This is a very informative DVD that I got for my kids. THere is some natural predatory violence, but what do you expect in a DVD about the Serengeti? Very well done!
Excellent documentary December 8, 2007

How could you go wrong with James Earl Jones doing the narration? I have the standard version of this disc. It was one of the earliest to transfer to dvd. It came in a cd size case (eventually the size of the case was enlarged to prevent confusion with cds). Having both versions made it possible to do a comparison. What a difference the high definition (Blue Ray) version makes. It's like night and day. The HD version is much sharper, clearer and colorful, just what you would expect from the new HD format. I wanted to toss the sd version in the trash but I'll keep it to show folks the difference between HD and SD movies.
The sd version had so much LFE (bass) that I had to turn the sub down quite a bit. In fact, it has too much LFE. The Blue Ray disc has a much appreciated toned down version. As far as the movie goes, it does an excellent job of showing the great migration of animals in Africa. I am a big fan of "nature documentaries." and this is one of the best. It is not too long or too short but when I get into a good documentary such as this, I always wish it wouldn't end.
 A glorified TV animal documentary October 27, 2007

Kinda boring. Like a nature show on TV.
The IMAX experience sadly lacking.
Even the scenery is sorta bland. Lots of savanna land, and aerial shots of savanna land, and animals running on savanna land. Animals mating, and eating one another in the savanna. Rivers flowing through savanna land. The director also goes a bit overboard with the fish-eye lens on the camera.
Perhaps the film is mis-titled? How about, ''Gnu's of the Savanna?"
National Geographic puts this one to shame.
nice video, little short October 25, 2007

I just got back from my own african safari and i wanted to order this to see how it stacked up. Aside from its short length (a little over 30 mins), the DVD was wonderful. I was in Africa for the Great Migration and this video is true to every aspect of the migration. I would recommend this video to anyone looking to see what the experience is really like, either before or after going in person.
