DVD Reviews of Christian the Lion (The Lion Who Thought He Was People)

DVD Review: Wonderful, heartwarming story!
Summary: 5 Stars

Like many others, I too saw the YouTube video clip of the reunion of Christian with his 2 human friends and was very touched by it. I would recommend this DVD (along with the book of the same name) as the perfect gift to the animal lover on your gift list. The DVD followed the book closely and was amazing to watch. It has the YouTube reunion on it at the end which makes it alone worth keeping. The only disappointment was that all the voiceover was from the actor Bill Travers and none from Ace & John themselves. But watch the video, read the book and enjoy the incredible story!

DVD Review: Old but brilliant
Summary: 5 Stars

What a story, and the reunion scene is to die for - and much better without the cheezy music on the U-Tube clips.

DVD Review: I bought it much cheaper
Summary: 5 Stars

I am animal crazy & I just love this story. I was going to purchase it from Amazon but I quite accidentally came across it on Life is a Movie. With shipping & handling I paid $16.62.

DVD Review: Christian the Lion-A great film!
Summary: 5 Stars

When I saw this dvd on Amazon.com I was very exited because I was having a hard time finding it. I knew it would be a great video, it really does show you the bond that can exist between animals and people. I would recommend this for anyone. It is a wonderful dvd for children, teaching how to respect and care for animals. It is also a wonderful experience for anyone who loves animals.

DVD Review: Christian and Lion/VHS
Summary: 5 Stars

The tape we ordered arrived quickly and in great condition. There was no fuss, no glitches and no delays. Thank you!

Description of Christian the Lion (The Lion Who Thought He Was People)

CHRISTIAN THE LION is the story of a zoo-born lion cub purchased by two young men one Christmas at Harrod's Department store. They hand-raised the cub in London until he grew so large they knew he couldn't remain in London. This wonderful documentary was produced by the makers of "Born Free" to finance Christian's journey from England to east Africa and his introduction to life in the wild. It chronicles not only this major change in his life, but also the lasting and loving bond formed with his human "family." Clips from this film have circulated on the internet showing the remarkable and touching reunion of Christian with the men who raised him as a cub. The clips have also appeared on several TV shows.
