A terrific big-screen/3D film about the rescue of baby elephants and orangutans by dedicated humans introduces young people to a strong conservation ethic.

A decent weekend diversion, this IMAX documentary is cute enough to engage your kids, while teaching them the most basic lessons in ecological responsibility.

Their stories are touching and inspiring, but let's face it, the visuals are what make this movie. Born to be Wild takes you to places you've never been and makes you wish you had.

Jennie Punter, Globe and Mail
The hip soundtrack adds momentum, and the reassuring narration of Morgan Freeman lets us know these lucky orphans will have a fighting chance for survival after taking their first steps -- or swings -- back into the wild.

Given the sheer scale of the format, Imax provides an ideal context in which to experience 3D, allowing the eyes to wander about each periphery-filling frame and focus on whatever catches our interest, the way we do in the real world.

While there's an important story here - how these two women take in endangered animals with the intention of later releasing them back into the wild - the main attraction is the general adorableness.

Lou Lumenick, New York Post
It's sort of poetic justice that the wretched "Sucker Punch" is getting kicked off four Manhattan IMAX screens after just two weeks by this charming nature documentary.
-
John Anderson, Wall Street Journal
A moving, engaging and revelatory IMAX attraction with two heroines and a crowd of charming beasts.
-
Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times
Although it runs just a fleet 40 minutes, the film proves a rich and memorable journey.
-
Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle
Wholesome and educational, teaches right from wrong, and brings up some important environmental issues.
