About DisneyNature’s Born in China

Film screenings start at 12:00 pm. (1 hr., 19 min)

Journey into the wilds of China! Born In China follows the adventures of three animal families — the majestic panda, the savvy golden monkey, and the elusive snow leopard. Featuring stunning imagery, the film navigates the vast terrain—from the frigid mountains to the heart of the bamboo forest—on the wings of a red-crowned crane, showcasing remarkably intimate family moments captured on film for the first time ever.
