    Words from the Ancient Tree Spirit

    The closest we get in the UK to a Miyazaki-style nature spirit is the kindly and ancient Attenborough, and finally he ushers the "Planet" franchise into the weeds of the plant world. I've been waiting for this series excitedly for about three or so years and it doesn't disappoint - any worries that non-animals would make for dry television are allayed the moment you see the seamless almost stop-motionlike presentation of plants in ultra-speed going about their business. It's mesmerising stuff like a tremendously serene lost Jan Svankmajer film and drifts through each biome revealing startling new things in each one. Here's hoping there are infinitely more planets to be revealed, even long after the tree spirit has departed this realm.

    Absolutely Amazing.

    I was watching the whole show with a little smile, like how amazing these phenomenons are and we don't even pay attention to these details. Amazing camera work.

    The Life of Plants

    The Green Planet gives us an insight into the world of plants, using groundbreaking timelapse footage to film them in motion as if they were animals. Like the rest of the "Planet" series it's extremely well made and is both educational and engaging.

    It goes without saying that Sir David Attenborough is an excellent narrator and it's nice to also see him on location once again for the first time in ages. The series seems to be something of a spiritual successor to his two previous plant focused documentaries "Kingdom of Plants" and "The Private Life of Plants". If like me you are fascinated by plant life and their secret world then this documentary series is definitely for you.

    Incredible

    The effort that is put into this documentary is unbelievable. Many shots have been taken in a way that is just jaw dropping!! You witness and feel plants like never before! And you start to appreciate the beauty, the harmony, the greatness and the complexity of one of God's masterpieces; The Plants.

    • Trivia
      Each episode when aired in the UK by the BBC, with no commercials, uses a one-hour time slot. This is because the format of each of the five episodes has a ten minute 'making of' segment at the end. However, for broadcast in other territories, these segments are removed to shorten each episode. They are assembled into a sixth episode dedicated to how the footage was shot.
    • Alternate versions
      Originally, comprises five, one hour long episodes, wherein the last ten minutes (approximately) of each are a 'behind the scenes' a.k.a. 'making of' segment. However, presumably for markets that insert commercials, these ten minute sections are removed from each episode, and strung together to make an extra sixth episode.
