Planet Earth



One of the items under the tree this year: the complete series of the BBC's Planet Earth, narrated by David Attenborough. As far as nature films go, this is certainly among the best I've ever seen. If you have any appreciation at all for the art, it will blow your mind, and if you have HD DVD or Blu-Ray, you'll definitely want to go with a high def version.

From the box:

"With an unprecedented production budget of $25 million, and from the makers of Blue Planet: Seas of Life, comes the epic story of life on Earth. Five years in production, over 2,000 days in the field, using 40 cameramen filming across 200 locations, shot entirely in high definition, this is the ultimate portrait of our planet. A stunning television experience that captures rare action, impossible locations and intimate moments with our planet's best-loved, wildest and most elusive creatures. From the highest mountains to the deepest rivers, this blockbuster series takes you on an unforgettable journey through the daily struggle for survival in Earth's most extreme habitats. Planet Earth takes you to places you have never seen before, to experience sights and sounds you may never experience anywhere else. "

Excellent!
