Disney Nature Earth (Blu-ray + DVD)
T2 Rating: 4 out of 4 stars
Rated: G
Length: 90 Minutes
If you ever needed an excuse to make the switch to Blu-Ray, Disney Natures Earth IS the reason. This gorgeous 90 minute story capturing the journey of wildlife features breathtaking imagery that you literally have to see to believe.
This remarkable journey takes you through the ice, water and sand to experience the migration patterns of polar bears, humpback wales and African elephants. Most impressive is the cinematography here that can be watched over and over again. Some of the overhead shots are visually overwhelming and the time lapse footage is the jaw dropping.
The storyline presented here is very similar to most nature titles. Danger, the struggle for survival, and in some cases scary scenes. In fact, it seems to stay true to many of the original Disney Nature shorts that set the tone for these types of movies.
In terms of audio, the sound is done well and mixed with a beautiful soundtrack and that voice! Yes, when it comes to narration this story is delivered by the only voice to do this style, James Earl Jones.
If you bought an HD TV, this IS what it was made for. It’s great family viewing, although there are a few instances where they walk right up to the line of unpleasantness that might concern for a few. Definitely a winner for ages 5 and up and a must see for the whole family.
