A kindly father and his little boy find a baby cheetah on the roadside. They take it home and raise it as their pet. When the cat gets big, the dad says they need to return it to the wild. When he passes away suddenly, the boy sets out on a journey to take the animal to its wild home.
He runs away and meets an interesting fellow traveler in the desert. They battle elements and nature watching for signs the cat has learned to be a wild creature. We're not sure if the guy is a bad or good.
I have some concerns about the film from the perspective of it's probably not a good idea to take a wild animal into your house. Plus, once you have, it's probably not a good idea to let a little boy try and return him to the wild. It IS a movie though. So I let a lot of that go.
You'll learn a few things without having anything shoved down your throat. Love animals and like Africa? You'll dig this sweet family film. Look for the DVD from Coos Bay, Dora or Myrtle Point.
