Excellent visuals, and being the Disney channel I can understand the level of narration, maybe targeting younger children... oh, sometimes the predator does get the prey.... all in all, not bad...
Maybe the most creative, beautiful and dynamic aerial shots I've ever seen, not just in a nature documentary but in every media ever. The animal roster is fine, though a bit too much of the most famous species like grizzlies. Man, they are getting really boring now. Seeing a bear catch salmon was fun in the first 50 documentaries they are in, but after that, it gets repetitive whether the cinamtography is creative or not. It's a shame that the creators of nature shows like this don't think that fish, amphibians, reptiles or insects are just as (or more) interesting as a bear or a lion or an elephant. This series lacks these groups, focusing too much on mammals and birds (mostly mammals).
But it's okay, I can't judge a show by the animals it features, so the only negative point is because of the narration. It is just cringe. Especially the totally random "heroes". "This squirrel is hero because it exists. This bear is a hero because it has eaten a fish." - and this is not an exaggeration. The narration is so very far from the beautifully written Attenborough stuff. When I was a kid, I was inspired by his work in every possible way, so I just can't imagine that a goofy narration like the one in this series is needed to get the attention of children.

Given that it's done by National Geographic and Disney, it's no wonder it comes off as a modern take on Disney True Life Adventures. The photography is flawless and stunning, but the narration is more anthropomorphized feel good aimed at elementary school kids than actual scientific education. That's not necessarily a bad thing if it gets kids interested in nature and caring for the planet.
What's with the "heroes" stuff?? I don't get it. It's such dumb dialogue.
As others have said, the narration is a bit corny and better for kids. But ironically, this documentary doesn't show up in kids profiles on Disney+.
It's still wonderful to look at. I think we've just all been spoiled by Attenborough. Michael D. Jordan is a talented actor but just an OK narrator.
Nevertheless, you'll enjoy this series, and it's fun to watch as a family. Just try not to tolle your eyes too much when Jordan describes every animal in existence as "hero."
These animals are not heroes. They are merely living their lives based on instinct.

1. Awesome videography
2. Jordan's voice is so clear and soothing
3. Kid friendly video ( so no oh **** change channel surprises.
4. Yes, animal world is cruel, but then we don't need to show all the cruelty in all videos. Kids just can't handle it.
If you are looking for a kid friendly animal series that you can show to your kids to learn about animal planet, then you found one.
I hope Disney soon makes few more like this.
