Growing up in the Amazon rainforest gave Autumn the rarest of friendships -- a lost jaguar cub she discovers named Hope. When a tragic event forces Autumn to leave Hope for the unknowns of New York City, she dreams for years of going back to the rainforest and her friend. Aged 14, and having grown accustomed to city life, Autumn discovers her childhood village is under threat from animal traffickers and decides she must return to the Amazon to her beloved jaguar. Anja (Emily Bett Rickards) -- Autumn's endearingly clumsy biology teacher -- unsuccessfully tries to dissuade her from this reckless plan. Joined by Anja, Autumn embarks on a journey to reunite with Hope and save her from those who seek to destroy the rainforest and its wildlife.

Culture Mix

Autumn and the Black Jaguar presents itself as a family-friendly movie, but this hokey and terrible drama irresponsibly downplays how dangerous it is for untrained humans to interact with large, predatory wild animals as cuddly pets.

Cinemalogue

Youngsters might gravitate to Autumn’s determined resilience. But while the lush tropical scenery makes the film easy on the eyes, the lack of subtlety and surprise makes it taxing on the brain.

Autumn and the Black Jaguar is such an earnest, well-intentioned movie that I almost feel like a bully for telling you it’s not very good.

Rated: 1.5/4

Film Obsessive

When the important tipping points arrive in Autumn and the Black Jaguar, the wrong voice attempts to perform the pontificating and persuasion in the movie’s biggest moments.

Rated: 2/5

Film Threat

There isn’t a subtle bone in its body, and some of the acting choices are poor, but it’s pleasant enough.

Rated: 6/10
