Disney Oceans & Planet Earth: Encouraging Nature Appreciation

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around excitement for Disney's upcoming film "Oceans" and comparisons to the acclaimed BBC series "Planet Earth." Participants express admiration for nature documentaries, highlighting their role in fostering interest in nature and science among children. While some anticipate "Oceans," there are mixed feelings about its potential quality compared to the BBC series, with some suggesting that previous Disney releases, like "Earth," relied heavily on footage from "Planet Earth." Overall, there is a consensus that if "Oceans" can match even half the quality of "Planet Earth," it will be worthwhile, but skepticism remains regarding its originality and impact.

I adored the Discovery's Planet Earth series and Disney's Earth. Is anyone looking forward to Disney Oceans!? I can't wait, I will be at the midnight show! (jk). I think these shows and movies do a great service in getting kids and people interested in nature and science.

Awesome filming. Starts tomorrow too.
 
Nice, but after BBC series I have seen it is not that impressive.

We have the DVD set of Planet Earth. Our 3 kids (5, 7, and 9) absolutely love them.

If these are half as good as that series,

then Planet Earth was twice as good as Disney's Oceans

This is a really awkward statement. Basically all you're saying is that Oceans might be on bar with the BBC series? Oceans is not out yet btw.

If I were twice as intelligent as I am, I could understand half of what you wrote. :-p

The first disney movie, Earth, was mostly cut from the 2006 BBC series Planet Earth. I think this movie is new footage, though it could just be a rehashing of the BBC series Blue Planet. Either way, should be interesting.
