Leonard Maltin calls "The African Lion" the best of Disney's True-Life Adventures, but, after having seen a few of them lately, I do not agree. If anything, it proves that the African lion is just too damn lazy to center an entire movie around, so the filmmakers make it just one part in the gallery of animals they examine. The first half is too leisurely, even ponderous, but the second does have some amazing footage and exciting action. Perhaps none more impressive than the "locust blizzard" at the end. **1/2 out of 4.
