They are coming! They are coming! The babies are invading the big screen! A first trailer for Thomas Balmes' upcoming documentary "Babies" (formerly "Baby(ies)") has hit the Web, and you can see it below.
The Focus Features release simultaneously follows four babies around the world – from birth to first steps: Ponijao from Namibia, Bayarjargal from Mongolia, Mari from Tokyo and Hattie from San Francisco.
Based on an original idea by Alain Chabat, the film joyfully captures on film the earliest stages of the journey of humanity that are at once unique and universal to us all. At least that's what Focus says about it.
The trailer is cute and I'm sure the film will find a big audience charmed by babies, but I just can't see myself watching a bunch of babies doing their thing on the screen for an entire 90 minutes.
Who knows though, maybe "Babies" comes loaded with a big surprise (which I doubt). Focus will release the documentary April 16, 2010. Enjoy the babies in the trailer for the flick below.

I cry every time I watch this trailer and can't wait for the release!!!!!
There may not be anything revolutionary about this documentary -- but as a new mom, I will watch with interest to see the universal common threads that run through humanity no matter the culture....from sibling rivalry to imitating mom.....to the family dog taking a drink from the bath.
