We bought this video at a discount store in London for 2 pounds, not expecting too much for that price. But this video was great! We learned so much ourselves, but our son loves it even more - he's been watching it since he was 1 year old. It helped with his speech, hopefully he's learning lots of good stuff, and the clips are short and fast enough to keep a small toddler interested throughout. So far we have four in this Eyewitness series, and they are all great. We are so happy he can watch this instead of Teletubbies!

This film about the sea and it's history is excellent to watch. I love the underwater footage and clips of mysterious and fascinating deep ocean creatures. The pressure down there is scary to think about but, fun nonetheless. This has just the right amount of computor graphics and real footage to make an excellent video!
Take a close look at this Eyewitness nature masterpiece...

This movie,even though short,is very colorful and I am sure it is not designed specifically for children,it is for everybody,but also gives children a look at the deep deep black bowels of the sea and of the land! People should discover this film instaed of terrible cartoons! And,of course after all,people should take this movie as an everybody movie and not as a toddler film! So sit back and enjoy this serious movie and STAY AWAY from cartoons!!end!

eyewitness does it again, with this extraordinary video. i am lover of the sea...always learning, always endeavoring on more about it...but watching this video i learned more in a half a hour than i did in the past six months...i would have given this video a 4 for the only reason...that it wasnt long enough..haha^_^ but that would be selfish.. ^_^ thank you eyewitness

Eyewitness - Ocean continues the great tradition of scientific family entertainment. This edition: Ocean, focused on Earth's greatest natural resource: the ocean. While I enjoyed Eyewitness - Ocean, I didn't enjoy it as much as Eyewitness -Volcano or Eyewitness - Plant. Most of the information was very general and the visuals weren't quite as clever.

Still, this is a solid installment, sure to entertain those interested in science and the environment.

This Eyewitness video, like the couple others we have viewed with our preschoolers, is interesting for us adults, but not at all entertaining enough for young children. Too much talking! Not enough action! <G>

The sea creatures are covered too quickly and without enough captivating video to hold preschoolers' attention. And many of the creatures are frankly boring, unless you're old enough to understand the wonder and mystery of it all. These videos are really geared to junior high students, at least.
