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.

    Have not received the DVD yet. DVD Legacy SUCKS. It’s been a month since I ordered the video. I’m ordering from Barnes & Noble next or Borders. I want my money back.

    I had not seen this movie for many years, so watching it now it seemed a little bit dated. It still holds your attention and carries a timeless message. A great family movie with nice wildlife footage. I thought the DVD transfer was very good, but no extras was a let down.

    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.
