I watched this at home on BluRay from my public library system. The picture and sound are just great, the documentary takes us into parts of the world most of us would never get to see otherwise. It focuses on the cycle of seasons and cycle of life of a panda bear and her growing cub, a young golden monkey who feels displaced by his baby sister, and a mother snow leopard struggling to raise her two cubs.The animals are anthropomorphized, that is the attribution of human traits, emotions, or intentions to non-human entities. The narration, done well by John Krasinski, tells us how the animals feel and what their priorities are.This sort of treatment is likely to appeal more to the younger viewers but most of it is done interestingly. The film clips show animals doing things and the narration story is made to seem like a script.Overall I found it enjoyable but probably a bit too long for what it needed to tells us.

God, this is just awful. While the photography is nice (if you like to watch an hour of wildlife moving in ultra slow motion) everything else about this ridiculous impersonation of the BBC is a real mess.All the animals have been given stupid names which are impossible to keep up with... Dim Dim, Bam Bam, Tip Tip, Bong Bong, Gob Gob... I lost count of the stupid names and who they were attached to. So will everyone else watching this rubbish. The Lost Boys is the name assigned to some made up monkey gang? For heaven's sake, give me a break!Also, there's quite a bit of misleading factual nonsense inserted to make the story more interesting. Apparently, a monkey who has been evicted from the family saves his sister from a bird and is welcomed back into the fold as a hero! This NEVER happens in real life. It's insulting to make this trash up simply to improve the 'feelgood factor'.The vocabulary and phraseology are way too advanced for a child to understand and the corny delivery is way to childlike for an adult to enjoy. How on earth this narration got past any kind of production meeting is just anybody's guess. After a few minutes of listening to this bilge, you'll want to punch the speaker in the face... or rip your ears off!Mute this nonsense or better still, simply avoid it.

Don't see the panda eating and sitting in the movie here is a tip go to the zoo!!There are great movies that came out this year like the Promise about the Armenian genocide and the Lego batman about batman,Gardiner of the Galaxy and more. This movie should not be compared to any movie.

Just in time for Earth Day 2017 comes a Disney Documentary called BORN IN CHINA. It's a majestic film shot in the mountains of China that shows the life cycle of a herd of elk, a family of rarely seen snow leopards, a mischievous two year old monkey and his family and a mother panda bear with her daughter. John Krasinsky, from the TV show The Office, narrrates the movie, which takes us deep into the wild in China and shows us places rarely seen by man.It is a beautiful movie that took four years to film. It shows the intimate lives of the animals involved. From a herd of migrating elk to a rarely seen (much less shot on film) mother snow leopard the movie takes us up close in the life cycle of these rare and exotic creatures. The movie does a great job in the story telling in this real life nature story. It personalizes the families of animals (in a way that only Disney would do) by giving names to the animals such as Tao Tao the golden snub nosed monkey, Dawa the mother snow leopard and, the star of the movie Ya Ya the mother panda bear who's recently given birth to a baby panda bear. The cuteness in this film is off the chart!The visual experience of BORN IN CHINA is worth the price of admission. The nature and natural beauty of China, away from the big cities with it's huge population, traffic and pollution, is a feast for the eyes. I loved this movie! BORN IN CHINA is rated G and has a short run time of one hour and sixteen minutes. Take the family and experience this excellent Disney documentary. On my "Hollywood Popcorn Scale" BORN IN CHINA is a JUMBO! Hollywood Hernanadez
