Lion Captain

"I'm in charge here, and I won't turn this ship around for anyone!"

- The Lion Captain "You're really starting to get on my last nerve."

- Lion Captain to Dave the Nestrian

The Lion Captain is the former secondary antagonist of the 2015 animated film All Creatures Big and Small (Originally titled Oops! Noah is Gone... and titled Two by Two in the UK). He is the captain of Noah's Ark and is determined to search for dry land during the great flood. He is at first believed to be the main antagonist, but this is misinformation to cover the true main villain(s).

Background
The Lion Captain is a strong and bulky lion with brown eyes and a black mane and the captain of Noah's Ark. He has two gorilla henchmen, and two assistants, a flamingo and a rhino named Margaret. Lion Captain is voiced by Alan Stanford, who also did the voice for the Black Wolf in The Flight Before Christmas.

History
Lion Captain first appears at the

When Dave is discovered to be a stowaway by one of the gorillas, she throws him and Hazel into the prison cell and calls her boss. Dave and Hazel try to explain to Lion about the disappearance of their children and beg him to turn the Ark around. Lion says he must follow Noah's orders and refuses. Before leaving, he tells the gorilla to keep them imprisoned so he can deal with them later.

Dave and Hazel trick the gorillas to let them out of their cell, and make it up to the ship's bridge where Lion is. Dave enters first and begs to Lion another time to turn around the Ark to find his son, since Finny is all Dave has. Lion, believing Dave is complete crazy and annoying, warns Dave that the next time he is bothered again, he might lift the animal consumption ban. Before he is, Hazel whacks a stick on the back of Lion

During the end credits, Lion is shown to have reformed celebrating the disappearance of the floodwaters along with the other animals, and is shown to be on a date with Flamingo, showing they had feelings toward each other.

Trivia

 * He has a similar appearance to Scar from The Lion King and Makunga from Madagascar 2: Escape to Africa. They are all lions with black manes and antagonists in their respected movie.
 * Unlike Scar and Makunga, he was only the secondary antagonist and not the true villain.
 * Unlike Scar (who was completely evil) and Makunga (who was a jerk), Lion Captain was doing his job for what he thought was the right decision.
