All the water-loving regulars, from sharks and penguins to starfish and seahorses, make an appearance in this installment of the excellent kid series from National Geographic, Really Wild Animals. Information provided by an animated version of planet Earth (voiced by an enthusiastic Dudley Moore) is balanced with poppy musical odes to clean water and deep-sea creatures (sample lyric: "If you need a cheap hotel, crawl inside an empty shell"). In this 44-minute underwater tour, viewers visit the Great Barrier Reef, join caged divers amidst circling sharks, and listen to a trainer talk about the size of dolphin brains. It's a hard-to-resist addition for anyone who enjoys watching a diver dwarfed by a giant jellyfish or seeing an octopus, in all its squirming glory, outwit a wolf eel. This is mainly for animal lovers from preschool through elementary school, although parents will undoubtedly learn something, too. --Kimberly Heinrichs

I have used this video when teaching an animals unit in Science. My students absolutely love Deep Sea Dive. It is now June, our animals unit was over in December, yet this is the video they request most! The video is jam-packed with interesting factoids, which my students love. I recommend it to anyone. It is the best of the Really Wild Animals series.

My 4 year old son received this video for Christmas and watches it almost everyday. He's very interested in animals, especially sea animals. I like the fact that it's very educational and that it keeps him interested and wanting to learn more. He's going to get more of this type of video for his birthday coming up.
