Earth, sometime in the 21st century. Because of non-stop environmental destruction, the United Nations commissions a private company, "Eternal Earth", to create an artificial jungle, to be a nature preserve and to protect animals. All wild animals are forced to live in it.
The animals that live in this "neo-jungle" have an easy life. Leo, son of Panja, is born in this artificial world. Because of the unrealistic nature of the neo-jungle, Leo lives his life like he hasn't a care in the world. But Leo is ridiculed by the other animals; they call him a coward--he is not like his father, the great Jungle Emperor, but Leo vows that some day he will be.
Kenichi, son of the Eternal Earth company's CEO, has no doubt about the great success of the neo-jungle. The story starts when Leo and Kenichi meet. Kenichi has the special ability to understand what the animals are saying.

Where it came from
Released in 2009, Jungle Emperor: The Brave Can Change the Future served as a feature-length commemoration of the 80th anniversary of Osamu Tezuka's birth. Produced by Tezuka Productions, the film was designed to reintroduce the iconic character of Leo the lion to a modern audience, emphasizing themes of environmental conservation and the interconnectedness of nature that defined the original manga series created in the 1950s.
The production sought to balance the nostalgic aesthetic of Tezuka's traditional character designs with contemporary animation techniques. Directed by Goro Taniguchi, the film was received as a gentle, educational update to the source material, focusing on a more grounded ecological message. While it departed from the original 1960s anime style, it was crafted to honor the legacy of Tezuka's work and his long-standing commitment to depicting the sanctity of wildlife.
