Rating: G
for general audiences
Reviewer: Kent Tentschert
“DisneyNature African Cats” brings the African savanna to life in stunning detail as we follow Mara, a lion cub who strives to grow up with her mother’s strength, spirit and wisdom. Sita, a cheetah who is a single mother of five newborns. And Fang, a proud leader of the pride who must protect his family from a rival lion clan.

Filmed over two and a half years using state-of-the-art camera equipment, this gorgeous series explodes on the screen with both heart-stopping adventures and heart-warming stories. Reminiscent of “Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom” this educational and wildly entertaining film will “wow” families, creating an instantly memorable experience.
