In our house we like to watch anything that has to do with the earth or nature and recently we got a chance to review a copy of Frozen Planet. In addition to the DVD series we also received a cool penguin hat and some awesome cookies that the kids couldn’t get enough of.
From the Emmy-winning team behind Planet Earth and The Blue Planet: Seas of Life, this is the original 7-part BBC series, Frozen Planet, narrated by world-renowned naturalist Sir David Attenborough and including over 90 minutes of footage not shown on television plus over four hours of bonus materials!
Last Sunday it was a rainy day out so we all stayed in and made lunch with popcorn and cookies and watched the first DVD in the series which included The ends of the earth, Spring and Summer. It was about 3 hours long and Shae hung in for about an hour but Melinda, Sabreena, Shaun and I watch the whole first disc which was AWESOME. It is awesome to see animals like polar bears and killer whales close up in their natural habitat and it is amazing that people are able to brave the elements to catch this kind of footage.
Here is some additional details about Frozen Planet:
- Format:Blu-ray
- Run time:About 5 1/2 Hours
- Originally Aired On:Discovery Channel

My favorite from a long time ago and still is my favorite is: Mutual Of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom. That was a great show!
The only “nature” show we watch is dino dan and dora the explorer, none of which are really in the same genre.
I’d love to explore more of this though.
My family loves Planet Earth!
