Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict
ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
martin-fennell I've seen this movie many times.This is one of the best nature films ever made. It is a mixture of comedy, violence, sadness, and all other things that go to make up this world. The creatures will make you laugh, be amazed and maybe even draw a tear. Faultless direction. One of my favourites. I recommend this without reservation.
Spaceygirl A true South African classic. A film for everyone. My sisters and Imust have watched it at every school we attended and loved it every time. Twenty years on, mythreeyear old niece adores it, especially the 'drunk animals' and the badger and the honey-guide. The scenes with the baby pelicans had her (and me) in tears. There are some scenes that seem contrived but these are few and far between. The classical music score is marvellous and the sound effects enhance the effect and thefilm is a visual feast. Highly recommended.
Philip Van der Veken I've always loved animals and I don't really have any favorites, although I find fishes very interesting to watch. Sometimes I even have more fun with my pets than with people because they don't think about their actions, they just do what they like to do. I also like to watch documentaries, although I have to say that many documentaries can get boring after a while. But this movie isn't just an ordinary documentary, it's actually a comedy. When this movie was on television I absolutely wanted to watch it.Never have I ever seen a documentary that showed us the animal world in this way, but I have to say that I'm a big fan. I just loved the combination of the funny narration with the nice images and the music. It all worked perfectly and I had some great laughs several times. This could have been another boring documentary, but it wasn't. It was actually the best one I had seen in years. I give it an 8.5/10
guruB The best animal documentary you will ever watch. Funny and exciting. You will love every minute of it. Greatest fun I've had in years.Do not miss it. A classic in every sense.
