At a national park in Kenya, English game warden George Adamson and his wife, Joy, care for three orphaned lion cubs. After the two larger lions are shipped off to a zoo in the Netherlands, the smallest of the three, Elsa, stays with the couple. When Elsa is blamed for causing an elephant stampede in the nearby village, head warden John Kendall demands the young lion either be trained to survive in the wilds of the Serengeti or be sent to a zoo.

The last soundtrack to catch my ear was Hans Zimmerman's score to Interstellar. I've also been rediscovering John Barry's classic film scores, everything from Born Free to James Bond movies -- not exactly up to the minute, but quality lasts!
Live kids movies used to be pretty savage too. I showed my young kids Born Free and Old Yeller.
Well, in the first, lions eat some people in the first scene. In the second movie, the wild pigs attack is terrifying. Never mind the rabid animals.
They didn't want to see my recommendations after those two.
