Directed by Christopher Cain (Pure Country) has a made entertaining action film for the family mixed with a nice sense of humor. Rick Baker of Cinovation Studios creates the animatronic pandas that are intermittenly with actual animals. Cinematography by Jack N.

Summary: Fabulous Family Film
Review: As the mother of a 3 year old daughter born in China and having visited China myself, I can say that we absolutely love this film! My daughter has watched it probably 20 times in the month and a half we've had it!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Some Beautiful Locations, but...
Review: I always try to keep an open mind about films, and always will. But, give me a break. I am reminded of when Tigger wrecked rabbits house, rabbit said, "Why oh why oh why!" I think his head hurt too. That pretty much sums it up. Every film, including this one, takes an effort. It's just that this has been done so many countless times, and I crave originality. Give me something new.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WONDERFUL MOVIE
Review: I too read the review written by D. Scott. I was appalled by it. What move did this gentelman view???!!!! This was a fabulous story filled with suspense, beauty, love and all that it can conquer. I am a teacher and have shown this movie to students ages 6-15 and their respective social studies teachers. EVERYONE LOVED IT!!! They learned a lot regarding endangered species and the power that dedication and love can hold in the end.

Summary: the Amazing Panda Adventure
Review: It's a plausible scenario. quite a touching story. PANDAS looked quite real. The movie's got beautiful scenery and music,true to that part of the world. It shows the dedication of a true scientist,though didn't mention that there are more perils in the animal's natual habitat. It stands out to be a great movie. Pandas, indeed are very rear & precious species of the world! I don't remember if it's mentioned that PANDAS are high on the endangered species list. They need human intenvention.

Summary: Wholesome Adventure with excitement and fun.
Review: Our kids love this video. It has great footage of Sichuan Province, China and has a storyline the kids enjoy. It's exciting, cute and leaves you feeling good. This is a video that Mom & Dad love every bit as much as the kids.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: This movie was okay
Review: The adventure was okay, but the story was very predictable. Plus the acting wasn't that good.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not Amazing
Review: The product of broken home, 10-year-old Ryan Tyler (Ryan Slater) takes a plane trip all by himself to China, where he hops on a tour bus and finds himself in the lush bamboo forests on an amazing adventure to rescue a baby panda taken by poachers. A mix of real and animatronic critters were used to portray the black and white marsupial. Very young children might enjoy it - others, seek your adventures elsewhere.

Summary: What makes a young persons adventure?
Review: They must fight their own battles. This means they will probably disobey adults. I'm sure no one has ever seen a teenager disobey an adult. That would not be realistic would it? I'm sure no one has ever seen a teenager put themselves in danger. Anyone that thinks teenagers don't disobey adults and put themselves in danger is living in a world I have not seen. I guess that clarifies what I think of the one reviewers bashing of this movie.

Now as for the movie, if you enjoy movies like "Alaska" or "Fly Away Home" where a family is put in a difficult situation and they are trying to save animals, you will probably enjoy this movie. Great acting, sets, music and scenery make this a wonderful family movie. Any film about saving animals is a plus in my book. Especially if they are in danger of extinction. If you feel there is a real issue with the teenage boy not following orders, what better time to discuss it with your teenagers than while you watch the movie together.
