About this movie

After the death of her grandfather, Alma decides to go back to her childhood home - a little island in the heart of a majestic mountain range. There, she rescues two cubs- a wolf and a lion. An inseparable bond is formed, but their world is flipped once a forest ranger discovers them and takes the animals away. Now, the cubs must journey across the wilderness to be reunited once more.

Ratings and reviews

First and foremost, this is a children's movie. As such, it's good entertainment (children won't notice the B- acting, the plot gaps or the poor cinematic timing). It's also quite fun seeing a wolf pup and lion cub play together (the cinematography is beautiful). Of course, there is the script problem (awkward and unconvincing) and the casting problem (none of the main characters seem to fit their roles) and the costume design problem (always perfect hairdo's and just-out-of-the-box clothes, boots and hats). But if you can get past all that--and most children will--it's an entertaining watch. If you expect to enjoy this movie as an adult, as we did, then you'll be disappointed, as we were.
