April 21: Born in China (Disney Nature)
#BornInChina
Narrated
by John Krasinski (“13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi,” NBC’s
“The Office,” “Amazon’s “Jack Ryan”), Disneynature's new True Life
Adventure film “Born In China” takes an epic journey into the wilds of
China where few people have ever ventured. Following the stories of
three animal families, the film transports audiences to some of the most
extreme environments on Earth to witness some
of the most intimate moments ever captured in a nature film. A doting
panda bear mother guides her growing baby as she begins to explore and
seek independence.
A two-year-old golden monkey who feels displaced by
his new baby sister joins up with a group of
free-spirited outcasts. And a mother snow leopard—an elusive
animal rarely caught on camera—faces the very real drama of raising her
two cubs in one of the harshest and most unforgiving environments on the
planet. Featuring stunning, never-before-seen imagery,
the film navigates China’s vast terrain—from the frigid mountains to
the heart of the bamboo forest—on the wings of red-crowned cranes,
seamlessly tying the extraordinary tales together. Opening in U.S.
theaters on Earth Day 2017, “Born in China” is directed
by accomplished Chinese filmmaker Lu Chuan, and produced by Disney’s
Roy Conli and renowned nature filmmakers Brian Leith and Phil Chapman.

I'm most excited about Beauty and the Beast! I have always been a fan of the animated movie, and this live-action version looks simply amazing (Emma Watson is gorgeous as Belle!).
And of course, I will have to see Star Wars: Episode VIII. All we know about the movie so far is that Carrie Fisher finished filming her part as Princess/General Leia over the summer. It was devastating losing Carrie Fisher in 2016; much love and thoughts are with her family.
What are you looking forward to seeing in 2017?
