At first glance, you might fool yourself into thinking this is a Disney nature doc about cute little pandas cavorting in the Chinese wilderness. After all, Kristen Bell (Princess Anna from "Frozen") does the narration! But this IMAX production is less sentimental in its depiction of these cuddly creatures than what you might find in the Mouse House's "Born in China," which hit the multiplexes the year before. The production is, as with most things IMAX, breathtakingly beautiful to look at, with photography that puts the viewer right in the scene. If you are a fan of nature documentaries like the BBC "Planet Earth" series, you won't be disappointed by this terrific addition to the genre.

This is where 4K/UHD images of nature can really shine! Definition is clear and sharp with excellent black levels providing ample texture and detail. The Dolby Atmos audio mix is active across all channels, providing a realistic depiction of the sounds one would hear in nature, while narration is anchored solidly to the front, center channel. This is an excellent way to help educate children and raise ecological awareness.

This was so awesome to watch in 4K. If you weren’t getting caught up in the adventures of the young panda then you were getting caught up in the overall environment that was filmed. Thank goodness for the people who do everything for these bears. Great family film, but be wary that there are some sad moments as well as fun moments.

We love most all nature shows and this one was touching. This is a wonderful documentary on the efforts to save the giant pandas in China. You will follow a small group of scientist as they try and introduce a captive born giant panda back into the wild. Bring your tissues with you! It seems short and would love to know more about how it all is working out.

Saw this in iMax and wanted to see again at home.. The only sources I found were streaming options until I discovered at by local store. Am so happy that this Best Buy only product was available.

Pandas is a fun but short documentary that has some really fantastic image quality. Definitely watch it in UHD HDR if possible! Also comes with a 4k digital copy redeemable on Movies Anywhere.

A most enjoyable documentary! 4K and Atmos makes for an incredible experience.we’ll definitely watch this again! Share it with friends and family but it should be part of every collection.
