DVD Reviews of Christian the Lion / The Great Dan Patch
DVD Review: For the LOVE OF LIONS!
Summary: 4 Stars
What's not to love??
It seems parts of this movie has made headlines recently on YOU TUBE, even though Christian the Lion reunion happened many years ago. This reunion clip hit YOUTUBE so big, millions of people around the world has seen it.
You'll enjoy it as we all have!
This MOVIE is also based on the book title, Christian the Lion. This title was recently re-released and another edition was updated and printed. The authors of this book are also the owners of Christian.
The pictures are based on this movie. It is a must for all of us who love lions! (and love our own little personal lions that live at home with us, and sleep on our beds, and watch TV with us!).
The love,strength, and beauty of this lion, Christian, is special, rare, and film footage like this is even rarer! He was loved by people, loved by other animals, and loved by lions! Christian was a lion with a heart of gold. He was compassionate, friendly, and genuinely loved.
There are those who question whether animals have emotions, but for those of us who have seen this reunion clip, we KNOW that animals have emotions, and that Christian the lion deeply loved John and Ace, and George Adamson.
There is rare footage of George Adamson (of the Born Free fame) which I was delighted to see after all these years.
If you are not familiar with the book and the movie BORN FREE, this is a great introduction to that famous lion, Elsa the lioness!
If you are too young to remember, it is a must to read the books by Joy and George Adamson, Born Free and Living Free, if you liked the YOU TUBE reunion clip of Christian the Lion and the two guys who raised her in their London Apartment back in about 1971.
It is a must to own this video and to be able to know the WHOLE story, not just the short clip available on YOU TUBE.
It is deeply heart warming, it is love with no conditions,and it will stir your emotions down to your toe nails.
Get to know Christian the lion!
WORD OF CAUTION: I would watch this alone the first time out, if you are embarassed about being emotional (read "crying") in front of others.
DISCLAIMER: If you cry, don't sue me. You'll LOVE IT!!
DVD Review: Review of DVD quality.
Summary: 1 Stars
This particular DVD, the one with both "Christian the Lion" and "The Great Dan Patch" on it, is absolutely awful in terms of quality. The movies were copied from old beat-up 16mm films, there is almost no color in the picture, and various other flaws as well.
Don't get me wrong; "Christian the Lion" is a great film. I just believe you should be able to SEE it. There is an authorized DVD of Christian The Lion available, and the quality is FAR better than this one.
DVD Review: A Gem of a true documentary.
Summary: 5 Stars
Every once in a while a video makes the rounds in E mails showing a lion reunited with his original owners after a long separation. The lion walks slowly down the rocks intent on the 2 fellows. Suddenly he takes off after them. You expect to see carnage, but instead he jumps into their arms, hugging and licking them to pieces. Christian The Lion is the true documentation of how this all came about. It is beautifully put together complete with haunting music. The whole movie length account is as inspiring as that small clip we've all seen. That particular scene does appear in this movie, but there is so much more. It's unbelievable. It is an extension of the Lions in Born Free which was also true, and a peek into the life of the amazing George Adamson who lives in the wild amongst them. Now I have to see Born Free to link it up in my mind.
The second movie of the double feature, The Great Dan Patch, is also a true rendition done in movie form of the life of a great harness racer. I watched them in a row and have had a really nice Saturday.
DVD Review: Christian the Lion - worth watching
Summary: 5 Stars
Christian the Lion - I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It was a little tame, no pun intended, but worth watching. It's a great story. there were some sad parts so don't expect it to be all happy and heartwarming. It is the true story/documentary of Christian and what became of him. I enjoyed it enough to give it as gifts to a couple of friends/family who are animal lovers.DVD Review: glad to find this movie
Summary: 4 Stars
the DVD case it came in was broken when it got to me, but it shipped in a very timely manner and i was just happy to have found this DVD at all (and you can't beat the price)! i just slipped the cover out and put it in an old case i had lying around and it's totally fine.
i'd recommend this film (christian the lion, i haven't watched the great dan patch yet) to all animal lovers.
