Tropes present:[]
- Action Mom: As a former circus performer, Lana is very athletic. The first episode alone has her swinging on a trapeze just to capture a spider.
- Awkward Father-Son Bonding Activity: Part of the plot to the first episode involves Leo trying to find something that he and Spencer can do together, resulting in many of these.
- Barefoot Cartoon Animals: Lana and Judy.
- A Boy, a Girl, and a Baby Family
- Dom Com
- Dreadful Musician: Double-subverted. Spencer can play guitar very well, but he can't sing.
- Family Theme Naming: The other four family members (besides Leo) are named after movie stars.
- Fully-Dressed Cartoon Animal: Spencer and Kate.
- Furry Confusion: In the first episode, Kate is shown to be a horseback rider.
- Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal: Unlike the rest of the family, Leo wears only a sweater.
- Hot Mom: Lana.
- Lions and Tigers and Humans, Oh My!: Literally. The Lionheart family seem to be the only furries in an otherwise all-human world.
- In the first episode, Kate's riding club otherwise consists of humans.
- Thematic Theme Tune: "Roar".
- Through a Face Full of Fur: Lana, when one of Kate's friends mentions Lana being a former circus star.
