Walt Disney Pictures is noted for their animation; but did you know that they are the forerunners of full length feature films about nature? Now included in their recent series of releases comes one of their most colorful nature films that I have ever seen,Oceans.
OCEANS: Filled with amazing shots of the world’s seven seas, I was amazed at what the camera could bring to the screen. The shots are so clear that I felt I could almost touch the sea life as it raced below the water. I especially like the tuna speeding along at a fast clip, the marvelous images of whales swimming along and my favorites, the dolphins. It’s an hour and 24 minutes of awe.
But the film is not just a show of color, it’s an adventure filled with comedy, drama and an education of the life in our seas.
The DVD has following additional bonus material:
- • “Make A Wave†Music Video – Disney’s Friends For Change music video featuring Joe Jonas & Demi Lovato.
- • Disney & Nature: Preserving the World We Share – Viewers get a deeper look into the conservation projects around the world being sponsored by The Walt Disney Company.
- • Deeper In The Ocean – 5 pods from the Blu-ray Living Menus and Filmmaker Annotations that go behind-the-scenes taking a deeper look at the filmmakers, locations and animals that make up Disneynature OCEANS.
The Blu-ray disc has everything the DVD has plus:
- • Living Menus – Explore the oceans of the world on an interactive globe. Through BD-Live, new video pods and pop-up facts will be accessible as they become available, hosted by the world’s leading conservationists and the Disneynature OCEANS filmmakers.
- • Filmmaker Annotations – This in-movie feature is a viewing mode that allows consumers to watch behind-the-scenes footage of the film being made and hear stories from the crew who spent several years making the film around the world.
Editor’s Note: For every Oceans disc purchased (DVD or Blu-ray combo pack) through October 25, 2010, Disneynature will make a contribution to The Nature Conservancy to continue preserving coral reefs in The Bahamas where a segment of the film was made.
