Bad acting, bad script, bad directing, this was a huge waste of time to watch it. I see that this cannot be a blockbuster, but giving a lion to a circus in 21st century?? That was a bad joke.

I cannot believe what I just watched. I just can't believe how this film got funded and made in Canada, I pray to God it's because they lied and left out the animal cruelty part out of their description. Shame on everyone who participated in this sick charade. And even worse the organization that gave them an award. Doesn't anyone do their homework any more??? The whole overblown message in this beyond amateur film was animal cruelty is bad. At the end of the film she says these two animals weren't supposed to be together but ended up that way due to human interference. Well guess what, that's exactly what the filmmakers did here. I was trying to understand how they had the cubs and then the juvenile wolf and lion acting together. They actually took two friggin cubs and raised them together in order to make this stupid piece of garbage film. Who does that?!? Who gives the green light for this garbage? Likely they abused more than one set of cubs since they don't use just one animal actor for films or shows, and there were shots where esp the wolf was not the same. The guy that trained these animals makes money off animals, that's what he does for a living. These forced-bond animals aren't living in a sanctuary protected from the bad humans. They are living in a 'reserve' owned by the humans that did this to them. This film should never have been made in the 21st century, should definitely not funded by Canada or the provinces, and should be pulled from viewing. An absolute disgrace. The money wasted on this poor excuse of a film (everything except the aerial shots was bad) would be better directed towards actual animal and environmental causes. Don't let your kids watch this.

Apparently the wolf-lion relationship is true in real life, and the scenes of the animals together are wonderful. The humans spoil this film. To be fair, the writing is abysmal, which is a challenge for any actor, but these actors are pretty horrible. The plot is absolutely ridiculous: a lion cub falls from a tree into a girl's arms? A veritable horde of heavily armed officers are on a shoot-to-kill crusade in a large, unpopulated forest? Really? Add in the circus guy who is the worst role model on earth for his son as he drugs, whips and terrorizes the animal and then carefully, repeatedly, teaches his son to lie. Not a film I would want any kids of mine to watch. Never mind that a mother dies within the opening moments of the movie; in all other respects this ain't Disney. Go watch Togo instead - a real story of a heroic animal told quite well.
