Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Born Free is a bona fide family classic. The tale of how Kenya game warden George Adamson and his wife Joy (on whose book the film is based, with Virginia McKenna and Bill Travers in the principal roles) adopted and raised three orphaned lion cubs, taking a particular shine to the one they call Elsa before helping her return to the wild, is familiar by now; so's John Barry's Oscar-winning title song. And while the movie has its flaws (it contains references to 'Bwana George' and such that would be considered frightfully un-PC nowadays), the animal footage, especially that of the lions in their various stages of development, is extraordinary and timelessly entertaining. DVD bonus features are limited to theatrical trailers, but the digitally remastered film can be viewed in both widescreen and full screen. A keeper. --Sam Graham

We watched this superb movie with our children 35 years back and now are injoying it again with our grandchildren. In a time of too many action movies and movies with too much violance this film is an excellent way to bring some quiet into the home

Rating: - movie review
This was a movie that I had seen with my mother years ago, and that I had never seen and always wanted to..it was absolutely awesome, and affected both my wife and myself profoundly. This is a timeless movie that will always have the power to move people in ways that will reach far into the soul. I ended up doing quite a bit of research into animal rights organizations, and also ordered the movie Christian 'the lion at Worlds End' another movie involving Virgina McKenna and Bill Travers, although more peripherally than Born Free, and more about the two men that 'adopted' Christian after buying him in Harrods and then wanted to return him to the wild and enlisted the Travers couples' help. Also an incredible true story and we were very glad that the money spent on both movies goes towards helping these wonderful animals.
Rating: - Born Free.
Born Free This movie was great when it was in the theatres and it is great on DVD. A good print well preserved and the sound intact. In widescreen it is great so you can experience the vastness of the landscape.
The story is great. It is a pleasure to watch over and over. They should make more movies like this one.
