Ours Polaire

Since it was released on Earth Day you would expect some take on Global Warming. Not to discount previous reviews and opinions, it is a well presented documentary that I enjoyed watching. I plan on sharing it with my students in the near future. The film follows a mother Polar Bear and her two cubs through the perils of growing up and hunting in the polar north. There are comments made periodically throughout the film of the effects of Global Warming on the ice regions. Critics on both sides will argue for and against the presentation and validity of Global Warming in Polar Bears. I urge you to watch for the Polar Bears.

Have you ever watched a film that left you filled with so much emotion that it rendered you speechless? Disneynature's new Earth Day film Polar Bear has done just that. As a huge advocate for nature, I appreciate this film so much and truly believe that this just may be the film that inspires us all to create the environmental change that can save our planet.

This nature documentary follows the life journey of a mother polar bear and her two cubs. This brave mother navigates through some of the roughest and most dangerous ecosystems on our planet while teaching her cubs all about survival. Environmental changes over the years, however, have negatively impacted these ice bears resulting in an even greater struggle for existence. If these creatures are to survive in this modern world, they must learn to adapt and to pass new survival skills to their offspring which we are able to witness in Polar Bear.

Although the film is so heartfelt and difficult to watch at times, its footage is exactly what we need for a call to action because it creates awareness. If people are unaware of the causes and consequences of climate change, we can't fix it. Directors Alastair Fothergill and Jeff Wilson have created a masterpiece filled with the most breathtaking scenes with each one serving to educate viewers. The cinematography is so captivating, and I especially love the aerial footage. Actor Catherine Keener adds a special touch to the film with her first-person narration of the female cub who shares how the memories of growing up alongside her courageous mother helped to shape her own motherhood.

The message in Polar Bear is about conservation awareness and a need for global commitment to make change. I'm hoping that this film's message inspires others to think more about nature and what would happen if ecosystems were lost forever. Polar Bear also sends the message of the importance of strong family bonds and how for some species, these bonds are critical for survival.

I give Polar Bear 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 5 to 18. Adults, especially nature lovers, will also love this film. Polar Bear begins streaming exclusively on Disney+ on Earth Day, April 22, 2022. Mark your calendars and spread the word, this is a film that you don't want to miss!

That was a real tear-jerker. I hope everyone who watched it signed the petition at the end. I know I did. People should care more about these issues then their dogs or celebrities or other Hollywood drama's when the real ones unfolding right in front of their eyes.

Really unique film on polar bears and their experiences. Films looks like it took years and years to make and a lot of effort. Very much enjoyed it - save the polar bears!!

It's great documentary and let our next generation how human destroy the globe and how we direct and indirectly make species extinct. It's really good material to let kids watch this and educational. Polar bear probably the most lonely animals in this planet.
