Living Free, released in 1972, was a sequel to the highly acclaimed film Born Free. The movie follows Joy and her husband as they relocate Elsa's three mischievous cubs to a distant game preserve after the cubs cause trouble in nearby villages. Upon its release, Living Free met with mixed reviews; critics often compared it unfavorably to its predecessor, citing that it lacked the emotional depth and charm of the original. Although it had a modest box office performance and did not achieve the same level of fame, over time, Living Free has garnered appreciation among fans of classic wildlife films. Today, it is seen more as an underrated gem rather than a cult classic or dated relic, valued for its heartfelt portrayal of wildlife conservation themes despite its narrative shortcomings.
