You've decided to remember Lion, London Zoological Gardens for later. You can see all your remembered films here.
Summary: A male lion, right next to bars that are about 6 or 8 inches apart, keenly watches a uniformed zoo attendant toss small morsels of food into the cage. The lion alternates between finding the food on the cage floor and reaching through the bars to swipe at the man, who stays alarmingly close to the beast. In the background are the large rocks and brick wall at the back of the lion's habitat.
Feeding lions was so much more hardcore 115 years ago! Apparently, you had to risk your life, or else you just weren't doing it right. It's very sad that scenes from the zoo didn't catch on in film; this was quite fun.
I guess if you've never been to a zoo, or if you were seeing this on a big screen in 1895 it might be impressive, but otherwise it's downright forgettable.
If you have any interest in seeing a zoo-keeper taunt and harass a lion for 45-seconds, strap your fucking ass in because this is the movie you've been waiting for.
