Happy 20th anniversary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Dave C @RT09838700 Dec 29, 2024 Bland and poorly told story we've seen versions of before. Still, interesting enough to lift above a single star See more Peter G @Petermovielover Oct 28, 2023 A few minor realistic elements aside this is a very satisfying & largely believable ˋcoming of age‘ film which illustrates a growing & touching bond between a 12 year old boy & a baby orphan cheetah that he & his father rescue & how this relationship develops as the animal grows. It shows in a honest non sentimental fashion how the young boy comes to understand where this wild animal really belongs which then begins a rather incredible but exciting adventure to return the cheetah to its proper wild habitat. Ballard, the director, has made other films showing man & animal dealing with nature & his celebrated cinematography is well on display here. Not merely a ˋfamily film‘ but a thoughtful one for all ages. See more Feb 27, 2021 One of my all time favorite films. Not because it is some masterpiece, but because it is a wonderfully simple story that is told very well. Visually charming, wonderful characters, and a great setting! I also love the music in this film. Songs like "Issa Lullaby" and "Phiry the Bird Sings" are some of my favorites. As a side note, I used to live in South Africa and the cheetah from this film visited my school (AISJ Pretoria was the school)! This was awhile ago. Maybe 2006. I was in 2nd grade and they brought the cheetah into our classroom and let us all line up pet her! She was very calm and it was the first time I had ever seen a cheetah so up close! One the many reasons this film holds a fond place in my heart. See more Read all reviews
