African Cats Review ~ No wonder Steve Jobs loves cats

African Cats is the 3rd documentary film made by Disneynature. Following the first film, simply entitled Earth, and the sequel, Oceans, African Cats takes a focus in Africa. Now if you have never seen a DisneyNature film, its a pretty cool documentary.

African Cats is told in a story like way, focusing on three main stories. One of the stories is about a 6 old month cub, trying to grow up to be like his mother. But the mother gets hurt protecting the cub, making things a little harder. Another story focuses on the Cheetah's, and the last story is about a pack of Lions, where the leader of the pack must fight to prove that he is King. Even though all the stories take place in Africa, none of them are connected.

Its a serious documentary, but its told in a child like way by the narrator, Samuel L. Jackson. Yeah thats right. The guy from Snakes on a Plane, is narrating a Disney film.I guess they figured that with all his Snake knowledge he would be a good fit for talking about African Cats. Overall, he does a pretty good job of keeping things interesting.

Another good thing about African Cats is the camera work itself. Expect a lot of shots of cute cubs and kittens to make you go AWWWWW, and as well some epic cat fights for those who like action. Overall, the filming work is well done. You get up close to the cats, all while sitting in a comfy movie seat. The movie moves at a nice pace and always keeps you interested.

Overall, I have nothing bad to say about this film. Its a wildlife documentary done well, so if thats what your looking for, you can't go wrong. Plus you can take the kids.

Also, if you go during opening weekend, you can help make a donation to the African Cats with your ticket! So if you plan on seeing it, go opening weekend.
