Movies like Cheetah

Free Willy is an emotional story about a young boy who befriends a captive orca whale and devises a plan to set it free. The powerful bond between child and animal, combined with a fight for the creature's freedom, will appeal to those moved by Cheetah's story.

Harry and the Hendersons is a family comedy about the Hendersons who hit a Sasquatch with their car, and then take it home. While more humorous than Cheetah, it similarly explores the interactions between humans and extraordinary wildlife.

Fly Away Home is an inspiring film that chronicles a girl's quest to lead a flock of orphaned geese south by flying an ultralight airplane. The film's central theme of aiding animals in a human-dominated world will resonate with audiences who enjoyed Cheetah.

Two Brothers is a film about twin tiger cubs who are separated and taken into captivity, only to be reunited later in life. Like Cheetah, the movie deals with the themes of animal bonding and the human impact on wildlife.
