It is called "Microcosmos" and it too is incredible. It up close photography of bugs in action. No narration, so no evolutionary garbage. It is visually fascinating.

It's incredible - even if you're not into birds. It's a slice of life you likely have never seen before.<BR/><BR/>It's nice to see you recommending this.Carla Rolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395062089776262435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12723103.post-1124694422769156322005-08-22T00:07:00.000-07:002005-08-22T00:07:00.000-07:00Don't worry too much; I highly doubt that recomend...Don't worry too much; I highly doubt that recomending a subtitled, French, nature film about rare birds qualifies as a pop-culture reference. <BR/>No offense, but I think I'll stick to the "Crocodile Hunter" and "When good circus animals go bad"Pecadillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15579408978628986608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12723103.post-1124694249595535322005-08-22T00:04:00.000-07:002005-08-22T00:04:00.000-07:00Hmmm, I wish I had seen this post before spending ...Hmmm, I wish I had seen this post before spending $30 on "March of the Penguins". After my family and I paid movie prices to see a "decent" movie in the theater setting we left asking why we didn't simply turn on Animal Planet and save the money.<BR/><BR/>This sounds infinitely better. If there were no silly anthropomorphisms in the French bird film, it will easily be better, no doubt.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for breaking your rule of thumb!Scott M.
