This heartbreaking documentary puts a face on the sad statistics of global warming--and though it's not a human face, it's the perhaps even more effective face of an adorable polar bear cub, Nanu, along with her mother, her brother, and her natural enemy, the equally heart-melting Seela the walrus. With breathtaking footage of life on the arctic tundra, the directors spin a highly emotional tale of the melting ice caps and the effect of their disappearance on every species in the ecosystem. Since the film is essentially aimed at children, the cuteness factor is off the charts, aided by the slightly grating use of sound effects, a slangy voiceover by Queen Latifah, and a kid-friendly pop/folk soundtrack. And, as in a National Geographic special, viewers learn some interesting and neutral facts about polar bears, walruses, narwhals, foxes, and other northern creatures.

It's a safe bet that, if not for the unprecedented popularity of March of the Penguins, we wouldn't be seeing this National Geographic nature film on the big screen. The photography is impressive. Husband and wife filmmaking team Adam Ravetch and Sarah Robertson have drawn on eight years' spent filming in the arctic. The nephew of screenwriter Irving Ravetch (Hud), Adam Ravetch is a marine biologist and cameraman whose footage has been used in dozens of TV documentaries, including the BBC's... Read more
