 Amazing collection!Jul 23, 2010
This is a must have DVD collection you should have for the entire family!. I recomend it to anyone interested in nature and our Beautiful Planet Earth!
Nature at its bestJul 23, 2010
If you love nature, you should purchase these series. It is as if you are there. No need to waste money and go for a holiday when you can be there by watching these series in a good HD/LED TV using Blu Ray!
These series are also very educative. I definately learnt a lot about nature. The best thing is that these series were also used to educate my children. Now, they do not have to memorise geography! Looked at many movies of 'nature' but nothing is comparable to these.
 life on planet earth from a certain point of viewJul 21, 2010
THis series certainly delves into the realm we as humans hardly see... the natural habitat of animal and plant life. However, I would like to see more understanding of the passion and link of animals to their families and ultimately their link to other species other than the predator eating and hunting its prey.... there are after all other drives such as those shown in films such as born free, Gorillas in the mist and the documentaries of jane goodall...The Horse Keeper: The Healing Gifts of Painting and Writing About HorsesAutumn of blessed Acres: Service Dog (Volume 1)Autumn of Blessed Acres, bolt and Lily service dogsThe Man Who Listens to Horses: The Story of a Real-Life Horse Whisperer

STUNNINGJul 19, 2010
It's amazing to realise that some of the scenes in 'Planet Earth' AREN'T computer generated, that they actually exist somewhere out there on this planet.
This series has it all, from the first ever intimate footage of snow leopards in the wild, to aerial footage revealing the strategy of a pack of hunting dogs; and from birds-of-paradise and their surreal ritual dances, to a pack of hunting sea snakes.
There is hilarious footage of a would-be rapist tree-frog trying to break up a mating couple, as well as more tender shots of pumas and polar bears teaching their young ones to hunt. One of the most eerie sequences features lions and elephants fighting at night around a waterhole. The sight of a pack of lions bringing an elephant down is unexpected and amazing.
Some of the habitats themselves are surreal, ranging from oceanic abysses populated by 'vampire squid' and other Lovecraftian organisms, to a hundred metre high mound of bat droppings, which is home sweet home for millions of cockroaches.
Each episode focuses on a different kind of environment (mountains, tropical forests, deserts etc.) and each features a mini-documentary at the end, revealing how the filming took place. I was amazed at the length some of the filmmakers went to, ranging from extreme tedium to extreme danger, with moments of humour in between.
'Planet Earth' is a truly stunning series, and reveals some of the majesty and infinite variety of the natural world.

Cost effectiveJul 15, 2010
You can't beat the price I paid for this complete set of DVD's. I paid quite a bit less than I would have purchasing the same set in a store or other online sites.
