OUR REVIEW

This is an amazing series. I was surprised at how excited the kids were when it arrived in the mail for us to review. I watched it over the past week with the kids and we have learned SO MUCH! My boys (ages 8 and almost 10) were captivated by Frozen Planet. They have done an incredible job of showing the animals and the scenery right up close. The high quality of the blu-ray just makes everything look so amazing. Even my daughter (age 5) was fascinated by a lot of it!

I loved that Frozen Planet is a series and we were able to watch it a little at a time. We were able to take our time and talk about what we had learned as well. Even thought we have watched the whole series we could easily watch it several more times and not get bored. This is an all around excellent series.

This is a wonderful series to watch any time but especially as we celebrate Earth Day.
