Without a doubt, this is one of the landmark nature documentaries of its kind. Extremely well photographed and edited, the whole presentation invites and then captures your attention and admiration for some of nature's most delicate creatures. Excellent for all ages!

Indeed, it's a lovely program about absolutely amazing creatures. As always with NOVA, superbly done. One thing: In two very un-Nova moments, in two segments they use soprano vocal "singing" (over orchestral) that is ear-splitting, spine-slicing, cruelly painful to some of us with sensitive hearing! Yikes! It actually triggers a migraine. Although I've watched this episode several times, I still have never heard what Stockard Chaning says about the chrysalis and then in the mating segment because that music is unbearable and I have to mute the volume (and take an Imitrex for migraine). But the other 50 minutes of this Nova episode are wonderful.

This was a wonderful, educational documentary of the life cycle and migration habits of the butterfly. Many of them stop here in NJ and it's interesting to know how our stopping point fits in with the scheme of this cycle.

I saw this on Nova recently and was so fascinated I didn't even blink during the whole thing! I'm giving it to my grand-daughter ( if I can part with it) because it is so well done and the story so Incredible! Makes you think - "if a butterfly can do this, I can do anything"

Our family really liked watching this about the monarch butterflies and their migration across the United States down to Mexico. My husband lived in Mexico when the butterflies passed through several years ago... when the ground looked like it was moving with so many everywhere. We enjoyed watching this amazing journey of one of God's creatures.

I bought this for my 3 1/2 year old that has become obsessed with butterflies. I wasn't sure if it would be too over her head, but she loves it and sits through the entire thing. Great dvd.

This cd very beautiful and informative. Had nieces look at it with me and they were so mesmerized they were asking everyone to be quite while they watched.

The product was exactly as represented, arrived very quickly and for a small shipping fee. I was VERY pleased with the results of doing business with Amazon by ordering this product. Thank you.

I am 62 years old and have been a photographer most of my life. The photography and ability to follow the Monarch butterflies on their journey is remarkable.

I purchased this video by mistake, thinking it was a different special I had seen on PBS. Nonetheless, we kept it, and watched it....over and over and over! My five year old daughter absolutely loves it. Very educational and awe inspiring!
