Earth

DisneyNature's Earth is a breathtaking feast to the eyes. Although it was rated as G scenes where a wolf attacking a baby caribou or a Great white shark leaping 32 feet in the air to grab and hold its seal meal did not sit well with Sandhya and Divya.

The story line involves different animal families with new born. The struggle they go through to protect the babies. Astonished to see how this maternal instinct to protect the babies is so deep rooted in any living thing. Movie also takes us through different regions of earth right from Tundra to the African desert to the Himalayas which at least I would not have viewed in my life if not for movies like these and the documentaries on TV.

The ariel view of the migration of caribou herds and buffalo herds were simply awesome not to leave the bird migration. There were also totally fun moments to watch where a bird species in the middle of the rain forest being soo...much obsessed with scrubbing and cleaning its living space to attract its mate. One thing to make sure is that this is watched in a good theater with good sound systems, it just lifts you to that level where you feel that you are sitting right on the spot where it was shot. I've heard that birds migrate thousands of miles for breeding, it was until now a piece of information to me but to watch some ducks crossing the Himalayas midst of the storm towards the warmer climate of Indian subcontinent gave that piece of information a new meaning.

Yes, as the narrator discloses it is a circle of life, every living thing has a predator to complete the circle but to watch a polar bear dying , being lost and due to lack of food was heart breaking because the ice is melting faster every year it loses its stable hunting ground..and why does the ice melt faster..Global warming. watching the movie you will certainly feel it is still so much worth to save this planet especially other species we share this planet with. Its loathsome that there are still people who says Global warming is not caused by humans and firmly believes that it is a phase that nature is going through out of nobody's fault. Yes, I have heard these exact words. Leave alone the point if they are doing their part to reduce it but they even resist to accept the fact. I wonder ..
