Looks like a movie for the kids, with no violent scenes shown and an unbelievable friendship between two wild animals - a lion and a wolf - who were brought up together and became best friends. Until you read the end credits and find that the scenes with the lion and wolf working together were not just clever camera work and VFX footages but the real bonding.
If anything, the lion and the wolf were better performers in front of the camera than the actors. But then they do not need to worry about their makeup or hair style! The story is not just about the friendship between the lion and the wolf but between them and their human friend and carer. I am glad that finally people do realise that animals brought up tame by humans are not wild beasts to be set free in the wild and fend for themselves again. They would be like lost pets and looking for their human Mum, and would only fall prey to poachers whom they would trust as they had learned to trust humans.
One cannot help but shed a tear of happiness for the two animals at the end of the story for they are really best friends on screen and in real life too! (unlike some actors, lol) They now live happily ever after together, in a protected Canadian wild life sanctuary.
