The Lionhearts is an animated series from MGM that aired on Saturday and Sunday mornings in syndication in 1998.
The Lionhearts focuses on the behind the scenes life of MGM's mascot, Leo Lionheart, and his family. The series shows The Lionhearts living in a normal house and living a normal life just like non-celebrity families. Most of the members of the family are named after famous MGM movie stars. The characters first appeared on a series of Sing-Along children's videos released by MGM in 1997. The original character designs (especially those of Spencer and Kate) were greatly modified for the TV series. Ashley Tisdale provided the voice of Kate in the Sing-Along videos [1].
The series aired on syndication in the United States and was also seen in Australia and Latin America (translated into Spanish as Los Corazón de León). A DVD release is not yet planned at this time, however all 13 episodes used to be available on Hulu.
