Watch African Cats For Free

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

This documentary was funny, dramatic, action-packed and suspenseful, and quite honestly one of the most fascinating and beautiful documentaries I've ever had the pleasure of watching. Stunningly shot in high definition, this is definitely best viewed on Blu Ray. Be sure to watch the end credits, as well - its hilarious!

well I have to admit that there is is some nice visuals in the movie. so if you just go for pretty pictures it is a great movie for you.What I was amazed about what the educational level of this movie. If I should rank it It would be like this: BBC documentaries the King of the animal world filled with information. After that Discovery/Animal planet where you get very little information in about 45 minutes I would guess. This Movie In 90 minutes you get so insultingly little knowledge that I would be ashamed to show it to a 8 year old kid for gaining any knowledge at all.This movie focus on predators and do not show the killing or how they feed. It does not even explain anything about how lion pride works, how they feed, how they really hunt.Had I paid to see this I would have been furious. So find a BBC or even Discovery show instead if you want a bit of knowledge.If you want pictures of nice cuddly teddy animals without getting disturbed by lifes cruel realities then this is the show for you.

In 2009 Disney Nature brought us "Earth" which is absolutely amazing but we had seen it before with the television series "Planet Earth", and if it feels familiar, its because they are from the same British producer, and director. Then a year later we get "Oceans", which is personally better than "Earth", and follows life under the sea, and crams in the underlying tone of needing to respect nature, because of the human qualities they share with us. Now in 2011, we get African Cats which is so far the best of the Disney Nature films. Keith Scholey, and Alastair Fothergilland have made a documentary that children, and adults will love. The film follows three stories in the Maasai Mara National Reserve. A younger cub named Mara, and her aging lioness mother Layla. Fang, the leader of the pride, who must protect his family from Kali, and his adult sons who want dominance over the land, and Sita, a cheetah mother who has the difficulty of raising five newborns all by herself in the tough African Savannah.The storytelling has been done to almost perfection, The first fifty minutes was undoubtedly the most compelling footage of the film, and is where the documentary flourished. Another great thing was that it let us clearly see the view of each animal it followed. Layla wants nothing more than to protect her cub Mara, Fang wants to remain king of the land, but seems a little to cowardly to do so, Kali wants to dethrone Fang and take over of his land, and Sita's mission is to train/protect her babies to become the best predators they can be. Where the film failed, was the choice of repeating a lot of the same tribal songs, during that last half- hour which made it drag a little. But overall this is a fulfilling, intriguing, and heart-felt documentary. I give it an 8 out of 10. Side note: While sitting in the theater a trailer came on that stars a young red head girl and Heather Graham, called "Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer". The trailer did not describe what the film was about, but it is most definitely was a children's movie, and it looked like you would be catastrophically dumber after watching it. So if your gonna take your kid to see a movie anytime soon, make it African Cats, and not Diary of a Wimpy Kid 2, or Hop.

For those who have been on safari and not just any safari but one to the Mara National Game Reserve during the migration season can relate to this movie. Crossing the river has its dangers as I have seen first hand as animals drown and others shredded by the crocodiles. I believe that the film should have come with a strong warning as some viewers perceived the animals to be cute and cuddly like their household pets. The animals of the Mara are wild so do stick to rules and regulations of the park whilst on safari.This film is an upgrade of 'Born Free' as the wild animals are reared with no human contact- just as nature intended. Hence viewers can appreciate the hardships faced by African cats as they grow and roam the wild, unlike the lazy domestic cat that snuggles up to you as it awaits for another can of 'Felix' on its plate.
