Great Film overall
Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
A nice adventure in a chinese countryside,with breathtaking landscape,rivers and lakes absolutelly in clean water,amazing Panda's cub,but the plot and the dialogues are boring and don't make sense,a lot of standard clichés,childish behavior,just for the kids!!!a little of imagination shall be better!!Resume:First watch: 1998 / How many: 2 / Source: TV-DVD / Rating: 6
I do remember 11 years ago (or so I don't know) seeing the trailer for this film, and I wanted to see at theaters - but I didn't get a chance. But when it came out on video, I got it as a Valentine's Day gift from my Mom. When I watched it, I really loved it; though I can remember I had only watched it a couple of times long ago - until now that is.The film starts when 10-year-old Ryan Tyler goes to China during his spring break to visit his zoologist dad Michael, who has been working on a project to rescue the dwindling panda population. But there was poacher trouble and Ryan, along with young assistant/translator Ling decide to rescue an adorable panda cub, which has been "animal-napped" and they must return him to its mother, whom Dr. Tyler rescued from a trap and brought back to the reserve to care for. Braving hardships and facing unexpected adventures, the two youngsters learn to love and respect for pandas as they gain maturity and tolerance for each other of course.Like I said (a million times), I was shocked by the negative reviews/ratings I would see on the web, I mean I love films about human/animal relations; this film has heart and a little humor. And I think films like this one would enlists peoples' sympathies for the Giant Panda population.
Lighten up! This movie IS FOR KIDS! My 9 year old daughter and her Chinese mom really enjoyed this. The admittedly fake storyline (which could have been stolen from any of about nine million family wildlife movies) is overcome by the sheer personality of the panda cub and the terrific scenery. There are very few movies that depict either pandas or the beautiful Chinese panda reserves. The movie also shows the American contribution to the preservation of the pandas; the Chinese government wasn't doing much at all until American naturalists got involved in the 70's.Kids will enjoy this and you crabby adults will survive it.
I am outraged that these poor panda bears were put through so much torture to make this movie. Fortunately, the evidence is caught on tape. What you are about to see done to these animals for the sake of entertainment may shock you! The bears are shot at, dragged off of a bridge, tossed over a waterfall, dangled over a cliff, and virtually starved to death. The makers of this film as well as anyone who watches it should be ashamed of this dangerous and gratuitous exploitation of such poor helpless creatures. I have already alerted my congressman, Greenpeace, Ralph Nader and my Mommy. Hopefully a follow-up movie can be made showing the capture and incarceration of the producers...what? The bears are actually robots? Oops....
