User Reviews

For a Sequel, it is Very Good

With Morgan Freeman returning as the narrator, how could this film fail? It was surprising to find out that Disneynature had a hand in creating this film. Just too bad it didn't get a theatrical release in the U.S. Instead, it was a Hulu exclusive.

And furthermore, is not available on DVD in the United States as of this writing. That's too bad, because a great many people will miss this gem. If you have the means, try to get a copy of the region 2 DVD.
