A Turtle's Tale: Sammy's Adventure (2D + 3D) [DVD]

Great fun to watch for very young children

Ok everyone who has a 3D tv and 3D bluray needs to get this. This is the best 3D movie ever. If you love 3D that literally comes off the screen from the very start, you will love and have to have this in your collection. I saw this in the cinema after being blown away by the trailer. This to me is the only 3D bluray that can test the range of your new 3D bluray player. The whole movie is in proper stand out 3D, this is the 3D i love. Without being too gimmicky(and what's wrong with that?) the 3D draws you into this marine world of Sammy's and the dangers of the deep. Ben Strassen used to direct the big screen IMAX movies in 3D. He has always been a pioneer of 3D long before James Cameron revealed his own in-depth 3D with Avatar. My fave movie that Strassen did was Encounters in the third Dimension which featured the beautiful Elvira. It was a short movie. Then he broke into feature length 3D movies with Fly me to the moon which was brilliant in 3D, now he has another great 3D movie under his directors belt. A turtle tale is a story that both kids and adults will love. The story follows a young turtle called Sammy from his birth when he breaks out of his egg (this scene is perfect for kids, they will reach out and want to help the little Sammy during this scene, even i did) to his adult life and finally to his older life. All the time, you have water almost coming over the screen, it actually looked like it would flood the floor outside the TV. Sharks swim right at you, Piranhas come out at you, in a way that would put Piranha 3D to shame. Snakes slither out of the screen and even the turtles swam at you and away from you. This movie is an absolute 3D treat and so un to watch. But this movie also carries a message and it is an ecological one. One that does need to be taken notice of. When a film makes you ashamed of being a human, you know that it has done something right. This has been dubbed so many times for americans, french (where it originates from) and this british version. This contains some great british actors starting with the great John Hurt as Sammy when he's older. Giving the wisdom of an older turtle and telling the story as the adventure unfolds, Strassen has the younger Sammy voiced by Dominic Cooper (from the devil's double and Mamma Mia) while the love interest is played exceptionally by the lovely Gemma Alterton (Prince of Persia, Clash of the titans (2009) and St trinians. Along the way they meet some strange yet unforgettable characters,one of which had me in stitches. You will know who she is when you see her (small spoiler! she fights a shark that attacks her). This is a film for all ages and it is not too sickly for adults either. I throughly enjoyed watching this and it is easily my fave 3D film I have on 3D bluray.

My favourite cartoon in all times. Such a real and meaningful storyline that me and my toddler watch it over and over. Worth every penny to have the cd

I really like it for my 3yo! It's been his first adventure film.However, there are just a couple of 'scary' moments that we sometimes skip on demand, and the female role could be as determined as the male one.It is totally environmentalist and educational, which is what I was looking for.

Arrived quickly and was as expected.

IF YOU WANT TO TEST OUT YOUR 3D TV THEN THIS FILM IS ONE TO DO IT WITH! THIS FILM HAS ALOT OF POP! OUT! 3D WHICH I THINK SHOULD BE IN ALL 3D FILMS THERE IS A LACK OF THIS POP OUT IN FILMS TODAY WHY? WHY? BECAUSE 3D SHOULD BE IN YA FACE POP OUT AND THIS FILM IS ONE OF THE BEST FOR DOING THIS! AVATAR IS GOOD BUT ITS NOT POP OUT? HERE IS A TIP FOR YOU TO TRY OUT WHEN WATCHING A 3D FILM! WHEN YOU GET TO A POP OUT PART! PAUSE IT! AND GO FARME BY FRAME ITS LIKE HAVING A 3D PICTURE OR SCREEN SAVER IN YA ROOM! AWESOME! THERE IS A PART IN THIS FILM WITH A SNAKE AND IT'S ONE OF THE BEST 3D MOMENTS EVER! PAUSE IT! LOVE IT!:) PS SUPPORT ME AND MY MUSIC BY SUBSCRIBING TO MY YOUTUBE PAGE..

I bought this item as it is advertised as 2d & 3d. It is. The packaging only says 3d, and as I was concerned that we don't have the right equipment to watch in 3d, I loaded the disc.You have to choose 2d / 3d from the menu once you have selected play film.The dvd comes with 2 pairs of 3d glasses in the box. Tried watching with these in 3d - don't! Everything looked black and white with a slight pink colour wash. The film was much better in 2d - on my tv anyway. But, as I said, I don't have a 3d tv. This is the reason I have only given 3 stars.Otherwise, a great film, but for me it was much better in 2d.Apr 2012. Now have 3d TV, and this film does not show in 3d. If you are buying for the 3d film, then get the blu-ray 3d as this is the only way it seems to work in 3d.

Excellent 3D movie for the little ones

Super film les enfants l adore

Histoire sympa pour passer un bon moment

My kids LOVE this movie and frankly it's done well enough that I actually don't mind repetitive viewings.There are people saying this is a no go of a film for sensitive kids. My 5 yo is VERY sensitive, but all we needed to do was pause the movie and talk about it a little and then it was fine. There is peril in the ocean for many critters and I think this movie handles it well for the younger set. We opted for this over Nemo because I knew my kids would have nightmares about the big grinning shark (sharks in Turtle Tale were a little scary but not as bad as Nemo or Reef).To the people saying that this film is trying to indoctrinate kids about evil humans and Green Peace...remember that this movie is told in flashback from the viewpoint of a 50 year old turtle. He isn't throwing propaganda, he's simply remembering the details of his experience through the decades when many of us humans used to think nothing of dumping all manner of stuff in the ocean and other groups of us were fairly militant about protecting our natural resources. It's Sammy turtle's life experience and history through his eyes. And it's not a bad thing to show our kids the mistakes we've made with our planet and help them see te benefit of trying to keep it clean.

très bon film pour enfant.

Kurz vorweg - dies ist mein erster echter 3D Film auf Bluray - und ich bin B.E.G.E.I.S.T.E.R.T !Um ferner im Voraus ein paar Klischees mehr oder weniger oder gar nicht zu bedienen - ich habe die 30 überschritten, und bin männlich, und habe mir den Film das 1. alleine angeschaut. :-)Den Film als solches habe ich schon einige Male vorher in 2D auf DVD gesehen, und fand' ihn absolut genial - ganz und gar nicht kitschig.Wer halt auf Filme aus seiner Kindheit wie z.B. Lion King oder artverwandte Movies wie z.B. Findet Nemo! steht, wird diesen Film lieben.Sicher - hier und da sind solche Titel wie Sammy's Abenteuer, auch und gerade weil's Animation ist, wohl eher etwas für Fans.Die Story ähnelt den o.a. Titeln etwas (Hauptdarsteller ist auf der Suche nach etwas, auf dem Weg zum Ziel viele Abenteuer, eine "Message" wird rübergebracht etc.) und ist m.E. nach ganz und gar nicht langweilig. Von der Länge her absolut annehmbar, auch die Soundtracks im Film (gerade von Bruno Mars und Mammas & Pappas) sind absolut passend.Animation absolut sauber (Lob ans Studio!), perfekte Tiefenschärfe des 3D (habe mir den Film in 3D gekauft, weil viele diesen Titel als Referenz für 3D LCD/LED TV's empfehlen) und waaaaaaaahnnnnsinnnnnnniiiigggggggggg viele Popouts - absolut endgeil. FSK 0 für 3D Filme, selbst diesen hier, finde ich NICHT passend - gibt einige Szenen, gerade mit den Popouts gepaart, wo es Vorschulkinder verschrecken wird. Lieber FSK 6 oder so - zwar für mich nicht relevant, aber zur Sicherheit erwähnt. Zwar wird generell empfohlen, 3D Technik Kindern unter 6 Jahren nicht zugänglich zu machen - von wegen Sehzentrum noch nicht vollständig ausgebildet - aber "man muss ja mitreden". :-PKlare Kaufempfehlung, nicht nur allein für die "Steh-so-oder-so-auf-3D" Enthusiasten unter Euch! Kaufen, kaufen, kaufen!P.S. Abgeschlossenes Ding, wie ich finde - soll ja gegen Ende des Jahres einen zweiten Teil geben. Hmmmm. Muß nicht wirklich sein.
