Did you ever wish you had different parents?!

A cooler mam? A more generous dad? Maybe a chartacter from the cinematic world?

It's true that some parental figures in the movies would put our own mams and dads to shame!

With Father's Day on the horizon, Showcase Cinemas in the UK has found the most popular 'Movie Dad' of all time.

The group carried out a survey to discover our favourite fictional fathers.

The wise and kind father makes the ultimate sacrifice for Simba and his untimely death in a stampede (all down to his brother Scar) has left many audiences, young and old, in floods of tears.
