VHS Movie Reviews of Christian the Lion
Movie Review: Never have i seen such love displayed by "ferocious beasts".
Summary: 5 Stars
In the same mold as 'Born Free', this documentary style film, to me, is much better. It's about a 3rd generation London Zoo lion named 'Christian', that acts like a human...and his eventual introduction into a life with wild lions in Africa. Much of the film centers around George Adamson, and how he forms a pride of lions out of rehabilitated, orphan cubs. Which is just amazing.
Never have i seen such love displayed by "ferocious beasts". 'Christian' is a cat like no other. He will surely touch your heart.
We found it on a $1 DVD, at Family Dollar. It's a double feature disc with another family film ('Lil'Scratch'), on the opposite side, about an orphaned bear cub. The transfer quality isn't that good, but the story makes up for it.
It has some sad scenes and shows carcasses of large mammals, so viewer discretion is advised.
A very powerful and moving experience.
***** 5 Stars. Highly recommended!
