Born in China, or Wo Men Dan Sheng Zai Zhong Guo in Chinese, features real animals, including pandas, golden monkeys and red-crowned cranes as the protagonists.

It also includes rare footage of endangered snow leopards.

The wildlife drama centers on the epic stories of animal families set against a vast canvas, depicting how they lead their lives with love and mutual assistance from birth to growth and how they confront their most dangerous enemies.

The film is a collaboration between the Walt Disney Company and Shanghai Media Group, which also involves Chinese director Lu Chuan and his team who spent three years on the production of this film.
