Jungle Cat
Directed by James Algar
Produced by Walt Disney Productions
A tender nature documentary that follows jaguar families through the South American jungle with warmth and visual beauty, emphasizing intimate character development over clinical observation.
This final True-Life Adventure would also appear to be one of the best, as we go into the South American jungle to observe the jaguar. Jungle Cat is more intimate than its kin, allowing individual animal characters to be developed. Central to the cast is a pair of jaguars (one ebony), whose fighting leads to love and, not long after, two babies (one resembling each parent).
