Babies: Movie Follows 4 in First Year of Life
If you’re the kind of parent who isn’t yet sick of hearing how they raise kids in Sweden (or the Netherlands or Canada or Brooklyn), if you’re a dedicated reader of this Babble series, or if you’ve ever read this woman’s fun research, then this movie, due out in the spring, is probably you’re thing.
TRAILER AFTER THE JUMP
There’s not a lot of detail out yet about the movies, but, according to the website, filmmaker Thomas Balmès, using an idea from producer Alain Chabat, follows four babies from around the world from the moment of their births to their first steps. Rated PG.
The cast is Mari from Tokyo, Poni from Namibia, Bayar from Mongolia and Hattie from San Francisco.
The trailer itself is fun to watch. Who knew a tub could clean a baby and quench a goat’s thirst?

NoVa Mommy commented on Dec 02 09 at 8:39 pmThat is friggin’ adorable AND proof that babies are universally breathtaking. And by the way, I saw that whole Namibian exchange at my daughter’s playgroup today.
Alicia commented on Dec 02 09 at 9:12 pmThat is amazing and I so want to see it. DH says no way no how. LOL. I bet I can convince him. :D
Laura commented on May 23 10 at 6:57 amComments This is a racially slanted movie that gave me a sick feeling. If it was meant to slam the Africans and Mongolians, it certainly did it! Too much dirt, hitting, and nudity. Wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.
