Narrated by God (Morgan Freeman), you know it has to be worthwhile.
Although I saw it on conventional DVD, since it was filmed in the Imax large format the detail is very good, better than most DVDs.
The story features two different scientists whose vocations are to save orphaned creatures, nurse them to an appropriate age, and turn them back to their natural habitats, thus "born to be wild."
In Kenya, orphaned young elephants, usually a result of illegal poaching (killing) of their mothers, need to be bottle-fed for several years, before joining a herd of more mature elephants.
In Borneo similarly orphaned baby Orangutans are cared for until they are old enough to be released into the wild to live on their own.
While the film has a "conservation" message running through it, a statement to reduce the destruction of native forests and stopping poaching, it wasn't a message hammered so much to detract from the enjoyment of the film.
