Wildlife best documentaries,
20 December 2006 | by buzonpedroSee all my reviews

I remember when I was a child seeing David Attenborugh BBc documentaries , fascinated sitting in my sofa.

This is another excellent new Attenborough documentary, I am surprised not to find more comments about Attenborough BBC films. It's a different style, it's other kind of TV, it's closer to art, or novels. It's simple. artistic and deep It's artistic and abstract, changes themes and the plot of the screenplay looking for a different wildlife overviews.

It is a musical and complex docu film and very simple too, uses the scientist concepts and artistic wonderful language which every can understand and gets quickly people attention. I am worried about not to find 10000 votes, I expected to find perhaps not less than 1000 IMDb votes. On other hand I have a question for anybody who read this comment ¿ are Yang Tse dolphins who appear in one of this episodes? I am very sad to listen that could be almost extinct.
