5.0 out of 5 stars Holly takes us into the true hearts of the cheetahs, January 6, 1999

By	Jennifer Altieri (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: In the Wild - Cheetahs with Holly Hunter [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This video was so beautiful that it brought tears to my eyes several times. Holly hunter's genuine enthusiasm and awe at her experience with the Cheetahs as well as her obvious respect of these animals was lovely and extremely touching. When at the end she plays a part in freeing the chettah, she breaks down, I felt as though I was there with her and could understand the breadth of emotion that she must have been feeling. This is a wildlife special that not only teaches but makes you feel as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious and educational at once, October 17, 1999

By	A. Cargile "Amber C." (Anthem, AZ United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: In The Wild - Lemurs with John Cleese [VHS] (VHS Tape)

John Cleese expertly blends his trademark dry sarcasm with traditional documentary narration. I caught this as a rerun on my local PBS station in the middle of the night and found myself laughing out loud at his many unexpected comments. One scene where he calls the lemurs, "You bastards!" just slayed me.

5.0 out of 5 stars fascinating and hilarious, June 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: In the Wild: Orangutans With Julia Roberts [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The party responsible for convincing Julia Roberts to travel to Borneo to anchor a wildlife documentary should be commended. Rarely does a video offer such rich humor unintentionally. Roberts profound musings on the similarities between orangutans and humans ("They seem so...human-like") are priceless. The audacity of the celebrity phenomenon has never been more starkly apparent. Why spend time studying your subject matter to qualify yourself for such an expedition? If you are famous, you need no other training. This is obvious when Roberts naively strolls up to a 400-pound alpha male who promptly attempts to tear her limb from limb. The climax, edited for maximum humor, cuts from the attack (presented in SLOW-MOTION!) to Roberts, moments later - bruised, disheveled and obviously scared out of her mind. If there is a funnier wildlife documentary out there, I have not seen it. Bravo to PBS, the Ford Motor Company and anyone else even tangentially associated with this comic gem! Buy it and invite your friends over for a screening. You will heralded as a genius.
