Fun Freetime: Cocoro

Millions of moviegoers partake in the magic of Disney with the eagerly-anticipated remake of The Lion King. For families seeking tales of jungle royalty best enjoyed from the comfort of home, Cocoro, a free, ad-supported streaming platform, premiered JUNGLE EMPEROR LEO, a 90's-era anime classic based on Osamu Tezuka's popular manga "Jungle Taitei".

At the foot of the mysterious Moon Mountain lives a white lion named Leo, ruler of the jungle. He and his family live peacefully among the other animals in a lush habitat, but, unfortunately, humans have entered the Emperor's domain, shattering the peace in their relentless search for moonlight stones -- a source of exquisite wealth. With little regard for the animals of the jungle and overwhelmed by greed, the humans will soon have to contend with the jungle's true treasures - its proud inhabitants in JUNGLE EMPEROR LEO -- a wholesome animated film perfect for the whole family!

For families seeking more animated fables, Cocoro's fun-filled vaults includes such classics as:

• THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ (DUBBED) -- Across 4 seasons and 53 episodes of this Japanese anime based on L. Frank Baum's beloved classic, home audiences will be transported to the magical land of Oz for more adventures with Dorothy and her friends. (Japan, 1985)

• SEA PRINCE AND THE FIRE CHILD (DUBBED) -- This family-favorite anime feature from Sanrio weaves a romantic fairy tale about Malta, the lovely daughter of the Queen of Fire, and Prince Sirius, successor to the King Oceanus. Once, fire and water spirits lived in harmony, but since the Children of Water and the Children of Fire came to battle years ago, the lovers find themselves on opposite sides of a war. Though their union seems hopeless, a wise old woman reveals to them that the cosmos will align and bless their love if they can complete a dangerous journey in this fable loosely based on "Romeo and Juliet". (Japan, 1981)

• SWAN LAKE (DUBBED) -- This animated fable is based on the cherished ballet by Pyotr Tchaikovsky. One day, while handsome Prince Siegfried is out riding with friends, he spies, amidst swans on a lake, a particularly eye-catching one wearing a crown. This beautiful swan is actually Princess Odette, who has been charmed by the wizard Rothbart who covets her for himself. Siegfried, together with two merry squirrels, struggles to defeat the evil wizard in this childhood classic featuring Tchaikovsky's timeless music.
