Born in China Review and Blu-ray Giveaway

Born in China - Panda

We received a copy of the Disneynature Blu-ray Born in China to watch and review as well as give away. Opinions are 100% our own.

I have enjoyed the Disneynature movies. I’ve seen most of them and they are fun and educational. Yes, they are narrated to give the animals human emotions and this isn’t super hard-core science information. It is edutainment and at least a starting point for a larger discussion.

the movie follows a number of different animals in remote locations. I love the beauty of the Snow Leopard and so the story of a mother snow leopard and her two cubs was compelling, especially in how difficult things turned out for her and those cubs.

There was also a story about a snub-nose monkey, he was adorable and while it wasn’t as compelling a story as Monkey Kingdom, it was entertaining and the monkeys were very cute. I am concerned how my kids will react when one is snatched up by their natural predator, the goshawk.

The landscape is beautiful and the bonus features on the blu-ray give more insight into how the film was made and what challenges the filmmakers had to contend with. It is another lovely movie by Disneynature that should stimulate interest in China and its animal residents.

And yes, there is a story about pandas, too.

I have a copy of the movie to give away. You may enter through the rafflecopter app below.

John Krasinski is the narrator of Disneynature’s BORN IN CHINA

I just learned that John Krasinski will be the narrator of the upcoming Disneynature film, BORN in CHINA. This looks like a really beautiful film. I’m really interested in the Snow Leopard. We used to have one at our zoo and I loved getting a chance to photograph it whenever I visited. Of course, Pandas are quite cute, too.

Here is what John Krasinski had to say about being the narrator of BORN in CHINA. After that take a look at the trailer and there is a downloadable activity packet.

“I’ve been a huge fan of the Disneynature films for a really long time,” said Krasinski. “I think I’ve seen them all a couple times and to be asked to be a part of something that I feel is not only so beautiful and such great storytelling, but is so important, I was honored to be a part of it. To find this unbelievable landscape that was far beyond the cities and the bustling crowds of the China that I thought I knew was just fascinating.”
