A great story, shot throughout with infinite patience.

Some nice moments here, but this is a film that looks like a kids' TV featurette from an earlier age.

Of course the photography is second to none - no sense of hidden cameras here, more a feeling of cranes and on-set catering.

An attempt the dramatise the animal world which just feels cheap and unworkable. A drag.

Jan 13, 2013An attemp to bring back the wildlife disney adventures of 1960, that said, this movie can't hold a candle to those movies. 1 starBruce B Super Reviewer

Feb 04, 2012A decent family movie for parents to bring their kids to the theaters. It doesn't really offer anything about these felines that we haven't seen before on the Discovery Channel but is still good fun, with nice images and a great sound design.Carlos M Super Reviewer

Sep 29, 2011Another Disneynature success, African Cats may lack the narration quality or ooing and ahing moments from Earth and Oceans, but African Cats stands on its own. Plays almost like an African thriller, the film has some suspenseful scenes but it is also compassionate. Too bad the overly cheesy and sentimental music occasionally puts the film in sappy territory. Overall Rating: 72Bradley J Super Reviewer

May 12, 2011"African Cats" was my first outing into the world of Disney Nature and their series of documentaries about wildlife and the parts of the planet we live on that we know little about. While I was somewhat unsure what to expect going in, the result was pretty much what I might have guessed it would be and that isn't necessarily a bad thing. This is, by all definition, a documentary. What the makers have done to Diney-fy this film though is to place a story behind this footage that no doubt took months if not years of just waiting for a single event to happen. The animals are given names that are representative of their physical traits and the story line is something out of what was probably a draft of a "Lion King" sequel at some point. Parts of the film are fascinating and others drag. It's a mixed bag, but an entertaining experience and consistently an educational treat for the whole fam.Philip P Super Reviewer
