Father's Lion is an animated short film in the Goofy series, produced in Technicolor by Walt Disney Productions and released to theaters on January 4, 1952 by RKO Radio Pictures.

[1] The film tells the story of Goofy taking his son camping and teaching him how to hunt.

[2] The plotline of the short is a parody of the book, that loosely based on the novel The Mountain Lion by Robert William Murphy.

Later as they are driving out to the mountains in their red woodie station wagon, Goofy tells his son about his past adventures.

One bullet comes close enough to part his hair, but in the next scene it is discovered that Goofy was unaware of the lion and merely target practicing with an empty can.

Goofy ties their meat up on what seems to be a rope to keep it "safe from the little forest creatures", but it turns out to be the lion's tangling tail as he was resting on a tree branch.
