    Disney's African Cats

    African Cats Trailer

    Has anyone else seen this?

    It reminds me very much of the lion king. The scenery, photography, plot and events are breathtaking. I wept like a baby a few times, laughed pretty hard other times. It shows the true brutality of mother nature and what lions and cheetahs go through daily. More so, it's about the close bond of a mother and her offspring. It's unbelievable!

    I got the chills with the 5 male lions that roamed the North and South pride lands....terrifying force.

    My sister and I are seeing it tomorrow. We usually go see the Disney Nature films on Earth Day, but didn't get to this year. I'm excited to see it. I'm going to wear my African cats shirt from the zoo because I'm awesome like that.

    I don't think African Cats is on in UK cinemas unfortunately. But I'm glad you guys enjoyed it.

    Me and my mom were talking about seeing it. I'd really like to, but it depends if we have time & money. It's a really busy couple of months over here.

    I'd love to watch this while it's still in theatres. The cinematography looks breathtaking! I missed out on the movie The Last Lions earlier this year, so this would make up for said lost.

    I'm not sure if I'll get to see it. The Last Lions didn't show here, and while African Cats is on the 'coming soon' movie list, it may only be in very select theatres. So we'll see how that goes.
    That which you manifest is before you.

    It's not even on the coming soon list here, but apparently the release date is on the 21st October, which is quite far away. Darn UK release dates.

    This was on the official Facebook page just now.

    "Thanks to everyone who saw African Cats during opening week, the “See ‘African Cats,’ Save the Savanna” campaign will help protect more than 50,000 acres of land in Kenya’s Amboseli Wildlife Corridor--that's more than twice the size of Manhattan or 100 times the size of the Animal Kingdom theme park!"

    The theater we saw it in had just been refurbished to high def digital projection. It also had a new sound system. The lion roars were deafening. It was AWESOME.

    I saw it 2 1/2 weeks ago with my grandpa. I thought it was a really good movie/documentary! Although, some parts were sad, alas. But, on the bright side, I have two funny stories to tell (there's probably going to be minor spoilers, sorry);

    1. When the cheetah was hunting the gazelle, this boy remarks, "Don't gazelles live in the zoo?"

    2. There's this one part where this miniature turkey-like bird is jumping up and down in the middle of the savanna, and my first comment was, "What the hell?"

    Otherwise, I really enjoyed it (and I think my grandpa did, too)! Those babies were soooo cute! Especially the sound cheetahs make; too adorable! <3

    Hmm i dunno about this,this seems so..."heart string pulling" i don't mean to be a pessimist or anything but it just do everything right for you to go "aww" or get touched and think its beautiful and all....
    i guess this is a work wound being an actor and all xP, but im not going to lie of course it pulled my strings too, its just knowing exacktly why it did kind of takes out the experience for me.

    i kind of expected it to be like Suki the lion cub, ya know the movie where they dub the lions and animate thier muzzles?.
    of course il see this if i get the chance too though. i mean i love watching just animal planets stuff of big cats ^^

    Well shadow it is a documentary, not a film acting or anything, just a film documentary. It just shows us the true nature of animal kingdom in Africa. You should dig through some film related documentary to see the differences.
