Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: VERY GOOD (cg) "There are many less enjoyable ways to spend 40 minutes than gawking at orangutans and elephants that, having been orphaned by poachers, get trained to reenter their wild habitats." (Read the full review...) 102 words, 04/08/11
Neil Genzlinger, New York Times: GOOD "...pretty cool to look at.... makes good use of Imax and 3-D technology... Some animal parts, it turns out, are perfectly suited to 3-D, none more so than an elephant's trunk." (Read the full review...) 251 words, 04/08/11 Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News: GOOD (NOT GREAT) (cg) "Narrator Morgan Freeman manages to be both soothing and somber, so it's not until the credits roll that we realize how much more we want to know." (Read the full review...) 95 words, 04/08/11 Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times: VERY GOOD "...captivating... proves a rich and memorable journey.... never succumbs to cute for cute's sake. Its moments of 'aah' -- as well as awe -- feel wonderfully authentic." (Read the full review...) 325 words, 04/08/11 Lou Lumenick, New York Post: VERY GOOD (cg) "Morgan Freeman narrates the fascinating footage..." (Read the full review...) 161 words, 04/08/11 Nell Minow, Chicago Sun-Times: VERY GOOD (cg) "...everything a family movie should be: touching, funny and inspiring." (Read the full review...) 687 words, 04/08/11 Nick Schager, Village Voice/LA Weekly: FAIR "...a meager collection of adorable imagery and sentimental messages about love, selflessness, surrogate parent-child bonds, and the similarities between humans and beasts." (Read the full review...) 198 words, 04/06/11 Linda Barnard, Toronto Star: OUTSTANDING (cg) "...both grand spectacle and intimate tale.... when Morgan Freeman explains the adults are showing the babies that they accept and love them, prepare to reach for the tissues." (Read the full review...) 572 words, 04/08/11 Jennie Punter, Toronto Globe & Mail: VERY GOOD (cg) "...while the visuals aren't nearly as eye-popping as those of the underwater movies, the film is more inspiring thanks to its human heroines." (Read the full review...) 454 words, 04/08/11 Andrew Dowler, Toronto Now: EXCELLENT (cg) "...kid-friendly and light in tone.... Flawless and unobtrusive 3-D work make the experience more vivid." (Read the full review...) 166 words, 04/07/11
Stephanie Merry, Washington Post: GOOD (NOT GREAT) (cg) "While there's an important story here, the main attraction is the general adorableness." (Read the full review...) 340 words, 04/08/11 Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: VERY GOOD (cg) "Cute... best taken as the perfect film to transition your kids from animation to live action fare - short, sweet, and educational." (Read the full review...) 389 words, 04/08/11 Janice Page, Boston Globe: GOOD (NOT GREAT) (cg) "...a G-rated nature documentary so cuddly and soft it's practically a sleeping bag.... They eat, they bathe, they play. Our hearts melt." (Read the full review...) 377 words, 04/08/11 Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle: VERY GOOD (cg) "...wholesome and educational, teaches right from wrong, and brings up some important environmental issues." (Read the full review...) 381 words, 04/08/11 Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch: VERY GOOD (cg) "...a good nature film -- and a technical achievement.... A longer movie might tell us how the humans feel about their work." (Read the full review...) 228 words, 04/08/11 Tom Long, Detroit News: VERY GOOD (cg) "There's nothing quite as cute as watching an orangutan take a bath." (Read the full review...) 368 words, 04/08/11
Nick Schager, Village Voice/LA Weekly: FAIR "...a meager collection of adorable imagery and sentimental messages about love, selflessness, surrogate parent-child bonds, and the similarities between humans and beasts." (Read the full review...) 198 words, 04/06/11 Tom Meek, Boston Phoenix: GOOD (NOT GREAT) (cg) "...a short, painless family pleaser... the spectacle of 3D and the narration of Morgan Freeman make clear the beauty of what is being lost." (Read the full review...) 143 words, 04/07/11 Glenn Heath Jr., Slant: VERY GOOD (cg) "...transcends its genre... Despite its short duration, there's a lifetime of human compassion and the complexity of natural selection working in glorious harmony, one step at a time." (Read the full review...) 654 words, 04/03/11 Andrew Dowler, Toronto Now: EXCELLENT (cg) "...kid-friendly and light in tone.... Flawless and unobtrusive 3-D work make the experience more vivid." (Read the full review...) 166 words, 04/07/11

Peter Debruge, Daily Variety: VERY GOOD "...sticks faithfully to the giantscreen brand's impress-and-educate formula, playful narration from Morgan Freeman and ooh-aah 3D Imax lensing..."
