Comments: I recently explored a couple episodes of New Kids in the Wild and thought this was just a condensed movie version of that series. Then I noticed the dates, and that this is a Disney Nature thing and the series is Blue Ant/Love Nature

That's about it. This is a Disney Nature thing. And I've seen a lot of the footage in this from other Disney Nature things. There are a few good story nuggets and some good photography, but it's pretty surface level overall

If you are interested in the "New Kids Growing Up" genre, give the series a look. I can only vouch for the Chinga the Lion Cub and Usana the Cheetah Cub episodes, but they are fantastic. Beautiful, intimate photography; calm, family friendly narration; a truly inspired soundtrack; good stories
