Oceans!!!

For Earth Day, Disney put out a documentary out called Oceans. It's narrated by Pierce Brosnan and displays the ocean and it's creatures from all over the world. It was very informative and fun to watch. I am glad that I was able to see it on the big screen because the footage was amazing!


They captured whales, sea lions, dolphins, sharks, fish, lobsters and all sorts of other fish-like creatures in their natural habitats. They explained and showed how they live by finding food and fighting off predators. I have never seen anything like the things that this documentary showed. Since I am a big fan of the ocean, it was really awesome to see some of the things that go on under the sea. Some of the creatures shown resembled alien like creatures, with eye balls popping out of their heads and unique defense mechanisms.

My favorite parts to watch were of the dolphins and the sea lions. I love dolphins and want to swim with them one day, they just appear to be just energetic, peaceful creatures. The Sea Lions were adorable and just bum around. They interact with each other and share special bonds. Another part that I especially liked was when they showed a scuba diver next to a whale and even next to a shark. The whale was HUGE & the comparison of size next to a human being was good to see to understand how big some whales really are. Another amazing thing was that the shark was calm and swimming around with the scuba diver, rather than attempting to eat him. Some creatures really get a bad name due to situations where they are aggravated or feel threatened. I will still be scared of sharks, but from the footage I saw, maybe my fear will decrease a little bit.

The things that were shown in this film were AMAZING, many of which most people will never ever get to view first hand. I definitely recommend this film, even though it's a documentary. It's good for children and adults alike with interesting facts and images for all.
