| User Reviewsophie nVery Good Movie. I found it funny how the dog disapeared in half the scenes however. LOL. <33333 |
| User ReviewEllie LThis film sets itself apart from other Disney films, with its cinematic, yet untouched view of the African wild and at the same time shows a degree of brutality that makes the film's characters both interesting and their futures unpredictable. It is not often that actors so young can make characters entertaining yet mature. this is a film not only for children but for adults also. |
| User ReviewMandy PA Wonderful Movie. Saw it when I was little. Ethan Embrey is a great in this movie. |
| User ReviewAmanda Oi always had to fast-forward the first scene...poor elephans...but i love this movie...even before these young actors became famous... |
| User ReviewAliya DYeah, it was the Kalahari, not the Sahara. But good movie- very cute! |
| User ReviewKristy PFinally I've seen the movie I've longed to see FOREVER and I'm not dissappointed. Here you get to see 17-year-old Reese Witherspoon act incredibly well, she's so different and unusual in this movie but she acts so real. This is such a movie and the story was so gripping and the actors made it even more gripping and extraodinary! |
| User ReviewGavin SI wish i could do ten stars! A terrific movie! |
