March of the Penguins * * * *
The theatrical release was awesome, but the DVD is better yet. Along with the incredible photography and narration of the feature film, the DVD offers additional short features. The first is a French naturalist who has been monitoring the Penguin population in Antarctica with concerns about how global warming is effecting their habitat. The 2nd short is "the making of", narrated by the men who filmed the Penguins, and in it's own way is as fascinating as the feature film.I checked with the IMDB, and discovered that in the various versions produced for the world audience, (Germany, France, Taiwan, Japan) there are differences in the script and the editing. If I can get a copy of the European version, I will update this blog with details on the differences. They seem to think their version is more artful than the one made for the US market.
The bottom line is... this is a must see movie. You will have a new respect for these wonderful creatures who have adapted to one of the harshest environments on the planet.
