Our Review:
We watched this DisneyNature documentary several weeks ago (before we started the blog), but loved it so much we wanted to include it here. We might add a few more reviews of movies we've already seen over the next few weeks.
With gorgeous photography, a compelling storyline, strong "characters" and Samuel L Jackson's incomparable narrative skills, this movie was hard not to love. The film follows two prides of lions in competition for one strip of territory in the African Savannah and a mother cheetah who is trying to move her young family through the same area unscathed. As someone who does not really consider herself an "animal person" Chelsea was impressed by how distinct each animal's personality was. We all felt strongly attached to the animals, found them easy to recognize, cheered their successes and shed a tear at their losses.
This was, I think, the only movie we've watched which successfully captured the attention of even Jasper.
We highly highly recommend this movie, as well as DisneyNature's Earth Day film from 2010--"Oceans" which we watched, and loved, about a year ago.
