This is a perfectly nice nature documentary that deserves its theatrical showcase, and that's really all there is to say.

As breathtaking as the imagery is...the script...is a mess of...goop. Granted, the narration is aimed at a young audience, and part of the pleasure in watching animals in the wild comes from observing the similarities and differences between them and us.

John Krasinski narrates, and though he doesn't achieve that mix of gravitas and cheeky wit [of] Sir David Attenborough ... his vocal stylings are perfectly homey and serviceable for the task of guiding us through the lives of these special animals.

While John Krasinski's jokey narration is filled with cringe-inducing clangers, the cuteness goes through the roof every time the mother panda and her tumbling tot take to the screen.
