Product Description
BBC-produced live-action family film, using footage of a pride of lions in East Africa accompanied by dialogue from actors including Sean Bean, Helen Mirren and Kate Winslet. The drama, which is enhanced by CGI animation, has its basis in factual wildlife research and observation.
Synopsis
Real animals are the stars of this ground-breaking, live-action family film, set against the visually stunning backdrop of East Africa. It combines breathtaking natural history footage, cutting-edge animation techniques, a high-profile voice cast, a skilfully judged script by Simon Nye and sophisticated animation techniques that allow the animals to talk to each other and tell the story themselves.
Accepting traditions of family life can sometimes prove too much for a mischievous young lion cub like Suki. But on the whole, growing up in the Serengeti is good, and it seems that nothing can disturb the harmony of her peaceful pride. Then tragedy strikes and it tests her courage and exposes the laws and forces of nature in her struggle to survive. .

The whole concept of this film works very well, with the real lion footage adding an edge that no animation can ever hope to achieve. The cinematography is the best I have ever seen and complemented well by a great story!

This film was entertaining, imaginative, and a good mix of fantasy and reality. The community of lions, the pride, the parenting woes, teenage troubles, and good/evil.

... Having said that, this was ordered at request of 16 year old son, who remembered watching it (on video) with his granny.
Watched with him last week. The story is effectively about two Prides, our heroes and 'the wanderers'. Very clever way the film actually has the lions 'speaking' - features a number of very well known British actors, on VoiceOver, too.
I would happily recommend this movie for anyone with young children. Easy going and enjoyable introduction for them into wildlife. :)
