    I had anticipated this for weeks...but was let down big time!

    by kellyu

    I took my husband, 5 year old daughter, and almost 2 year old son on earth day to watch this movie.
    Well, the movie couldn't keep my son's interest (it moves very slow and there are lots of scenic scenes with no animals mixed in) BUT I assumed he wouldn't go for it...hey I tried. So my husband and son left.
    I realized about 10 minutes into it, that I had seen ALMOST ALL of these scenes before on the discovery channel. Literally, the same exact scenes with a new narrator... I was very annoyed. Why would I pay to see this on the big screen when I had already seen it for "free" at home???
    Then my 5 year old animal lover who was so excited to see the movie....fell asleep in her chair. I couldn't believe it. nothing gets her to sleep! She is a crazy ball of energy and this movie sucked it out of her. What a bust.

    I only recommend this to adults or older children who have not seen the planet earth movies or anything on discovery channel....other than that...don't waste your time!

    There was more "death" than expected. Disney portrays this as a family movie, but I was quite dismayed when my four year old daugther reacted with such sadness when the death of some animals was shown. I have no issues with this, but in this instance, it was definitely not expected. I would still take my daughter, but would hope to explain to her what he subject conent was and informing her of this before I let her help make the decision of the movie we take mom for Mother's Day. I was not aware of the violence that was in the movie, and was surprised by it, as it was NEVER protrayed in any trailers or commercials.

    fantastic cinematography- great aerial shots of terrain and migrating animals. it was like a bigger version of a national geographic special. HOWEVER, my young children were a bit traumatized by the suffering of the animals. there was several scenes of natural killing by predator that was done with much emotion evoking music, the lions attacking the baby elephant was gruesome- but it was the starving of the daddy polar bear that made my 8 year old cry and we finally had to leave early. suggest bracing young children for the realities of natural order, as well as a long talk about how we are helping the environment by conservation, etc. so there is hope for the polar bear if we can address global warming. all sad but all true- so a thought provoking and beautifully filmed movie but not a good pick for little guys.
