Earth Day goes to the Cats

I so wanna go see African Cats that opens on Earth Day (4-22) this year. I am such a lover of the Lion.  It is my sign and gosh I have always been drawn to the majestic pose the Lion has.

Of course Denea loves the Panther.  Dear Hubby the Tiger.  Seems we are all cat people in one way or the other. “African Cats” features the real-life love, humor and determination of the kings of the African savanna: Mara, an endearing lion cub who strives to grow up with her mother’s strength, spirit and wisdom; Sita, a fearless cheetah and single mother of five mischievous newborns; and Fang, a proud leader of the pride who must defend his family from a rival lion. 

You can download fun sheets for the kids too.  Just pop on over with this link.  For EARTH, they held the program “But a Ticket, Plant a Tree” which led to the planting of 2.7 million trees in Brazil ’s Atlantic Forest . Last year for OCEANS, the program was “See Oceans, Save Oceans” which helped establish 40,000 acres of marine protected area in The Bahamas, preserving essential coral reefs. Pretty great, right?  During the film’s opening week (April 22-28), a portion of the proceeds from that week’s ticket sales will be donated to the African Wildlife Foundation through the Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund to protect the Amboseli Wildlife Corridor, a passage between the Amboseli, Tsavo West and Chyulu Hills National Parks that is frequently used by lions, cheetahs, elephants, zebras, giraffes and a host of other animals in the African savanna.
