Disneynature: Oceans (Two-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo)

After viewing this I was more inspired by the ocean. Excellent photography makes me feel like I'm really there under the powerful, crashing waves. The ocean is really a mysterious, fascinating, and oh, sooooo colorful, and beautiful! I knew it is, but after seeing this film, I discovered it is more beautiful than I could imagine! The animals, the life in the ocean is just exquisite...from the tiniest lifeforms to the largest whales. You would not know such beauty and grace before seeing this. It will leave you in awe. One part is shown which is not beautiful, and which is actually not part of the oceans natural realm. It is man-made-which is plastic. Millions of tons of plastic ends up in our oceans year after year. Our plastic is destroying life in the sea, and contaminating the water. Plastic never biodegrades or dissolves. It keeps breaking down into smaller and smaller pieces. Fish and birds, along with many other marine animals eat this plastic mistaking it for plankon or tiny shrimp like food. A larger fish will come along and eat the previous one-who has eaten the plastic. That's how it goes up the food chain. Humans are on top of that chain. When we eat fish, we are getting those chemicals of plastic back into our system. It is a shame what man has done to our own oceans, our planet which it the only planet we've got. For our oceans and all it contains to remain alive and beautiful for future generations to see, we must act now and fix what we've started, before it's too late. All our life depends on clean and healthy oceans, on water, and the fish we eat from it. If you can imagine an ocean without life someday, then you can also imagine a world without humans-due to our own destruction. I highly recommend this film. It will open your eyes, and hearts. To inspire you to want to keep the beauty the way it should be. This film did for me. We now must think about how much fish we catch. We should stop overfishing. Only catch what we really need-and no more. We also must think before we throw something away, and how we dispose of it. You never know. What we throw, may soon end up where we want it the least.Over all, again, an excellent film for both children and adults. It is for all ages. I recently discovered that the talented actor, Pierce Brosnan is actually very much involved with ocean/marine conservation. He is the narrator of this film and makes it very simple and strait forward-easy to understand for all ages. I gained a lot of respect and appreciation for him. God Bless him. I'm sure you would wish him the same. And God Bless all of you. In hopes that this video inspires you to make a change in how we live to make the ocean continue to live. I read somewhere recently that the oceans are the lungs of our planet. It is a good way to put it. It is true. It can not breath without our part.

At first glance I thought this movie was just rehashed footage from the series Blue Planet, or Planet Earth...I was wrong. This is not like Disney Natures Earth movie which was recycled footage from The BBC series Planet Earth, this is all new, breathtaking, gorgeous underwater footage. In my opinion, one of the most artistic beautiful nature films I have seen...and I have seen tons! This is also one of the best films to show off HD TV picture quality and sound! I did notice the look of the footage has been altered to give it a more cinematic look. it is almost like they applied some kind of filter to bleach out the whites and give the blues a richer tint. This might bother some purists, but I think it really enhances the mood of the film. Most modern nature films are altered in some way. The only negative of the film was the awful pop song in the end credits that does not fit in at all with the rest of the film...why Disney...why did you do that to this film? Oh well, at least it's only for the credits.I rented this movie through netflix, but I liked it so much I decided to cruise over to Amazon and buy it. Man, the price of these disney nature movies are really up there! I also wanted to buy "The Crimson Wing" another great Disney nature film, but these are both in the $26-29 dollar range...What the heck disney! I can buy the whole Planet Earth or Life series for a few dollars more (If I didn't already have them). Disney is one of the few companies that could afford to drop prices a bit, but I guess that's what made them as big as they are today. I may have to buy these used or get them on ebay. I wish bluray prices would come down a bit.Anyways, the film is great, and I can't wait to see "African Cats" in 2011!

At best, just a cursory glance at oceans in general, they weren’t interested in providing facts or details. As Pierce Brosnan ponderously observed in his hypnotic narration, oceans are vast and loud and occupied by sea life, here’s a few........... It’s basically a wet travelogue. The photography is stunning. And for good measure, they toss in a few ecological comments. “Human indifference is surely the ocean’s greatest threat.”I especially loved the disclaimer presented at the conclusion: “no animals were harmed in the making of this film.” Tell that to the baby turtles gobbled up by a flock of birds or the sea lions that sharks swallowed whole. Define “harmed.”An interesting glimpse at the water that encompasses most of this planet. Unfortunately, after it was over I was still left with no greater understanding of the oceans than I had when I started watching this film. But it did point out, quite graphically, what it’s like being the food part of the food chain.

I would watch this movie a thousand times; the audio is the best possible thing that come to my mind for trying out sound setups.

Beautiful, colorful under the ocean scenery!And a lot of Unusual marine life!

The oceans are fascinating places full of SO many secrets and enigmas to discover, filled with so many aquatic flora and fauna to see, even perhaps lost civilizations that sank beneath the waves in the ancient times, other than sunken ships full of treasure and the supposedly fabled ancient cities of Atlantis, Lemuria, and Ys in their respective fabled places.

Daughter loved it

My rating is based on seeing this movie on TV and I was instantly fascinated about what goes on underwater. I bought the DVD for my 4 year old grandson who has a fascination for ocean life. I also bought him National Geographic Kids Ocean book which he is so proud to own.I would recommend this movie to kids of all ages. Can't wait to visit and watch it with him.

In my opinion, Ocean is an audio masterpiece, taking advantage of an HIFI system like I rarely experienced it. Picture wise, you'll see some of the most breathtaking sea footage ever taken on camera. My 2yo son asked for this movie dozens of times and I'm surprized to see how easily I get swept in its beauty and nicely paced montage.

I bought this for our grandson for a Christmas gift. Although I have not had any feedback, I am assuming it was a great documentary.I bought it because of the long standing good reputation Disney's films.

Very cool show
