A boy visits his father in China and helps save a panda cub
from poachers.
SEX/NUDITY 2 - When a boy and a young girl find leeches on their bodies,
they strip and run into the river to wash them off; we see bare legs and arms, and the
characters are uncomfortably aware of the others' nudity.
VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - Twice the boy and girl fall into fast-moving rivers
screaming (the girl can't swim). The mother panda is caught in a trap and is almost shot
by poachers. Throughout the film the poachers chase the boy and girl and there is a fight
along a cliff. A couple of chases with runaway carts. In a cartoon before the film there
are kicks, punches, chases and cartoon violence.
PROFANITY 1 - A couple of mild obscenities. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Wildlife preservation, divorce, fatherhood, friendship,
sacrifice, poaching.
MESSAGE - You have to spend time with your child to be able to call yourself
a father; saving animals is important and killing them for profit is wrong.
