One of Disney's better manufactured nature films, though <em>'Run, Cougar, Run'</em> still has a lot of the same issues. I could probably copy and paste my review from their other films of this type and it would still suit. The main problem I have with these productions is that they lack true backbone, most of the time it's the obvious bad human, good animal plot which is too predictable; it's also difficult to connect to, of course we want the animal to 'win' but there's no other real reason to care. As noted at the top, it is one of the more improved ones. There's more to the cast for one, which is unusual. Alfonso Arau is charming as Etio, he's the only real good guy here; alongside Joe (Douglas Fowley), perhaps. The animals are (seemingly - still arguable I guess) more looked after too, which isn't always the case with these films. Despite that and Arau, this isn't a film that I found entertaining; though they've done worse.
