Lionheart is a 1968 children's adventure film directed by Michael Forlong and starring James Furlong, Louise Rush, Robert Dean amd Pauline Yates.

[1][2] It was written by Forlong based on the 1965 novel Lionheart by Alexander Fullerton.

[3] A young boy rescues and protects an escaped circus lion.

[5] The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A rather leisurely children's film whose main attraction is a huge lion, magnificent in appearance but disappointingly (if understandably) lethargic in performance.

Guest appearances from Jimmy Edwards, Irene Handl and Joe Brown eke out a very flimsy narrative; and though the few snatches of suspense and bits of mild comedy may be acceptable makeweights for younger children, the pace is generally too slow to generate more than a modicum of excitement.
