    Emotionally attached

    It's great documentary and let our next generation how human destroy the globe and how we direct and indirectly make species extinct. It's really good material to let kids watch this and educational. Polar bear probably the most lonely animals in this planet.

    [8.5] Not all males are alike!

    A semi-great documentary on polar bears, being a little too soft and lollipop, having a narrator who's asleep half of the time and sort of failing to fully and adequately deliver its alarming message throughout the course of the story. Nevertheless, it is instructive and I liked it.

    That is not David Attenborough quality, that's Disneynature one!

    Great film!!!

    That was a real tear-jerker. I hope everyone who watched it signed the petition at the end. I know I did. People should care more about these issues then their dogs or celebrities or other Hollywood drama's when the real ones unfolding right in front of their eyes.

    Disney's take on Polar Bears and Global Warming

    Since it was released on Earth Day you would expect some take on Global Warming. Not to discount previous reviews and opinions, it is a well presented documentary that I enjoyed watching. I plan on sharing it with my students in the near future. The film follows a mother Polar Bear and her two cubs through the perils of growing up and hunting in the polar north. There are comments made periodically throughout the film of the effects of Global Warming on the ice regions. Critics on both sides will argue for and against the presentation and validity of Global Warming in Polar Bears. I urge you to watch for the Polar Bears.

    Awful voice over

    For such an accomplished piece of animation it's assured that the script is so lousy and the narrator so dreadful.

    Nothing else to say. Needed a proper voice actor, not a celebrity or whatever she is.

    Ended up turning the sound off. Poor show!
