From the plains of the Serengeti to Mount Kilimanjaro as a backdrop, we experience the central African animal kingdom, led by “The King of Beasts” – The African Lion! Part of Disney’s riveting & influential True-Life Adventures series, The African Lion was helmed by acclaimed Disney documentarian James Algar, the director behind the Academy Award winning docs The Living Desert and The Vanishing Prairie. The NY Times, in their 1955 review, wrote that the film was “as vivid, informative and exciting as a fast safari to the African plains.” Unstaged! Unrehearsed! Unbelievable!
