Roar is a 1981 film starring Tippi Hedren and Noel Marshall. In addition to starring in the film, Marshall also directed and wrote the film, producing it with entirely with his then-wife, Tippi.

Tippi’s real-life daughter Melanie Griffith plays her on-screen daughter, also named Melanie. Noel’s real-life sons John and Jerry also starred in the film.

On IMDb it’s defined “the most expensive home movie ever made”. The film cost $17 million and made only $2 million worldwide.

Hedren co-wrote the book Cats of Shambala (1985), about her experience of filming Roar.

The making of ROAR spanned a period of more than 5 years. It involved the remarkable talents of a crew of more than 100 dedicated men and women as well as the participation of more than 110 untrained lions, tigers, leopards and cheetahs.

Add to that two elephants, twelve flamingos and eight ostriches… and the end product is nothing less than amazing.

Needless to say, a production of this sort places special demands on both cast and crew. Use the links on this page to learn about this incredible film and about the amazing people who made ROAR possible.

Learn about the extraordinary talents of actress Tippi Hedren, about her Academy Award winning daughter and co-star Melanie Griffith, and about award-winning cinematographer Jan De Bont, whose career in the United States began right here, on the set of ROAR.

Tippi Hedren still takes care of them, along with their offspring and many newcomers, at the Shambala Preserve in Acton, California. Tippi describes Shambala as a meeting place of peace and harmony for all beings, animal and human.

To sustain the high cost of providing a home for these animals, Tippi continues to raise funds through the Roar Foundation.

Cheetah Conservation Botswana (CCB)

The project was formed in 2003 to address the threat to the nation’s cheetah population. The major challenge for the project, funded by grant aid and donor support, is one of improving community perceptions towards predators and ensuring that retaliatory killings do not continue to threaten cheetah numbers, while, at the same time, supporting and protecting rural community welfare. Your generous support is already helping us to achieve that.

Only by working together with communities who live side-by-side with predators, with initiatives tailored to meet their needs and priorities, do we hope to foster the attitudes of coexistence that will see cheetahs remain as an essential component in this remarkable ecosystem and as a flagship species for the rich biodiversity of Botswana.

This facility was created to take care of animals that had been abandoned by their mothers.
These three lions, Alex (15 months), Jacob (9 months), and Wabos (7 months) would have been killed if not adopted.
They were playful but we had to be very careful with Alex, never to turn our backs to him.
We could pick up Wabos and cuddle and play with him.
The strangest thing was Jacob’s attitude toward me. Anywhere I went, he followed.
If I kneeled down, he would lay down under my legs. I had to be very careful not to step on him.
Others in the group began to laugh at me, wondering whether I had some food in my pockets to entice Jacob.

Mpumalanga, S. Africa….the airport – which IS commercial – in Kruger National Game Preserve. Normally, National Parks don’t have their own commercial airports (duh); however, Kruger is over 90,000 sq miles. ALL of the materials used in its construction are 100% natural, such as: wood, thatching, stone, etc. Even the nails are wood pegs. Glass is the only exception; the runway is concrete because of international law. Not only is it 100% natural; it was NEVER tested on the bajillions of animals within miles of it — so it’s safe to fly into OR cunsume raw.

To pyromaniac-wannabees, like me, it’s a sensational bonfire waiting to happen.
WISELY: SMOKING ***IS*** ALLOWED. Native “logic” at its best.
