The animals have passports, but the filmmakers don't seem to

"My 5 year old animal-loving son seemed to like this DVD well enough when we watched it for the first time, but I was annoyed to see that all the animals were filmed in zoos or wild animal parks with fences and cement barriers clearly visible in the shots. In an apparent attempt to minimize this, most of the shots were framed very tightly - head and shoulders, mostly.
The narrative contains a solid stream of facts and isn't cloying as it can be in some videos marketed to younger kids, but telling us that the lion roams the grasslands in search of prey, while we see a lion lying down in a dusty enclosure with a fence behind him was less than impressive."
Awesome wildlife DVD for kids

"This DVD is great. The footage is really high-quality, PLUS it's totally kid-friendly. Nothing violent, but still realistic. I got this for my niece and nephew who are 5 & 9, and they both love it. If you have a kid in your life who loves animals- this is for them!"
Absolutely Beautiful
