L'enfant lion (1993)

aka

Sirga (undefined) / Argentina
Sirga - Die Löwin Germany
The Lion Child International (festival title) (English title)




Two African children, brother and sister, are enslaved and sold to a desert prince who holds them captive in his walled palace. The boy uses his special rapport with the animal kingdom to engineer their escape.

Schmaltzy, but wonderfully produced and photographed tale with some amazing child - wild animal scenes.
