A few weeks ago my mother was invited to the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration (DisneySMMC) Land and Sea event which I happened to attend with her. One of the highlights of that event was being able to see a preview of the movie Disney Nature's Born in China. While Born in China will be in theaters 21 April 2017, I have to say that it is a must see, because I even want to see it again.
Disney Nature's Born in China takes us on an adventure and follows three animal families, a Panda (YaYa and her newborn daughter, MeiMei), a Snow Leopard (Dawa and her cubs), and a mischievous Golden Snub Nosed Monkey (TaoTao). Their stories will not only warm your hearts, but will also bring tears to your eyes. I was especially moved by Dawa's story but I suggest you watch the movie for yourself because there'll be no spoilers here.
You get to see footage that has never previously been seen before. I have to tell you that this movie is a must see. You'll be rooting for each of the animals and they'll all hold a special place in your heart by the time you leave the movie theater.
Narrated by John Krasinski (“13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi,” NBC’s “The Office,” “Amazon’s “Jack Ryan”), Disneynature's new True Life Adventure film “Born In China” takes an epic journey into the wilds of China where few people have ever ventured. Following the stories of three animal families, the film transports audiences to some of the most extreme environments on Earth to witness some of the most intimate moments ever captured in a nature film. A doting panda bear mother guides her growing baby as she begins to explore and seek independence. A two-year-old golden monkey who feels displaced by his new baby sister joins up with a group of free-spirited outcasts. And a mother snow leopard—an elusive animal rarely caught on camera—faces the very real drama of raising her two cubs in one of the harshest and most unforgiving environments on the planet. Featuring stunning, never-before-seen imagery, the film navigates China’s vast terrain—from the frigid mountains to the heart of the bamboo forest—on the wings of red-crowned cranes, seamlessly tying the extraordinary tales together. Opening in U.S. theaters on Earth Day 2017, “Born in China” is directed by accomplished Chinese filmmaker Lu Chuan, and produced by Disney’s Roy Conli and renowned nature filmmakers Brian Leith and Phil Chapman.
