DVD Reviews of Born Free

DVD Review: Great Movie
Summary: 5 Stars

I showed this video to a group of high school students and it was "new" for all of them. They were all entranced with it and it is just so nice to view a great movie without worring about language or other inappropriate content.

DVD Review: Never again
Summary: 1 Stars

Have not received the DVD yet. DVD Legacy SUCKS. It's been a month since I ordered the video. I'm ordering from Barnes & Noble next or Borders. I want my money back.

DVD Review: Old Favorite
Summary: 5 Stars

I saw this movie when I was a child and just fell in love with Elsa the lion. When I found it was on DVD I had to purchase it. It is a classic and if you love animals you will love this movie.

DVD Review: Excellent heartwarming film
Summary: 5 Stars

I am a huge animal lover, but somehow I had never seen this movie. The "Christian the lion" clip really got me interested in that story which led me to this story.

This movie was positively fantastic. The storyline was heartwarming in itself, but the landscape was breathtaking.

This movie was a real treat and I am sure that I will enjoy watching it again and again.

DVD Review: Born free
Summary: 5 Stars

We watched this superb movie with our children 35 years back and now are injoying it again with our grandchildren. In a time of too many action movies and movies with too much violance this film is an excellent way to bring some quiet into the home

Description of Born Free

A true story of elsa the lioness who was raised by game warden george adamson and his wife joy. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 04/24/2007 Starring: Virginia Mckenna Bill Travers Run time: 95 minutes Rating: Pg

Born Free is a bona fide family classic. The tale of how Kenya game warden George Adamson and his wife Joy (on whose book the film is based, with Virginia McKenna and Bill Travers in the principal roles) adopted and raised three orphaned lion cubs, taking a particular shine to the one they call Elsa before helping her return to the wild, is familiar by now; so's John Barry's Oscar-winning title song. And while the movie has its flaws (it contains references to "Bwana George" and such that would be considered frightfully un-PC nowadays), the animal footage, especially that of the lions in their various stages of development, is extraordinary and timelessly entertaining. DVD bonus features are limited to theatrical trailers, but the digitally remastered film can be viewed in both widescreen and full screen. A keeper. --Sam Graham
