King Şakir (Turkish: Kral Şakir) is a Turkish animated television series created by Varol Yaşaroğlu, Berk Tokay and Haluk Can Dizdaroğlu and produced by Grafi2000 for Cartoon Network Turkey, Boomerang Turkey and TRT 1.

Premise

The series tells the adventures of an anthropomorphic lion named Şakir who lives with his little sister, a cat named Canan, mother named Kadriye, whose also a cat, and his lion dad Remzi, his adopted 120-year-old tortoise father, Peyami, and their best friend, Necati, a purple elephant. There is also Mirket, a brown meerkat scientist who has a laboratory, and Tanju, a brown homeless dog who lives on the streets and is unemployed. The three main villains of the show are Kürşat, Ercan, and Necmi, who are a vulture, a gorilla, and a fox respectively. Starting in episode 235, Nejati's cousin, a pink elephant named Filsu is introduced, she is the first character on the show to be disabled, and uses a wheelchair to get around. The show is set in an animated version of İstanbul, but with magic, spaceships, parallel realms and all sort of regular show freakness.
