05/23/2022 Amazing movie! Must save the polar bears!!! See more Aldo32ify R @Quinto 05/05/2022 This show might not be too bad, but the narrator is atrocious. See more 04/22/2022 It was a really enjoyable and very entertaining Disneynature film. It had very well done cinematography, really great characters, really wonderful narration, really fantastic adventure, really good humor, really phenomenal drama, really wondrous music and a very great story. In my opinion, I think it’s one of the best Disneynature movies I’ve ever watched in my whole life. I really recommend this movie to kids and adults alike. See more Read all reviews
