The Review

When you have James Earl Jones narrating something, you know it’s something special.

Apart from the excellent casting of other voice-overs such as Patrick Stewart, it is an insightful documentary.

You’ll know have a better understanding of the global warming crisis we’re experiencing.

These educational lessons are learned via the penguins, polar bears, elephants families that the Disney camera crew followed for five years.

This is no Disney usual family production, there are scenes of animal cruelty and death, so take note if you’re bringing kids.

Overall a breathtaking movie for me.

The Good

• Very touching
• Brilliant cinematography

The Bad

• Similarities to BBC’s Planet Earth
• You’ll feel guilty of your own exploitation of nature after watching this
