Q&A: The highs and lows of filming Disney's 'Earth'
Q. Tell us about the genesis of the movie and how it differs from the BBC series Planet Earth, which supplied about 60% of the footage.
A. We had the movie commissioned at the same time as the television series, so we were able to work on both projects in parallel. From the very beginning, we had a separate script and plan for the movie, (which) was going to tell this extraordinary story of the sun and its seasonal influence on the planet through the eyes of three key characters: the polar bears in the north, the elephants in the tropics and the humpback whales taking us from the tropics to Antarctica to complete the journey.

I saw the documentary last night. It is called "Disney's" but it seems like the BBC had a big part in it. Basically the whole film is narrated from start to finish going through the seasons and types of climates around the world and how animals cope. The best thing about this film is the captions, photography and cinematography. They must have had to take days just for one of those shots - possibly weeks or even months. Definitely recommended, especially to give children a respect for the animal life around us.

I did enjoy it but I felt like I could have watched in on National Geographic channel.
