Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Autumn and the Black Jaguar (2024)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Giles de Maistre's film grew out of a sequel he refused to make: after Mia and the White Lion, a follow-up was out of the question because the girl-and-lion relationship ended with filming. He reused the same team to highlight Amazon deforestation and animal trafficking instead.
