Marsden, who is known for his work as the voice of Goofy's son Max, plays the role of Bagheera, the wise and serious-minded panther who keeps the group focused and safe.

Throughout the series, the group of animal friends faces a variety of challenges and obstacles, from dealing with dangerous predators to learning how to hunt for food. Along the way, they learn important life lessons about friendship, loyalty, and the importance of taking care of each other.
