African Cats Reviews
- African Cats Movie Review From The Hollywood Reporter
The Hollywood Reporter says that the cinematography in this film is as well done as the stars are magnificent. " - African Cats Movie Review From Monsters and Critics
Monsters and Critics says that it really is amazing how close the filmmakers were to these cats and that this film and these cats are a "powerful reminder of nature's majesty." - African Cats Movie Review From The Los Angeles Times
The L.A. Times says that despite the appearance of this movie as a family film, it is pretty serious stuff with enough "survival-oriented tension" to make them question the G rating. - African Cats Review From The New York Times.com
The New York Times says that the focus of this film on mothers and their cubs and the treatment like a story should not be a surprise, since it is a Disney film. However, it is not all nice...
What is African Cats Rated?
Is Disneynature's latest film suitable for children?
Disneynature's African Cats is rated G. However, it is a nature documentary and there are some scenes with animals hunting and dying. It is kind of 'neatly' done and there is not a lot of blood seen but there are 'characters' that go missing and there is implied death that may bother young children and/or adults who are squeamish. Having said that, there is a lot to learn in this movie about the African savanna and about how cheetahs and lions live and differ and about a mother's love.
Common Sense Media recommends it for children aged 6 and up.
