| Common Sense MediaSandie Angulo ChenAdorable real pandas but otherwise sappy animal adventure. |
| VarietyDaniel M. KimmelHarmless family fare might be deemed politically correct for its concern for endangered species, but whitewashing of Chinese regime will strike adults... as somewhat bizarre. |

| User ReviewJer MIn 1966, Andy Dufresne escaped from Shawshank prison. All they found of him was a muddy set of prison clothes, a bar of soap, and an old rock hammer, damn near worn down to the nub. I remember thinking it would take a man six hundred years to tunnel through the wall with it. Old Andy did it in less than twenty. Oh, Andy loved geology. I imagine it appealed to his meticulous nature. An ice age here, million years of mountain building there. Geology is the study of pressure and time. That's all it takes really, pressure, and time. That, and a big goddamn poster. Like I said, in prison a man will do most anything to keep his mind occupied. Turns out Andy's favorite hobby was totin' his wall out into the exercise yard, a handful at a time. I guess after Tommy was killed, Andy decided he'd been here just about long enough. Andy did like he was told, buffed those shoes to a high mirror shine. The guards simply didn't notice. Neither did I... I mean, seriously, how often do you really look at a mans shoes? Andy crawled to freedom through five hundred yards of shit smelling foulness I can't even imagine, or maybe I just don't want to. Five hundred yards... that's the length of five football fields, just shy of half a mile. |
| User ReviewAlyssa EMy favorite movie ever. Expecially since it has pandas in it. |
| User ReviewCarol HHeartwarming story of a child who arrives on his fathers doorstep expecting to hate everything about his fathers work but once he is forced to care for the panda's his father has been trying to protect, learns a lesson about the importance of standing up for something. |
| User ReviewJohn BI haven't seen it since I was a kid, so it may not be great from an adult standpoint. As a kid I checked this movie out from the library over and over again and loved it every time. :) |

| User ReviewJulie AI 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,and this film has heart (and a little humor), and I think films like this one would enlists peoples' sympathies for the Giant Panda population. |
