despite what others are saying, I actually loved the narrator's accent. Not everyone has to sound like David Attenborough.

I watched walkin with dinosaurs as a child, didn't mind the adult narration, this talks down a little too much maybe

[@dubbzy92]

Lol when the cub started playing with the dad, reminded me of Simba and Mufasa

This is adorable! I love the cute little “roars” lion cubs do, it’s like little toddlers trying to have a “serious adult” conversation. 😂🤣

[@MsTribecaNY]

African lion cub = African voice over. Makes sense to me. Also, it's a kid's show.

[@randomvideos5820]

Lol

Exactly ! It makes senses and suits the story very well.

I just love, love love lions and the cubs are so adorable. thanks J. im gonna watch this again, this is my down time.

[@dejaypage1575]

Lion's roars are a lot deeper than one would think :P More akin to...well, I would guess thunder than a more rightious roar from the likes of, say, a Tiger.

I'm surprised there are people who didn't like this! I think it's a great idea to hear from the animals perspective. I wouldn't want it all the time, but it's a fun change. The narrator did such a great job capturing the adorable cubs perspective. This really is unbearably cute 💖

+Rizky Bayu Dwinanda You find 'baba' for Dad in a lot of widely scattered languages: Arabic as you say but also Swahili, Bengali, Mandarin, even Albanian.

Baba is the word for father in many Bantu languages, even those spoken further inland than Arab influence ever extended. I'm sure that's the case for many African language groups too not just Bantu.

[@user-iq8ei9go3g]

In Chinese, the pronunciation of "Dad" is also "Baba".........
