African Cats portrays the true-to-life love, humor, and determination of the majestic rulers of the savanna in a film that is both entertaining and educational. Mara, an endearing lion cub who strives to grow up with her mother's strength, spirit, and wisdom; Sita, a fearless cheetah and single mother of five mischievous newborns; and Fang, a proud leader of the pride who must defend his family from a once banished lion are among the characters in the story.
