Social Lion is a Walt Disney-produced animated short film directed by Jack Kinney, released by Buena Vista on October 15, 1954. The film was written by Milt Schaffer and Dick Kinney and animated entirely by Disney veteran Norm Ferguson.^[1]

A safari captures a lion in Africa, but the lion's cage falls off the boat once it arrives in the US. The lion gets out of the cage but fails to intimidate anyone, even several people interact with it in places such as a bus or a bar. In the end, the lion is captured by a group of policemen and taken to a zoo.
