Very informative and educational Documentary that teaches how important pollinators like Bees,Butterflies and HummingBirds are to the Earth and what we can do to protect them. The Butterflies in this Documentary are so colorful/Beautiful and look like they came straight out of a National Geographic magazine

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

This movie is exceptional. We keeping watching it over and over. The way this film allows the viewer to see the 'unseeable' is incredible. Meryl Streep is soothing and the message on the importance of bees and pollination for survival is well articulated. A great work. The kids also absolutely adore it.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Rather than an indicated story chronicling the documented subjects, this small-scaled documentary has the most relevance and revelation in the Disneynature environmental objective with soulful beauty captured and expressed through some instances of attempted symbolic poeticism and theoretical questions. (A-) (Full review TBD)

Not the most exciting disney nature film made to date but Meryl Streep was a perfect fit for this documentary and it was surprisingly focused more on flowers and pollination than winged insects themselves

Thank Heaven for Disneynature; someone (besides National Geographic and such) needs to have the skill and desire to make documentaries of this sort.

Rated: 3/5

It's the first of these Disneynature that felt like an old school dry nature documentary.

Rated: C-

It's a wonder narrator Meryl Streep didn't put herself to sleep, the lines are so pedestrian and the delivery so very, very somnolent.

Rated: C+
