Review :

Great Animal Film

The last time I saw this movie, I was about 8 or 9 (I'm now 21), so I don't remember a whole lot. However, this was one of my favorite movies as a kid. Much like The Bear and the upcoming The Brothers, this movie tells an animal's story from it's own point of view, namely a black leopard living in Sri Lanka. The cinematography is beautiful, capturing the forests and ancient temples of Sri Lanka through which Chandar wanders, and depicts numerous animals and people who play a part in the cat's life. As I mentioned before, I don't remember very much from this movie, other than a few encounters Chandar has, such as being captured by for use in a circus and being harassed by monkeys at some temple ruins. But I do remember how much I use to enjoy this movie. Had I not lost my copy (my parents taped it off television at some point in the early '80s) a long time ago, I would probably have seen it many more times. At any rate, I recommend this movie to anyone who loves animals, especially kids, and anyone who loved The Bear (which I did as well), or anyone interested in the culture of southern India and Sri Lanka. A great movie all around. I'm surprised that I seem to be the first person at IMDb to ever comment on it.
