Let’s face it, “Paco” is pretty useless as a lion hunter. In fact, he is so hopeless that his rancher pals abandon him and he has to set off to fend for himself. This involves a relatively easy swim across the border to Texas where he luckily finds a new home where instead of a lion, he finds a recently orphaned fawn. His new owner takes that home with them to rear until it, too, can look after itself - but when it escapes and looks like it’s soon to be lion fodder it falls to “Paco” to race to the rescue and prove that maybe he’s not so hopeless after all. This is all fairly cheerful Disney fayre with some carefully edited scenography to give it just a slight hint of lion-taming menace as it skips along. The fawn even has a bell round it’s neck for that added Bambi factor and if you are an animal lover then you’ll enjoy this.
