In celebration of Earth Day, Babyboy and I went on a mommy & me date to see Oceans and WE LOVED IT.
The movie was breathtaking underwater adventure where the viewer explores the vast oceans and their amazing residents. Directors Jacques Cluzaud and Jacques Perrin captured the beauty and wildness of the OCEANS perfectly. I was in awe with how advanced underwater technology has evolved so we feel like we are swimming with all sorts of fish and marine life. Pierce Brosnan narrated this epic adventure and introduced us to a new underwater world.
The cinematography and imagery were breathtaking but I wanted more of a story. I would have liked the animals we met during the film had some sort of story behind them, something else to draw the audience in.
Instead, we are taken from one scene with whales, then another with a shark, then an octopus, then the coral reefs etc. Again, it was beautiful but a story with some kind of flow would have made this educational movie out of this world.
To add to the learning the next day, Eddy and I took Babyboy to the aquarium and he loved it! He recognized some of the sea animals and was so excited to see them. Like they were old friends! OCEANS took us on a journey and obviously left Babyboy with a sense that he has made new friends.
For 2010, Disneynature has partnered with The Nature Conservancy in hopes of raising funds to save hundreds of acres of endangered coral reefs in the Bahamas. 20 cents from our ticket helped Disney donate to preservation efforts.
Bravo Disneynature’s OCEANS !
