Earth

Starring: James Earl Jones, Polar Bears, Elephants, Whales
Running Time: 1h 30min

Basically a rehash mishmash of the Planet Earth documentaries from the BBC, Earth is a remarkable achievement for several reasons. First, the stunning photography is breath taking on DVD, and only ten times more spectacular on the big screen. Secondly, taking the narration reigns from Sir Richard Attenborough, James Earl Jones' bass heavy voice makes the nature photography all the more appealing to audiences. Finally, the mere fact that Disney's promotional power and marketing prowess has resulted in flocks and flocks of families heading to theatres to see content that was readily available for sometime and probably already seen in some form is just phenomenal. i'm pleased that audiences have embraced the documentary format and that images of Earth's greatest gifts may have a lifelong impact on our future conservationists.

Grade: A
