I loved this movie. I waited exactly 1 year to see this movie. Last Earth Day, I saw Oceans by Disney and they advertised African Cats was coming out Earth Day 2011. It was well worth the wait. My whole family went, the kids ages, 5 months, 2 years, 5 years and 7 years old. This movie is perfect for every age group. The movie really draws you in and you emotionally get involved with the stories of the different animals. I thought I knew almost everything about the wild, I learned a lot in this movie and have gained more respect for the animals and have a better understanding of their behavior. I can't say enough. This is for any age group and I'm sure I will own the dvd once it comes out. GO SEE IT!!

Can't wait for the next Disneynature release on next Earth day!

When I went to see this movie I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was wonderful. Great for all ages, it will hold your interest throughout. I've never seen anything like it.

Beautiful footage, I must say, but the tale of hardships following a mama cheetah & her cubs, a lioness & her cub- I had to leave the theater because I was so upset when things went awry (which happened throughout the hour I saw). Mom cats crying for lost young, attacks targeting terrified young -- the incredible bond between mom & cub makes it even more heartbreaking because the mom will stop at nothing to protect them. When that fails? Water works. Terrified lost or endangered young, the devastation of the mother when young are consumed by a predator, I kept crying!! If you are or your children are animal lovers sensitive to the brutalities of nature, I don't recommend. My animal loving daughter was hurting over the sadness. An hour in with obvious additional impending doom looming, we bailed out before having to choke back tears yet again!! I'll wait for the DVD when I can fast forward.. And an hour in, no leopard at all as the synopsis states, Lion and cheetah only.

It was Awesome!
