THIS VIDEO IS NOT, I REPEAT NOT FOR KIDS, within the first 10 minutes you see a "cute" seal being eaten by a polar bear with blood all over the place and 10 minutes after that you see the Dad frozen in ice with a hideous face. Imagine explaining this gory imagery to your kids. I know you can't return movies but they should really take this one back. I turned the movie off after the Scary Frozen Dad Face and told my kids the movie was broken. This movie is really a normal wildlife adventure with fake lips slapped on and cheap music sold as a video for kids. They should be ashamed of themselves.

My 6 year old and 3 year old boys wanted to watch this movie, and it looked very "cute". Oh how looks can be deceiving. This kid movie, is more like a documentary about polar bears. Which is not bad, but some of the content was not for my 3 year old. They are not sheltered by any means, but this movie was a bit graphic. I would definitely recommend renting this movie, and having a parent preview it before it is purchased.

My son is very much into animals. We rented this movie from our local library. It is very education and very creative. The polar bears talk in the film- which my son loved. Instead of a narrator saying this is what polar bears eat, hunt, etc. The polar bear themselves talk about their story. Very fun and educational. We had to buy it!

A very cleverly done combination of live-action footage and computer animation. This engaging tale of a polar bear family's struggle for survival against the backdrop of global warming and the resultant inadequate food supplies will charm the young and 'young at heart'. The gentle twist at the end is a nice touch. A few scenes may be jarring to some, but these are handled tastefully and are brief so as not to dwell on the harsh reality of life in todays' arctic.

My kids are into polar bears, so it was a good fit. It was interesting how they combined wildlife shots with animation. If you watch the making of, it gives you an idea of how it's done. Overall, we recommend it highly and didn't find it too violent, not compared to what's out there! The scenery is beautiful and the story is educational and touching. I think most families would really enjoy it.
