The frozen Arctic is home to polar bears and walruses, two very different types of animals whose struggle to survive against the elements is only being made more difficult by a changing climate. Directors Adam Ravetech and Sarah Robertson filmed walruses and polar bears in the Arctic for 15 years in order to create this amazing story about the lives of Nanu the baby polar bear and a newborn walrus dubbed Seelah. Striking footage from land and sea is combined with effective narration by Queen Latifa and pop music by Joby Talbot to chronicle these creatures' lives from the babies' first days of existence, through two years of training in hunting and fighting by their respective mothers and the changes in the icy world that are necessitating new adaptations by these animals, and a contemplation of the chances of both species' continued survival. Like March of the Penguins, the footage of the animals of the Arctic and the formation and breaking up of the ice is exquisite, but perhaps even more striking is the clear evidence of climate change in the delayed formation of the ice in the autumn and its progressively earlier thawing and breaking up each spring. The polar bears' and walruses' resilience and instinctual ability to adapt and change in the face of the negative effects of global warming in order to survive is stressed, and viewers are left pondering why man cannot similarly adapt and change his ways in order to positively affect the world. Bonus features include an interesting "making of" featurette with Adam Ravetech and Sarah Robertson that describes their travels, trials, and enormous gratitude for the assistance of the Intuit people and a fun Are We There Yet? World Adventure: Polar Bear Spotting mini-adventure for kids in which Molly and Sam go looking for polar bears in a tundra buggy. (Ages 5 and older) --Tami Horiuchi

 Great Documentary June 23, 2008

I am not a person who is very in touch with the environment, but I do enjoy nature documentaries. I am always amazed at the information you can learn from a half hour program on the Discovery Channel or an hour and a half movie such as "Arctic Tale."
"Arctic Tale" really opened my eyes to the damage being done in the Arctic. The story of the animals was very interesting, but that is clearly not the point of the film. The point of this documentary is to inform us that the animals living in the Arctic are affected by our actions.
Perhaps the most interesting tidbit of knowledge to pick up on when watching this film is that there may not be ice in the Arctic come 2040. Watch the credits as kids, yes kids, give useful tips to us adults on how we can help change the world for the better.
Politics aside, it's still a touching tale May 14, 2008

If you love animals or liked March of the Penguins you will probably like this movie. The visuals are excellent. It's not as good as March of the Penguins, but it was still very good. It was interesting to see the lives of walrus' and polar bears. I didn't realize walrus' could be so selfless and devoted. A great one for any child or adult.
 Mom and 5 year old loved the movie May 4, 2008

I rented this movie. I never thought my five year old would sit through the whole thing due to the documentary style. Not only did she but asked to watch it again for several days. It was honest and informative with scientific information. Some reviews stated they were upset that scientific information such as global warming is present in the movie. It is present and it is science and the movie was a wonderful experience.

Anyone who says this movie has a liberal agenda is out of touch with what is going on in the natural world. The film is excellent because it shows how the struggle for survival is becoming more difficult for Arctic animals since the ice is forming later and later each year and to a much lesser degree. The movie ended on a very positive note encouraging kids and adults to change the way they live in order to protect our planet. The movie's message was, what we do in our homes and lives effects how these animals live in their homes. The movie is beautifully filmed and touched my husband and I so much we plan on donating our surplus check to environmental groups working to protect the Arctic. The film is so moving and inspiring for kids. I am a teacher and I plan on showing it to my class as well.

I like this film and after watcing I love it more. This's a masterpiece for the story of the nothern pole, where we may not go there in our lifetime. This's a ducumentary film which took many years. The cinematography is amazing. Photographers did really great job. This's not like TV predetor series at all, it has beautiful stories; polar bear and walrus mainly and other lives in Arctic. I learned their life in Arctic a lot which was very interesting. It shows the true life beautifully. And also we learn what happened to the northern pole.
Polar bears movement are fascinating; feeding, swimming, making a hole...etc.
Special features of director is also fun to watch.
I watch this together with my son. Since he is too young to watch it alone, so I talk with him.
