DISNEY earth

This film is an A++ for cinematography and stunning visuals. Remarkable footage.  Phenomenal time-lapse photography.  From a close up shot of delicate cherry blossoms blooming to a panoramic view of a hillside blooming in tandem with the sun's passing.  Followed by the explosion of fall colors spilling across a hillside. Truly remarkable.  And the great white shark? Two words: holy shit!

And kudos to the brilliant casting director for enlisting the talents of James Earl Jones.  None better than he could have narrated this film. His commanding, God-like voice is ideal for the majesty of this film.

When I asked my son if he recognized the actor's voice who was narrating, I thought certain he would say Darth Vader, if not Mufasa.  But no, he thought it was Willy Wonka's dad (Burton version) portrayed by Christopher Lee.  LOL, It's a new generation.
