African Cats
Watched "African Cats" at the multiplex with friends the other night. It was classic Disney: the beautiful photography, amazing scenes (the male lion facing down a huge alligator is unforgettable), marred by the studio's longstanding tradition of having to anthropomorpize the animals. Every cat has a name, as well as a spot at the end in a "Where are they now?" segment. "Mara thinks that Fang is the best Dad ever!" Samuel L Jackson exuberantly informs us in his over the top narration.

This movie is very well done from a technical standpoint, but the soap opera aspects turn it into a kiddie film.
