    Beautiful Movie. Must watch

    Absolutely loved every moment of this movie. Everyone should take time and watch this beautiful movie.

    A Must Watch, Mainly for Animal Lovers

    It's such a pity this film isn't more popular! The pace of the narrative is great. It is engaging from the first minute. It's also evident to see how long they've taken to film it, as the boys grow along with the lion - about three years. While it focuses on the relationship between Mia and this wonderful lion, it also deals with family ties, connection with nature and the hard way in which these animal farms have to survive. Super recommended!

    Watch the movie!

    Such a good movie. Authentic, heartbreaking and motivates to reflect.

    a very important message to share about tourism and hunting.

    REVIEW - MIA AND THE WHITE LION

    Occasionally while watching all of the films I find a gem, a film that stands out and as an impartial independent reviewer I can write without influence.

    This is one such film, whilst the acting could be better and the editing is terrible the subject matter and of course the white lion truly make this a film too watch.

    Simple story but what I absolutely loved about this film is the time it took to make, it must have been filmed over a period of about 4 years because you literally see the same lion grow from a lion cub to maturity and the children grow also!

    Of course the actual white lion steals every scene Charlie is in and the actors were in my personal opinion very very fortunate to have the opportunity to work with such a beautiful creature.

    Easy to follow but with a very important message to share about tourism and hunting.

    One to watch but as I've said acting isn't the best and the editing is terrible but on this occasion I can forgive.

    Rating 8 out of 10

    Such important movie!

    It's so good movies like this to raise awareness for those who cannot speak for themselves. Humans should not hunt animals just for pleasure. This is NOT RIGHT! Watch THE COVE to fully understand how devious politicians and governments have become to hide their crimes from the public. Humanity is cruel!

    • Trivia
      Upon getting the idea for the film, co-writer/director Gilles de Maistre asked specialist Kevin Richardson about the possibility of filming a child with a lion. He was told that it would be impossible, as the only way for the lion not to harm the child would be that they grow up together, a three-year process for a lion and much too long for a film shoot. Undeterred, de Maistre found Daniah De Villiers a young South African girl already familiar with lions to grow up with the titular white lion cub, and shot the film over 2-1/2 years, from May 2015 to December 2017, with the other actors regularly flying in to shoot their scenes.
    • Goofs
      There are several closeups of the white lion in which he seems to be purring. Lions do not purr. They can roar, which smaller cats cannot. The largest cat that can both "meow" and purr is the cougar, or panther.
    • Quotes

      [John explains to Mia why it is dangerous to play with Charlie]

      John Owen: For now, he's a cub, and you want to have fun with it. Soon he'll just want to kill you. Go past this fence, and any one of these lions will tear you to pieces in five seconds flat. It doesn't matter if you've fed themnor bathed them or cuddled them, or if your name is Mia or Kevin or Obi-Wan Kenobi... a wild animal is a wild animal, and you can never change that, no matter what you do.
