I saw this movie dubbed in German in 1984 and thought it was incredible how lions were used in the movie. The plot, though simple, is interesting which makes the movie enjoyable for a wide audience. The writers did a good job in keeping the humor light. Kudos go to the lead characters in the movie, supposedly some of whom got injured in the filming.

A mother (Tippi Hedren) and her children (Melanie Griffith..) go Africa to find again his husband (John Marshall) who is a warden of wild animals as lions, tigers , elephants ...There occurs strange and humorous events when the wild flock invade at home and they go after the family , up and down stairs and from a floor to another . This is a great family entertainment . It's a family film directed by Noel Marshall and starred by his then wife Tippi Hedren, also producer, and their true children . Since choice was made to use untrained animals and since for the most part they chose to do as they wished, it's only fair they share the writing and directing credits also starring as Robbie, Gary and Togar . Tippi Hedren co-wrote the book 'Cats of Shambala' about the making of this movie .Noel Marshall who married Tippi Hedren acquired a big number of big cats , lions and others animals from zoos, circuses and animal control officers especially for the making of this films . Furthermore , there appear uncredited secondaries as Will Hutchins and Zakes Moakae as two of the members of the committee . Colorful cinematography by the Dutch Jan De Bont, Paul Verhoveen's usual . Being first Hollywood movie for director-cameraman Jan de Bont . Enjoyable musical score by Minogue is performed by National Philharmonic Orchestra and Togar theme by Dominic Frontiere . Plus , touching songs written and sung by Robert Hawk. At the end the film tells various warnings , such as : Although some scenes appear to show animals being injured , they were never actually hurt. The lions that appeared to be killed are all back to playing with their friends but the animals that are being slaughtered in Africa are a reality and many species are near extinction . In the eleven years since began filming ¨Roar¨ in most areas of Africa , 90 per cent of the animals have been killed. These are thinking , feeling beings who need your help to survive. Something must be done and there is much you can do , as contribute to one of the many effective wildlife organizations . Show your disgust with anymore who buys or owns furs of ivory. If at all possible , plan a trip to an African country with a good conservation record. The preservation of Africa's precious wildlife heritage is the responsibility of the whole world.
