This four disc, ten-episode series is probably the best nature documentary ever produced in DVD format. In fact, Life of Mammals is reason alone to buy a DVD player if you don't have one. Here are a few reasons why I think people should shell out the money for this set: - David Attenborough's enthusiasm for his work. Watching him respectfully approach a poor-sighted anteater from downwind or barely able to contain his delight when floating a few meters away from a blue whale, Attenborough's love for the animal world is totally infectious. - The images are of IMAX quality. This is one of the most visually stunning films I've ever seen. - The soundtrack is top notch. - The Buffalo versus the Lions. This brief segment is mentioned in the Amazon reviewer's description - it has all the emotion and energy of the Cavalry Charge in 'The Return of the King.' It literally brought tears to my eyes. - Swimming Elephants. 'nuff said. - Kids love it. These films will keep kids (even as young as 2) quiet and totally absorbed in ways that no Blue or Builder Bob video can approach. - David keeps it light and entertaining. Each segment is short enough (40 minutes) and has plenty of amazing footage and humorous anecdotes so that it is nearly impossible to get bored of it all. Just don't watch more than one per day or you will spoil yourself. I give this series the highest recommendation. Even if you are not a nature buff (and chances are you will be after seeing this), it is certainly worth bringing into your home.Read full review
A true masterpiece of nature documentary with David Attenborough. Not only can you find excellent cinematography devised by adventurous film crew, but you will find yourself immersed in the daily life struggles of mammals. I saw this after running my first marathon and seeing that humans are made to run inspired me to run 5 more marathons.
David Attenborough and the BBC make world-class nature documentaries. Excellent product at a very reasonable price.
