Talk: The Thought Lion

Name

The episode credits for The True Bride list him as "Lion" and the whole story is called "Lion" or "The Lion". The StoryTeller says this at the end of the story "and they kept a statue of the lion, whom they both called The Thought Lion. And they told their children he could come alive in an instance if he wanted to."

I haven't seen all the JHH episodes in a while, but does the name "White Lion" come from those segment? Or is it one of those fan made name because he's white and a lion? -- Brad D. (talk) 13:26, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

I don't know, but the lion's bio at henson.com's Featured Creature section only listed him as "Lion". --Minor muppetz 03:38, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

They call him The Thought Lion because he comes to her when her thoughts are deepest, darkest and in most dire need. The Storyteller specifically says that they name him this, so I think that's justificatin enough. -- Scott (talk) 13:30, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

I just realised that the term "white lion" has been used on-screen. Jojo refers to him as "the white lion" at the end of Episode 110: Secrets of the Muppets. Don't know if that's good enough, but that might be where it came from among fans. --Minor muppetz 03:03, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
