Born to Be Wild Reviews
Detroit News
Tom Long
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.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
A decent weekend diversion, this IMAX documentary is cute enough to engage your kids, while teaching them the most basic lessons in ecological responsibility.
Washington Post
Stephanie Merry
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.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Williams
"Born to be Wild" is a good nature film - and a great technical achievement.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
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.
Boston Globe
Janice Page
An honest marketer might have just gone ahead and titled the film "Awwwww.''
New York Times
Neil Genzlinger
Some animal parts, it turns out, are perfectly suited to 3-D, none more so than an elephant's trunk.
Chicago Sun-Times
Nell Minow
Everything a family movie should be: touching, funny and inspiring.
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Hartlaub
Wholesome and educational, teaches right from wrong, and brings up some important environmental issues.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
Although it runs just a fleet 40 minutes, the film proves a rich and memorable journey.
Beliefnet
Nell Minow
One way or another you'll find yourself saying, "Awwwwww."
Decent Films
Steven D. Greydanus
I'm a fan of the diorama approach [to 3D], but Born to Be Wild makes the case that a nature documentary in IMAX 3D can and perhaps should bring us as close to the action as possible.
Slant Magazine
Glenn Heath Jr.
There are three certainties in life: death, taxes, and Morgan Freeman's voice.
Hollywood Reporter
Kirk Honeycutt
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.
Variety
Peter Debruge
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.
Wall Street Journal
John Anderson
A moving, engaging and revelatory IMAX attraction with two heroines and a crowd of charming beasts.
Orlando Sentinel
Roger Moore
Cute, but never insufferably so, "Born to Be Wild 3D" is best taken as the perfect film to transition your kids from animation to live action fare - short, sweet, and educational.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
Touching in a zoolike, rather than spectacular, way.
Village Voice
Nick Schager
Clocking in at only 40 minutes, the film has no time to thoroughly explore the issues at the heart of its bifurcated tale.
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
Incredibly moving. Even if you don't have a three-story screen in your home, the film still works marvelously.
