    I liked it, that's all that matters

    Not every movie is destined to be mentioned in the same breath as Casablanca. This is a sweet, fun children's film!

    Exquisitely Filmed, Unbelievable Soundtrack, Utterly realistic Acting and Great Story Line.

    A Rich Treasure of Memories for me. Exquisitely Brilliant Work by whole Team. Best part is It always feels fresh . Not to mention, the Ending is Strong and Realistic.

    Adventure, Comradeship, Not giving up, and sorting it out - great attitude Lessons for young people.

    Ted And Susan Late Teen siblings, visiting their working parents at Kenya take up an abandoned Cheetah cub along with their new loyal friend and highly intelligent tribal boy Moroggo. As the summer comes to a close ,an unpredictable turn of events and the Free spirited three kids create a story of adventure, Comradeship ,thrill and courage.

    Great film for the whole family!

    "Cheetah" is a treasure of a family film. It is very memorable, and enjoyable throughout. The acting is good, as the young cast of stars shine. The scenery is amazing, and the premise is a unique, original idea. I'm surprised this film hasn't received more attention, as it is truly one of the greatest family films ever. Disney does a superb job here with "Cheetah"...people of all ages will enjoy this film.

    I wouldn't say I particularly enjoyed it, but

    If Ace Ventura was family friendly and without Jim Carrey.

    'Cheetah' is actually alright, in truth. I wouldn't say I particularly enjoyed it, but it's a harmless 83 minutes which fills a gap if you need it to. The locations and animal stuff are decent.

    The premise isn't anything you'll remember as it isn't fresh, original or majorly interesting to be honest. As for the cast, they are serviceable. I like Lucy Deakins (Susan), Collin Mothupi (Morogo) and Keith Coogan (Ted); the latter is basically Tommy Kirk, Walt Disney himself would approve of that casting I'm sure! The adult actors are actually the weakest cast members.

    Not much more to note. Forgettable sure, but it's a quick watch and not irritating or anything like that. Lastly, who knew this used "Hakuna matata" before that entirely unknown film from 1994, eh?

    Hakuna Mahtata

    Why does Disney always make movies about kids befriending animals and saving them from poachers? There are just too many to count. In spite of that, this is a good children's movie.

    Two kids, Ted (Kieth Coogan) and Susan (Lucy Deakins), are living in Kenya with their parents who are scientists. Boredom overtakes these city kids until they adopt a cheetah and raise. Soon, however, they must release it into the wild, due to the obvious difficulties of raising an adult cheetah and the necessity of having it live outside of the captive. Except, their cheetah is taken up by those damn poachers. So, the kids and their parents, fight against the armed poachers to get it back.

    This movie is quite similar to a "A Far Off Place" which was released a few years later, starring Reece Witherspoon and Ethan Embry. If you enjoy "Cheetah," you'll likely enjoy that one as well. These were pretty decent kids movies and ones that provide a gorgeous view of Sub Sahara Africa.
