Summary:

Alaska: Jake Barnes moves his daughter and son to Alaska and earns money by ferrying supplies to locations throughout the state. His daughter loves it, but her brother doesn't and he can't wait to leave. However, they join forces to look for their father when they learn that he has gone down in an airplane accident. The official search party is called off and Jake is assumed dead, but the children will have none of it, and go off on their own into the Alaskan wilderness.
The amazing panda adventure: In this children's adventure a young boy heads for China with his father to spend his spring break on a wildlife preserve in China. There his father and others are working to save the endangered pandas. Unfortunately, the preserve itself is endangered by budget cuts. To save it, the workers must prove that they are doing valuable work by showing the budget committee a live panda cub. Unfortunately, the only cub around has been trapped by poachers. Somehow, the workers manage to steal the cub away. But on their way back, Nick and his Chinese pal Ling end up separated from the grown ups. With them is the adorable cub. Now they must find their way back and avoid the murderously angry poachers. Adventure and mayhem ensue until they meet the inevitably happy ending. The film was shot on location in the Sichuan province of China.

Heller's moody teenage son, Rick (Will Horneff), bonds with the primate, now nicknamed Katie.
