"My daughter, 2.5 years, absolutely adores this movie, just as much as she loves the books. The plot in itself is not very realistic, but then again childrens animated movies usually aren't; Animals talk, friendships grow between two spieces enemies in nature (an other example Disney's "Fox and Hound") and the locations have all the details wrong... Refreshingly this movie has no violence and lots of sweet moments which makes it suitable for the youngest viewers."

"Sweet animated film about a baby polar bear's friendship with a baby seal. Despite the "fish eating machine"(which kills No animals), my 4 year old loves the movie. Nice change of pace from Disney animations, which often seem to include violence and death."
Excellent Family/Freindship Story

"I purchased this DVD for my husband who taught elementary school for 35 years. He has always loved Polar Bears and the different books about Lars were read to our sons all the time and now to our grandsons. Both "Papa" and grandsons (ages 5 & 3) watched this DVD three days in a row. It teaches about family and friendship which does not seem to be that important in today's society so much. I would recommend this as a great DVD for all ages."
