Dare To Compare Disney's Earth Movie And Planet Earth

Great lens, it makes people think and we so hate to think these days! I loved it.

Fantastic Debate Brenda! and an interesting topic. Blessed by a Squidoo Angel (if you want, you can add your link to my Angel lens)

I haven't really seen both. But reading through this lens, I'm enticed to watch and look over the similarities. Will come back on this lens when I do get to see both.Do visit my lens if you got the time. Thanks

:/why did i just rent this on demand?at first i was watching and i beganseeing things and predictingwhat was going to happen,then they came true.i was sitting here thinking,"am i paying to see what's forfree on discovery?" i was in disbelief!I AM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!i wouldn't mind if this6 bucks was going tosave the planet, but thatwas for the first week andthere were planting trees.really upset.i'm bored and have alreadyseen the whole series ofplanet earth. i'm deffinitelyupset with disney.

Great idea for a debate and for drawing in traffic. Blessed by a new Squid Angel today.

Does it really matter that the footage is the same? We forget each and every day how uniqe our planet is. We forget how in danger it is. So what if the footage is the same or even simaler, as long as people go to see it and keep in mind how special this planet is and how badly we as care takers really treat the only living thing that we know of in the universe. So get off your high attitudes and enjoy the wonders, then like Disney go do something to help save the only world any of us will ever know.

Exactly the same as planet earth series. Same footage and same music. different narrator. They're coming out with the "ocean edition" in 2010 which is the same as Planet Earth BBC series; again, with James E. Jones as narrator instead of some british unknown. If you want to see it now, buy the whole Planet Earth series for $100 instead of buying one piece at a time for $30.

I have not seen either but it's definitely next on my must see list!Is there a book I can add to my My Top 50 All time Favorite Books?

Cool lens. 5*s! Thanks for sharing! FREE Samples and Freebies

I have not seen either one. But in this age of recycling, somehow it does not surprise me or alarm me. Especially in a documentary type film. Interesting lens and conversation!

thanks for shedding some light on this. i don't much care, but i don't think i'll bother with the disney version now.

[in reply to Tabish] Did you even watch the credits? Or read the quote above by the co-director? This was a joint project between the BBC Network and Disney.

Excellent lens and welcome to the Wildlife Photography Group.

I've not seen either (we don't get the discovery channel because we don't have cable TV), but you've certainly sparked my interest in BOTH! 5 stars!

Yeah well, for me i felt completely cheated by the movie. I didn't really feel Disney ripping off scenes of some episdoes was a very ethical thing to do so. It was also narrated by a different person. The credit should've been given to the Award winning Alastair Fothergill and his team. Planet earth is most expensive Documentary that has ever been produced, and to see footage being taken out was just unjust, and a copyrights violation in my dictionary. Good thing i saw some Trailer of it, and was completely shocked. I am not really surpsied mind you, there's lots of things Disney has copied off other productions if you do some research. Lion king comes to mind right away. Just my $0.02 cents.
