Patrick Stewart narrates this semi-dramatised Disney wildlife documentary following the lives of two cat families living on opposite sides of a river in the Kenyan savannah. On one side a mother lioness is protecting her cub from a pride of lions from the north. On the other side, a single mother of five cheetah cubs is teaching her cubs how to survive in the wild, while protecting them from the dangers presented by hyenas and other wild animals. The US version is narrated by Samuel L. Jackson.
