5.0 out of 5 stars A repeat viewer in San Diego, April 26, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: On the Wings of the Monarch [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This one I will watch over and over again! The host of this documentary is so very charming and with her enthusiasm draws you completely into the story. Its obvious that she experienced a great journey herself while following the life cycle and migration of the monarch butterfly. Every detail is recorded with incredible accuracy. What an awesome biological phenomenon-butterflies by the millions migrating like birds to over-wintering sites thousands of miles away in Mexico and then coming back to North America in the Spring! The close-up sequences of the metamorphosis are amazing. Youll see for example the striped monarch caterpillar shedding its skin and turning into a jade-colored chrysalis decorated with goldits true, go see for yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Educational - and Entertaining, April 7, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: On the Wings of the Monarch [VHS] (VHS Tape)

"On the Wings of the Monarch" is an updated and informative presentation not only on the monarch butterfly's life cycle, but also on the environmental issues that affect its habitat and migration patterns. The host is friendly and engaging, and the cinematography, particularly of the monarch's "overwintering sites" in Mexico, is a joy to behold. I highly recommend this title for both home use as well as for purchase by school and public libraries.

This incredible documentary will make you fall in love with the Monarch Butterflies (if you are not already amazed with these magnificent creatures.) The quality of the video, the narration and the music are fantastic!!!
I think this is a great ENTERTAINMENT AND LEARNING AID for getting people interested in protecting this wonder of nature.
I highly recommend this tape for audiences of all ages.
ATTENTION!! After you see this video on you might have a sudden urge to go and see this wonder of nature with your own eyes (I did...) In the mean time...enjoy the video!!
