Don't be fooled by G Rating!

by Angel_of_Movies

The cuteness is overwhelming, and you'll fall in love with the furry cast of characters without any doubt. Sensitive kids should not be taken to this movie however. There is death involved (this is nature you know) and although the only dead animals you see are zebras and gazelles the sensitive little ones might have a problem even if they don't quite understand what is being said, the music suggests that something "scary" or "sad" is about to happen which all ages understand. Heck, I cried through most of the middle of the movie but I am sensitive (and a mother). All in all the movie is a wonderful story of two mothers making sure their cubs survive the African Savannah.
Stay through the credits as you will enjoy them immensely!

Heartbreaking tale of the reality of 2 cat moms with cubs living (and dying) in the wild

by Serendipity0468

Beautiful footage, I must say, but the tale of hardships following a mama cheetah & her cubs, a lioness & her cub- I had to leave the theater because I was so upset when things went awry (which happened throughout the hour I saw). Mom cats crying for lost young, attacks targeting terrified young -- the incredible bond between mom & cub makes it even more heartbreaking because the mom will stop at nothing to protect them. When that fails? Water works. Terrified lost or endangered young, the devastation of the mother when young are consumed by a predator, I kept crying!! If you are or your children are animal lovers sensitive to the brutalities of nature, I don't recommend. My animal loving daughter was hurting over the sadness. An hour in with obvious additional impending doom looming, we bailed out before having to choke back tears yet again!! I'll wait for the DVD when I can fast forward.. And an hour in, no leopard at all as the synopsis states, Lion and cheetah only.

A real adventure.

by clarinety29

One Wednesday my younger sister was depressed and I wanted to cheer her up. She loves cats so I took her to go see African Cats. The movie took us on a real adventure. It was like we were actually there. And the cubs were so adorable! It was amazing how human like the reactions of the cats were to their surroundings. It gave us a new perspective. It helped us understand the cats and animals more. But what really made this movie special was looking at my sister when she saw the babies and the huge smile that adorned her face.

While we sleep

by playitagainsam91941

It is sometimes easy to forget what the rest of the world is doing while we sleep. This movie reawakened me to the life that goes on around the world. The drama of mother nature reminds me that for many, humans and animals included, today is the present, a gift which may not be there tomorrow. I am in awe of the beauty and adversity shown in this move. If you have the opportunity to go to the website for this film either before or after the movie, please do. I applaud the filmmakers for doing a job well done. I highly recommend this movie for any age. It created an opportunity for many discussions between me and my daughter about life and death but mostly the bonds we share with mother earth.

Learned a lot!

by

I love animals, and this was a movie for animal lovers. It was very emotional, but i learned a lot and think it was very well done. i became very attached to the animals, as some of them were named.

Great movie to take the kids to watch and help mother earth in the process!

by

I took my 7yr old to see the movie African Cats and she loves it! I loved it even more! the scenes and how they captured the animal so up close it was breath taking! I loved the stories behind the 2 families and how they were narrated. It was just too adorable to watch the lil kitties play with each other and watch them grow up and how their mother fight to bring up their kiddies! Please go see this movie you wont be disappointed plus is always a plus that they donate part of their tickets sales to save the Savanna in which this wonderful creatures live in! I love it!

Pur-fect

by

Absolutely adored this film. Heart warning, touching. It really spoke to me. The bonds between mother and child, even in animals, it's amazing. I think even if it is rated G, it is more appropriate for adults and perhaps older children.
Go see it and decide for yourself.
