There are many gorgeous shots and cute and compelling moments of the animals, it is in essence exactly what you would expect. John Krasinski's narration is somewhat distracting as it seems a little out of place but its functional. Because it's Disney the film doesn't really attempt to go below the surface, everything is mostly pleasant and kid-friendly. Good but does not distinguish itself against well produced NatGeo shows.
Pleasant and unchallenging.
Rent It.
A rebuttal from Nicole:
ReplyDelete"Those sweeping aerials are what made the movie a must see in theaters! Born in China deals with life, death and rebirth. The fact that we give these animals the weight of personalities and names, makes them relate-able to us and ties the gap between us vs. nature. It shows that the wants and needs of animals are universal and like ours. Yes the formula might be old, but it used over and over again for a reason. It works and mimics the life cycle. Hard disagree with that review baby. I gotta give it a see it."
