Movie Connections:

Follows "Born Free" (1974)

Although this film is in a trilogy, you don't have to see the other films to appreciate this movie.

I really enjoyed this film and anyone out there that is an animal lover would as well. It does have some really funny moments and the occasional downer, but at the end, you have to be satisfied with the end result. It's a good movie, and more for family viewing than anything else. I really didn't know if I'd like this movie, but I did - it isn't offensive and it is a reminder of the people we want to be. Don't expect too much of this film though, it's just a laid back sort of movie and the type of one you should watch if you've had a hard day. Personally, I think it's great but it isn't one for the devoted horror fan or anything like that - just a little bit of fun and the strong underlying message that we should think of others first if we want to become happy ourselves.
