Elijah P @elijahpen300 May 27 It’s very beautiful movie that I’m almost crying. See more Apr 23 Another worthy entry by Disney Nature films even 15 years later. The mysteries of the underwater realm are shown with incredibly filmed footage of all kinds of oceanic life forms. It’s even refreshing to witness an epic showdown between a shrimp and a crab than your average summer blockbuster hero vs villain. The oceans are a part of us and connect to our land world more than we know. It’s more than just the gorgeous imagery it’s also about the connected ecosystems that must remain in harmony and balance. The ocean is a major part of our life not just the animals who inhabit it. Kids and parents will get enough of a good education about the wonders of the underwater realm. See more 11/15/2021 A documentary film featuring images of creatures in or around the oceans of the world. Narrated by Pierce Brosnan, who does a fantastic job, this film has short segments that focus on specific species and their habits. Without a connective narrative the film was disjointed and I found my mind wondering and I checked twice to see how much of the film remained. There are some stunning visuals that may entertain someone who loves ocean life and for those people I would recommend a viewing of this movie. See more 08/14/2020 Solid nature footage with a sweet Pierce Brosnan narration but unfortunately there are so many of these nature docs these days, it is harder to stand out. See more 02/28/2020 I love Disney, and nature documentaries so I thought I was gonna love it, but this film really didn't do it for me. Bizarre story line, mediocre commentary but beautiful shots. See more 06/18/2018 Beautifully filmed and entertainingly narrated by Pierce Brosnan. See more Read all reviews
