Interesting, but we have to remember it is Disney!

I for one and am still looking forward to seeing it, and I suppose more because we know and love the big cats that they have used in the film.

Thanks for the link SM

Thanks SM.

This guy has obviously not been to the Mara / watched BCD before and seen our wonderful Shakira and our handsome Notch 'cause if he had I'm sure his review would have been a bit more enthusiastic. Never mind though, we're all beside ourselves at the thought of having to wait until October to see it and I know we're all going to love it. I was so mad when I found out we wouldn't get to see it on it's Earth Day release date Mad

Did have a wee chuckle though at his line "and a heart-stopping confrontation between three fraternal cheetahs menacing Sita's cubs" - which of course we have all seen and know it was Honey's Boys I love you

True Doogs, he was just doing a review and probably has never watched BCD and has no interest.

For us it will be truly wonderful, I am just sorry Earth Day was not our release day.

Oh he is just a Plumb. I am looking forward to seeing it as you all are and it will have more meaning to us than it obviously did to him.

Some different reviews, certainly more complimentary :-

interesting to read different reviews, and we will need plenty of tissues for sure.

Thanks for the links Doogs.

They certainly were more complimentary Doogs which is pleasing and it sounds as though the scenery in the film is stunning. Just can't wait to see it. Thanks for the links.

As we have to wait until October to see this film in the UK - here's a short clip.

Oooooo it's not fair that we have to wait. Those clips were amazing Lai, loved the little behind the filming clip but the second does give us a taster of what is to come and I can't wait. Thanks so much for both of those.
