Animal Court is a modern fable, in which wildlife from around the world turn the tables on humans. Set in an African jungle, the animals take to trial one man whose global conglomerate has destroyed habitats, polluted waters, and pushed animal, insect, marine, and plant species closer to endangerment and extinction. How will animals serve justice if the jury finds the defendant guilty beyond all reasonable doubt?

In a jungle clearing, wildlife species witness a landmark trial of animals vs humans. Three judges—Cesar Lion, Bernard Bear, and Darrell Dolphin—preside over the trial of a wealthy prince for deforestation, water pollution, animal poaching, and other crimes. Prosecutor Abel Wolf and Defense Attorney Kane Snake examine and cross-examine witnesses in a variety of species. Lillian Leopard covers the proceedings for ANN, Animal News Network, and Lucy Ladybug leads the animal jury. Following closing arguments, the judges instruct the jury on their deliberations. The verdict the jury delivers is a surprising sentencing option.
