Spiritual remake of Mia i bijeli lav (2018), a previous Gilles de Maistre's movie

Plot

After years in New York City, 14-year-old Autumn returns to the Amazon rainforest to save her childhood village and beloved jaguar friend.. Teenager Autumn Edison (Lumi Pollack) lives in New York City with her father. They left their home in the Amazon jungle and her tribe after the murder of her activist mother 8 years earlier.

Her father had been hiding letters from her tribal relatives

Loggers, poachers, and others have been destroying the land all around them. As a child, Autumn had befriended a jaguar which she named Hope. There is only one jaguar left in the area which is being hunted endlessly.

As for the unreal characters, I am more put off by the Disney princess attempt

Autumn fears that it's Hope and runs away from home in a desperate attempt to save her friend. She is followed by her agoraphobic science teacher Anja (Emily Bett Rickards) who is trying to protect her student despite being completely hapless herself.This reminds me a lot of those old style Disney movies with unreal characters, unreal situations, and unreal animals. At least, this has its heart in the right place and some of the jungle locations are amazing.

She's meant for comedic relief

It's ridiculous for them to be floating down the river like a cartoon movie. I actually have no problem with Anja. The Amazon situation is a bit simplistic to say the least.

The film is nice and enjoyable, but the fakeness overwhelms the better aspects
