This absorbing film...manages to pack a lot of information - and some real drama - into its 40-minute running time.

"Pandas" does its subject justice and is a reminder of the importance of protecting endangered species and preserving the environment when these values have fallen from official favor.

By the time it's all said and done, you don't just want to help save the pandas, you want to take one home with you.

Come for the pandas, their soulful eyes and playful nature, stay for the ecological message.

Loved the pandas so cute. Did not like how you kept feeling the urge to swat the flies out of your face. But the feeling of almost touching the pandas made it all the better.

A group of researchers attempt to re-wild a troupe of pandas, seek help in other fellow bear-lovers. It's about pandas. There are pandas. What more can you ask for? I liked the 3D effect, the pandas, and the big natural scenery shots.

It was a really cute and very educational IMAX nature documentary. It had really well done cinematography, really excellent humor, really cute adventure, really wonderful music, really adorable characters and a really interesting story. In my opinion, I think it’s going to be one of my favorite IMAX documentaries I’ve ever seen. I really recommend this short movie to both children and adults.

Pandas is cute with some good information but there’s not much here except a short PSA. The cinematography is great and the film is only a little over 30 minutes long. This may have been good to watch an IMAX but on the regular TV it doesn’t feel like much of anything.
