Siegfried & Roy: Masters of the Impossible is a short-lived 1996 animated television series based on the Las Vegas magician act Siegfried & Roy.[2] The performers, famous for their animal acts with white tigers and lions, were recast as action-adventure heroes in the mythical land of Sarmoti.[3]

Plot

Siegfried is an illusionist and Roy is an animal tamer traveling with a white tiger named Manticore. They meet in a kingdom where four demons have recently been released, three of them are personifications of sins and tempt members of the royal court to give in to their vices while the fourth is actually part of Manticore. Roy wishes to make Manticore whole and works with Siegfried to this end while they also try to save the kingdom from the other three demons, which they accomplish using their own brand of magic.[4]
