VHS Movie Reviews of Leopard Son [VHS]

Movie Review: Anthropomophized Leopard sends wrong message
Summary: 2 Stars

By portraying non-human life as somthing that is human, filmmakers patronize the organism(s) that are being represented. This film, pitched as a "real-life lion king", is a poor example of Natural History film. Those who wish to appreciate and respect leopards and other forms of non-human life that are represented through film and video should avoid this film. It merely provides a cozy narrative within which humans can "identify" with the leopard; simplifiying its existence so that it is easily consumed by viewers who want a happy story.
