Everybody loves... BABIES (the movie)

As a BzzAgent member, I'm privileged to the announcement of a new film that's being premiered on Mother's Day weekend.

... premiering in Theatres Mother's Day Weekend

A visually stunning and joyful new film that simultaneously chronicles the lives of four of the world's newest human inhabitants -- in Mongolia, Namibia, San Francisco, and Tokyo -- from first breathe to first steps.

BABIES by Susan Wloszczyna of USA TODAY

Parents, movie fans are cooing over 'Babies' documentary.

If you were enraptured by just-hatched creatures of March of the Penguins, wait until you see Babies.

The collective cooing began last fall when the film's trailer first appeared in theaters. Two African children play with rocks inside a hut when the younger one decides to reach for a nearby plastic bottle -- only to have the older toddler suddenly push her and grab it away. One bites, the other shrieks, tears are shed and the laughter of shared recognition fills the air.
