DISNEYNATURE: AFRICAN CATS
Release date: October 4, 2011
Blu-ray version (some materials may not appear on the DVD version)

The latest CATegory in the series of Disneynature films is “African Cats.” Like its predecessors, this film is a beautiful documentary which lends its stunning visuals perfectly to Blu-ray. Even if you saw this film in the theater, I just can’t stress how spectacular it is in high definition.

Narrated by Samuel L. Jackson, this wildly exciting film visits the African savanna, and follows the lives of two real cat families, lions and cheetahs, and in the true tradition of Disney nature films, tells their story in a way that helps us to look at them as more than simply animals, but as intelligent personalities with real emotions.

However, Disney is committed to helping to protect the environment.
