Cheetah brings to focus the concerns of experts and laymen alike.
Top Critic'80s Disney live-action adventure with few perilous moments.
It's an exceedingly simple story using the lure of golden African locations, animal observation, and teen histrionics to coax viewers in, directed by a guy who used to craft Circle-Vision films for Epcot.
Despite spotty acting, the story is worth seeing for animal lovers.
There's a lot here that the kiddies will like, and it's delivered with a minimum of the outright schmaltz that's become so prevalent in Disney's more recent efforts.
An overly sentimental 'family film' that brings to mind the old Disney True-Life Adventures, Cheetah is a very old-fashioned movie. And that's not meant as a compliment.
