5.0 out of 5 stars Wild Ponies of Assateague Island, May 20, 2005

This review is from: Wild Ponies of Assateague Island (DVD)

One of the reasons why this is such a great fim is that it contains such great footage of the wild ponies and other wildlife found along Assateague. I noticed it is filmed and directed by a native of Chincoteague Island that knows where to look for the wildlife there everyday. The wild ponies there are a unique species and the film shows how they live, their behavior and interesting social characteristics. Many different herds are shown along the island with each band of ponies and its stallion, mares and foals. The Pony Swim and auction shows how the wild ponies' population is controlled. Any person who likes "Misty of Chincoteague" will also love this new film. The DVD also shows really good footage of migratory birds, dolphins and other wildlife at the wildlife refuge there.

This review is from: Wild Ponies of Assateague Island (DVD)

Do you like to watch other peoples home movies? The ones that all you can hear are the inane comments of the tourists seated behind camera and wind on the microphone? than this video is for you!

If you, like me, are considering a visit to the island, and are looking for an informational / educational / documentary style DVD on Assateague because you are wondering how they got there and why they swim - this video is not for you!

This video tells you virtually nothing. In addition to providing no information about Assateague or the ponies - they play horribly monotonous acoustic guitar music throughout.

For $6.99, this is what I would expect.

For $24.99?

I want my money back!

Bought this for my eight year-old but I read it first. Wonderful story, written well and I enjoyed it as much as she did.
