African CatsQuote:
African Cats is an upcoming nature documentary film directed by Keith Scholey and Alastair Fothergill about several lions and cheetahs trying to survive on the African savanna. The film is the third release by Disneynature, following Oceans, and it is set to arrive in theaters on Earth Day, April 22, 2011. The film is narrated by Samuel L. Jackson and features the song "The World I Knew" by Season Six American Idol winner Jordin Sparks, making her feature film debut. A portion of the proceeds for the film are being donated to the African Wildlife Foundation and their effort to preserve Kenya's Amboseli Wildlife Corridor. The film's initiative with the African Wildlife Foundation is named "See African Cats, Save the Savanna," and as of April 12, 2011, advance ticket sales have translated into 9,500 acres of land saved in Kenya.
