Born in China was a mixed bag – some spectacular footage only partially spoiled by the editing and narration Disney imposed upon it. This film was not highly informative, and most of the narration felt like it was projecting human emotions onto the animal “characters”, which I found very irritating.
The team captured some beautiful and fascinating nature scenes. The detail into which the film delved into the social life of the monkeys was interesting and new. There were lots of baby animal scenes and who doesn’t love baby animals?
What really sets this film apart is how much footage they got of the snow leopards. If you didn’t know, snow leopards are very rare and notoriously difficult to photograph, let alone film. I’d say this movie is worth checking out just for the snow leopard footage alone. With a significant portion of the film covering snow leopards, one of nature’s most capable and majestic hunters, one would hope for some spectacular hunting footage! Disney omitted it, presumably as a concession to their target tot audience.
