The Scary Lion

The Scary Lion is the titular main antagonist of the magical event "The Lion and the Bear" of Teletubbies.

He is quite controversial due to his menacing voice and the sinister music that played during his segment. Due to criticisms from parents of the show's audience, later airings gave him a goofier personify, and his angry voice was replaced with a camp and effeminate Lancashire accent.

Trivia

 * The Scary Lion is the only villain of all the show.
 * In the original sketch, he had a more menacing roar, a suspenseful buildup before he appears, and during his screentime, very intense music would play, similarly to a horror movie. Due to criticisms from parents due to scared children, his segment was edited, softening his personality and playing zanier but more relaxed music. The segment STILL received criticism, and many countries banned it. Similarly to the controversial pingu episode with the deformed piniped.
