"Letโ€™s face it, โ€œPacoโ€ 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 itโ€™s soon to be lion fodder it falls to โ€œPacoโ€ to race to the rescue and prove that maybe heโ€™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 itโ€™s neck for that added Bambi factor and if you are an animal lover then youโ€™ll enjoy this."
