Pride
Lions are the stars of this groundbreaking, live action family film set against the spectacular natural stage of East Africa. It combines footage of real lions with cutting-edge animation techniques that allow the lions to talk. A dramatic and humorous script by Simon Nye brings the adventures of young lioness Suki and her brother, Linus, vividly to life. This is an emotional, high-impact drama set in the lion's world and based on real lion behaviour. Filmed in High Definition and using bouldercam technology as pioneered in Lion's - Spy in the Den, the film features wild lions in the Serengeti, where the story is set, as well as habituated lions. Final touches, such as facial expressions and mouth movements, are added using sophisticated computer generated imagery.
