Basically this "Disney" movie is an "Animal Planet" documentary shot with more sophisticated equipment and in better picture quality.
It shows the first vital periods of flamingos' life since hatching from an egg in a remote African area. There are many interesting shots capturing these birds as they struggle to survive the odds, but after some time it gets repetitive and boring.
The narrator was rather annoying as well, making childish comparisons and talking about fairy tales, whereas I would have appreciated more given data and the scientific approach.
Therefore, nothing groundbreaking or faint-inducing.
