Firstly, salute to director and whole crew that they really use all real Lion and take 3 years to shoot that for girl and lions to familiar. That's why this film is so realistic. I don't have anything to say about plot, I'm enjoying Mia and that cute small lion playing and interacting (Later become large one and also still great). Just watch this movie and you'll at least not regret or feel bore.

"Mia and the White Lion" feels like a movie/vehicle created specifically for spreading an important message. The script doesn't feel creatively inspired but more like a series of cliched scenarios thought up during a board meeting. The movie has some quality actors which is good because some of the ham-fisted dialogue and scenes in less skilled hands could have been dire. I also feel like I must mention that intermittently, and awkwardly, a legend about a white lion saving the world is brought up that the teenage kids unrealistically believe throughout the movie. The movie has some good qualities too. The scenery and the animals are beautiful. The baby animals are cute. The acting is good especially given what the actors have to work with. The message is important and a good reason to support the movie. Unfortunately I can't say what the message is without spoiling the plot since it's not revealed until the end of the second act. Overall I give the movie 5 stars. It's watchable but not quite good.

There are certain things shown in the movie that could leave the children curious and uncertain specially towards their relationship with the parents. It is strongly advised that parents should view it before the kids do and then decide accordingly. The script is very weak. The message in it is very good. The bonding between Mia and the white lion didn't look convincing enough. It was as if a switch is turned by the director and Mia suddenly begins to develop a strong bond with the cub for apparently no convincing reason. My 7yr old daughter didn't like it as much.

The roles portrayed in the movie, is very stereotypical. Which make the movie something you'd expect on the lifetime channel. The girl does a good job carrying the movie,in the scenes with the lion. But you don't believe them to be a family. story is: A dad brings home a white lion cub to his family on Christmas eve,than later when his daughter has grown attached to it and it starts to grow up. He goes: "don't get to attached to the animal,it is a wild animal".. If you don't want you daughter, whom you dragged against her will from London to Africa to grow attached to a lion cub. Than don't bring it home, like it some sort of a cute kitten. Also the wife is very 1950 ish, Always happy always expecting hubby to make the right choice. Another thing that bothers me, and make the movie very campy,is that whenever her dad says something the daughter don't agree with, she just pout a bit. Than they are a happy family again. That would probably work back in civilization,whee you have friends etc. But when you live in the middle of nowhere Africa, and have no social activities to distract you, or cheer you up. I think there would be trouble in paradise. And OFC in best Disney style, the wife's very little independent. Personally, if it was me. I would feed the dad to the lions he keep. Cause he is not a likable guy. The Camera work is sometimes very good, other times quite bad. I do miss more interaction between the girl and the lion,when they are on the run. There are very few long scenes of the two. And almost every scene with her and the lion, in the wild are cut short.By scenes of how the family back home at the ranch, are panicking and scrambling to find em. That should be a minor thing.A back burner. What should be the main focus was the girl and the lion on the run in the wild open landscape of Africa They also need better editing. Sometimes there are shot of the girls feet and part of the lions body,which means the camera has been too close in. Shots like that should end up on the cutting room floor. The movie isn't bad,but it's just ok. Too much Disney style with the whole happy family, and bad guys with 5 o clock shade

Just watched this film with my two children who are 9 and 7. We enjoyed it a lot. It is beautifully shot and carefully filmed. The film also carries a powerful message that will resonate for children for care for our world.

The producers has no idea about lions or emotions. Serious ups and down, maybe a remake could justify a great movie. Felt like a European version of visiting South Africa, totally offbeat
