3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing. Not a happy "adventure" for children!, February 8, 2011

This review is from: Bugs! A Rainforest Adventure (DVD)

While this film is beautiful and informative, the storyline is, to quote my 7 year old, "Lame!!" Both my 5 and 7 year old, who love insect and bug movies/documentaries and haven't had trouble in the past when insects die, ended this movie weeping and angry. The story follows a butterfly and a praying mantis from birth to maturity, calling them by name and going through all of the dangers and developments they face. After all of it, they choose to end it with the mantis eating the butterfly. The butterfly wings float down together and land in the stream and float off. Artistic it was. Maybe that's nice for adults, but I would have liked a little warning before watching it with my kids.

5.0 out of 5 stars BREATHTAKING JOURNEY INTO ANOTHER WORLD, December 10, 2007

(VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Bugs! A Rainforest Adventure (DVD)

This incredibly beautiful film is like a trip to the outer edges of Eden. The stunning cinematography is a sight to behold again and again. Judi Dench's measured voice work is a perfect match. This film reminds me a little of "Micro Cosmos" in tone and style. I have an affection for the great beauty of the natural world caught on film. I find it reassuring and also somewhat disturbing that this world is more mysterious than we can possibly imagine and also more awesome and wonderful. Yes, feel the wonder and awe. Because that's what this little gem is all about.

1.0 out of 5 stars My 4 yr old was crying in a ball, June 24, 2011

I agree with the reviewer above, Elizabeth. My son loves bugs. He's obsessed. He can't get enough bug movies... but this one is going in the vault with Star Wars until he's older. He came down the stairs crying his eyes out that the praying mantis ate the butterfly. And what makes it worse... they give the two insects names, so my son fell in love with them both. "He ate Peeo! He ate Peeo!!! Mom!!!!" Then we went into a discussion about the cycle of life, death, etc. -- all I wanted was 45 minutes of mommy time, not a philosophy lesson with my toddler.
