SEE DVD FOR SYNOPSISThe documentary African Cats is like a real-life Lion King. It's astonishing in its intimacy as it examines the lives of two lion prides and a determined cheetah single mom, and how their lives intertwine on the Serengeti. African Cats is warmly narrated by Samuel L. Jackson, who bestows just enough identifiable emotions onto the film's subjects to be extra engaging. But the stars of African Cats are the cats themselves--and the amazing photography of them in action. Documentary directors Alastair Fothergill and Keith Scholey have featured incredible camera techniques that allow close-ups of a tiny fly, say, landing on a lion's whiskers. There's also a lo! t of slow-motion photography that shows the amazing muscles in a lion's shoulders or a cheetah's paws when the cats are on the hunt. African Cats focuses on the pride of lions overseen by Fang, a male with a snaggletooth injured in a fight, and the lionesses and cubs who make up his family. It also focuses on Sita, an agile young female cheetah, and her litter of adorable cubs, who play and purr just like domesticated kittens. African Cats doesn't shy away from the law of the jungle, showing successful hunts and the dangers that the animal families must face daily. But despite the very real perils of the wild, most of the cast of critter characters are healthy and safe for the duration of the film. African Cats is a perfect family-friendly film for animal- and nature-lovers of all ages. --A.T.
