Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

A Walk on the Wild Side, starring a hairy, scaly, and feathery cast of thousands, explores the many ways animals get around in the world. There's the cheetah, the fastest animal on land, with an extended stride of 24 feet, who preys on the world's second-fastest animal, the gazelle. Off the coasts of the Galapagos, water-borne iguanas and sea turtles perform like synchronized swimmers. But the greatest treat--if you want to call it that--of the show is the heroic journey of a dung beetle rolling its prize home to the family burrow.

The quality of film and sound in A Walk on the Wild Side never ceases to amaze. Footage of a school of hatchet fish leaping out of the water to escape predators invites freeze-frame viewing, and you could use the gorgeous shots of butterflies to sell your TV if you wanted to. Bonus material--including trivia and information on endangered species--is a nice touch but isn't the best part of the program by any means. A must-have for nature-show enthusiasts. --Ryan Boudinot

2.0 out of 5 stars Birds in the Wild, May 27, 2005

This review is from: Animal in the Wild (DVD)

1.-Good overall Photography but quality starts to decay after ten minutes.
2.-Contrast is very poor. I do not know what did they do in postproducttion but it needs a total adjustment on chroma, video, pedestal and so on..
3.-The music hits the target sometimes, but most of the time does not match the situation.
4.-The narrator is not the best in the bussiness.
5.-Birds are mostly shot in Afrika, but in south america there are 40% of the species and overall more than 50% in all the americas.
I hope the other two episodes are better (not expecting so much)

4.0 out of 5 stars Great DVD must see, January 24, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Animals in the Wild 4: Amazing Habitats (DVD)

This excellent DVD shows where animals live. It has lots of fascinating visuals. You get to understand a lot about how animals live, and where they live. It shows that every animal no matter how small has a home. After watching the film you can also learn about animal tracks and even trivia from their interactive center. This is one educational video that I really enjoyed and I think that it is a lot of fun for the whole family.
