Disneynature’s Born in China + Fun Facts about Animals

by Jennifer 1 Comment

Each year Disneynature releases a new documentary about animals in their natural habitat. This year, Disneynature’s Born in China focuses on three animal families; pandas, golden monkeys, and snow leopards. I’ve had the opportunity to see the film twice, and I can’t say enough good things about this true life adventure film! Born in China is a family friendly documentary that invites you into the world of China’s most precious animals.

Moviegoers who see Disneynature’s new True Life Adventure film “Born in China” during its opening week (April 21-27, 2017) will benefit the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). Based on opening-week attendance, Disneynature, via the Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund, will make a contribution to the WWF to help protect wild pandas and snow leopards in China. How easy is that? Just go see an amazing film, and you’ll help animals in need!
