King Leonidas

King Leonidas is the king of the Isle of Naboombu from Disney's 1971 film Bedknobs and Broomsticks.

Physical Description
King Leonidas looks similar to Prince John from Robin Hood, but has a mane, a royal golden crown, and wears a king's red robe.

Personality
Like all lions, King Leonidas is arrogant. Even he is sensitive and temperamental. Also he possesses a deep love for the game of soccer, as seen when the royal championships on his Island could not continue when a suitable referee couldn't be found. He was extremely aggressive and roared at everything that moved.

Powers and Abilities
King Leonidas' voice is quite powerful, which can be expected from a royal lion. His yell to 'stop that ball' is powerful enough to blow everyone away to the net from its hurricane-like force.

Bedknobs and Broomsticks
He has an anti-human attitude, which may have stemmed from the fairy tale that animals staged a coup on the Isle of Naboombu, killing the original leader, the human wizard Asteroth. He wears the Star of Astaroth, a talisman that is needed to bring inanimate objects to life. After suffering much pummelling and stampeding at a soccer game, Mr. Brown succeeds at grabbing the Star of Astsroth from him. This causes an enraged him to pursue Mr. Brown, Miss Pricem and the children, but he is foiled when he is turned into a rabbit, albeit one with a lion's tail, by Miss Price. He is last seen scurrying away. As her rabbit spells are temporary, he presumably returned to his lion form.

House of Mouse
King Leonidas appeared in cameo with his servant The Secretary Bird from House of Mouse.
