I just watched this movie and it was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've always been so annoyed with "tree hugers" and people who kept shoving global warming, we're killing the planet, etc. down my throat. But this is the first point of view I've heard/seen that has actually honestly moved me. It made me want to change my lifestyle so that my children, and my children's children would be able to experience and appreciate the wonder of God's creation. For me, the most pivotal moment in the movie as far as changing my perspective, was when the male polar bear struggled because of the quickended melting of the ice. I don't want saving the earth and it's creatures to become like a "religion" to me, but I've taken on a new view. If people really want to effect others, this is a way to do it!

There is a focus on the death of animals throughout the movie. Very little explanation for the viewer as to why the animals are migrating which would help put the struggles of migration into context. I went with my 7 year old. I would not do this again! This movie is incomplete. There is a focus on the death of animals throughout the movie.

Solar is good, but seriously not THE answer. First off, it doesn't work at night. Second, there is not enough sun in many parts of the country. Third, we do not currently have the infrastructure (i.e. power lines) to support large scale use of solar energy. Fourth, although we have had "solar technology" for quite some time, it is only recently becoming efficient and affordable enough to use in mainstream society. And lastly, we also need to consider the space and materials needed and pollution caused by the manufacture and installation of solar panels. I am sure solar will become more prominent in the future than it is now, but it is not going to save us all anytime soon.

To me it was a very old school documentary and they didn't do anything to make it alive and fresh. Granted, I watched it as an adult without kids, but I felt like it was a great opportunity wasted. First off they marketed it as "the remarkable story of three animal families and their amazing journey across the planet we all share." However, I doubt 20 minutes of the whole movie were actually about these animal families. Instead it jumped around the globe chaotically showing lots of cool nature footage with almost no in depth explanation or education. It seems to me it would have had much more impact if it stayed more focused on the animal families and somehow related the surrounding events to them. This way we can form a "bond" and actually care about the animals. In addition, opportunities were sadly missed to tell us more about the wildlife we did see. For example here are ducks jumping from a tree. Fascinating! Why don't they die from the fall, where are they going? Will they live? Does their mother feed them or they on their own? So many lost opportunities. I guess I am a late comer to this movie, but I have to say I was a little disappointed.

It was pretty clear to me that this footage was in existence, probably from the filming of the BBC's "Planet Earth" series, and that Disney just found a way to monetize the existing footage by cutting it into a 90 minute film and using their distribution and marketing capabilities. Disney didn't sell out the Polar Bears. Documentaries are created to document events. I'm sure there were clauses that the photographers had to adhere to which prohibited them from interfering with the wildlife. The Polar Bear dies even if nobody is watching. Baby elephants die, impala are eaten, Bambi dies. Everyone and everything dies. If you prefer your 10 yr old to watch sponge bob square pants, well I guess that's your prerogative. I don't feel the need to defend Disney, but I can assure you that you will consume their products again in the future. You do watch ESPN now right? (Disney company...)

I wouldn't recommend this movie to young children and my daughter and I left early before we saw any more carnivores or torture for the animals. They only show you the sweet things in the trailer, but there's too much reality in it and wished that they eliminated the sad parts...... If you don't like serious movies, I would not recommend to see this. However, it has made me more serious and more determined than ever to push for solar power..... The car industries and homes could have been solar powered years and years ago and we've had the technology for a long time, but are too stubborn to change. It's time to change. That's the good that came out of this movie is the conviction that everyone needs to drastically change and go SOLAR!!!!

She told me about the male polar bear that dies. It breaks my heart. Why is it that every Disney movie has to portrait death? I understand that they are trying to educate people about climate change but the persons behind the camera did nothing to try to save the polar bear. These animals are becoming extinct and Disney sold them out to make a movie. I doubt that I will ever see or purchase another Disney movie for as long as I live.
