That they spend most of this journey engaging in dreary infighting and occasionally singing equally dreary songs would make the film unappetizing even if it didn’t so brazenly borrow from “The Lion King,” “The Jungle Book” and others.Īn adorable lion cub - oh, sorry it’s a leopard - who communes with his dead father (who lost his life saving the cub) is at the center of the story. The beasts decide to hike to New Delhi to try to get their grievances heard.
The film, made in India but overdubbed in English for the American release, follows a group of animals whose forest home is being threatened by callous developers. What kind of lesson is that for our young people? It’s that it shamelessly rips off much better animated movies. The worst thing about the animated film “Delhi Safari” isn’t that it’s awful.
