From the creator of The Gods Must Be Crazy. Away in their own mysterious world, far from the prying eyes of people, Africa's animals lead lives of humor and horror, danger and dignity.

Uys's filmmaking works just fine.

May 2, 2016

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

Keep in mind that Jamie Uys was a cinematographer, not a naturalist. He filmed to entertain. And this is a very entertaining film. This makes the 4th Uys film I've acquired on DVD ... preceded by "The Gods Must Be Crazy," "The Gods Must Be Crazy 2," and "Dirkie - Lost in the Desert." All deal with the harshness of the desert environment in which they were filmed - and how the people and animals have come to terms with this environment. It may not be a totally accurate portrayal of animal life, however. There are plenty of films done by naturalists to fill that niche - if you're interested in that niche of filmmaking. For me, Uys's filmmaking works just fine.

A very wild and funny movie for all animal lovers.

August 18, 2014

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

I remember seeing this on HBO in the late 1970's-1980's. How animals survive in the deadly and dangerous lands of Africa. Although about a small time during the year, the rainfall comes down big time and practically floods the area, but when it settles down, flowers, and plants, and life begins a new. My favorite was when the animals performed a happy dance when their paradise returns and the deadly dry spells end. But the funniest parts were when a native bushman tries to hunt down some animals, the "Goaway Bird." warns all the animals to run from danger by actually saying Go Away and gives off a bird laugh. And the most humorous part is when the animals settle into an oasis, and gobble up a special fruit that grows on a tree, but has a bad side effect to give the animals an almost drunk effect, as they wobble and act funny.

Memories, I used to watch this when I was a kid back then. It was on a VHS tape, I remember always getting a good laugh here and there. Great documentary on the African wildlife with funny sound effects.

GREAT FAMILY MOVIE !

May 16, 2013

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

This is a Great movie to watch in family; about the land of big animals..? Africa of course!
This is a reminder of these old Disney animal stories; you know? the Bear...
That director was a genius. He had heart, humor, knowledge, and spirit.
(You probably heard of "The Gods Must Be Crazy"? He did those too.

You'll learn, you'll laugh, you'll be surprised, sometimes all at the same time.
(only one part is sad; if you have sensitive hearts with you;
it is about the pelicans; and death...)
Get it, watch it, let it sit for a while, then watch it again,
with kids if you can; they'll love it.
I laughed so much at some part, that my stomach was hurting.
Animals are really beautiful people!
Enjoy!

I fell in love with this documentary as a young child and all these years later it still amazes me to watch it. There are priceless ecological and anthropological observations recorded here and presented in a fun manner to engage both younger and more mature audiences.

This is a classic of Nature

August 30, 2017

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

A classic, just no other words will do. For any one who desires to teach children and to just enjoy God's creation. While deserts today have gone beyond what they are to be this program shows the essence of why there will still be deserts in God's kingdom when he returns. Everyone enjoy.
