The Wolf & the Lion
A chance meeting brings a student pianist, a wolf pup, & a lion cub together on a secluded Canadian island. See how these seemingly natural enemies, a canine & a feline, come together & bond with each other as well as with their human rescuer. This wonderful family friendly film reminds me of those good old Disney animal movies where the unlikely creatures grow up together, become separated, reunite, & find their way home. The film’s heavy handed message is about protecting nature & animals. Although very predictable, it is a cute nature story about our precious creatures & how amazing nature is. Trained animals, four wolves & two lions, were used in the filming & were supposed to be sent to different wildlife sanctuaries at the end, but they got along so famously that they ended up staying together in Canada.
Alien gives it 3 “music soothes the savage beast” stars out of 4.
