And it's not just there, there's portions afterwards were we have comedy bits going on after we just had that cub's dad get shot down we are trying comedy now? And then the tone snaps back to serious with something the mom leopard says. Yeah I'm sure the kids watching this were terrified and heartbroken. We have that dismal dark opening with Tara Strong voicing a sad leopard cub and then we smack into a family friendly sing song with his dad voiced by Cary Elwes and Mom voiced by Vanessa Williams which then leads into a standoff scene with the Indian deforestation squad and dad leopard (Sultan I think was his name) getting shot to death with a shotgun. Part of the problem with this movie is severe mood whiplash throughout.
It takes balls though for a kids movie like this to open on a crying leopard cub state that his father has been killed and he might lose his home soon. The cast is really actually pretty star studded including even Tom Kenny and Tara Strong voicing characters in this. The animation and songs are pretty mediocre and the voice acting only adequate to good for the most part. I can tell this movie was sponsored by Peta. Bear with me this review will be rather long and rambling because there's just so much to unpack from this movie:
