educational TV show Animal World, few wildlife
documentaries actually tell the stories of animals
native to our country.

came out in the Chinese mainland. It was because
it was one of the only documentaries to focus on
Chinese wildlife that it caught on. And now, the hit
production has made it to the US.
It was top Chinese filmmaker Lu chuan who
directed the movie released on April 21. It is the story
of three animal families native to China that the movie
tells. The Associated Press noted it was the magic of
nature and its wildlife that often took great patience
for the humans who want to revel (陶醉) in it.
