Rating: 2.5/5 -- Visually striking but not a nature documentary for people who like their wildlife presented with the emphasis on knowledge and information, rather than on story, cuteness and anthropomorphism. Full Review

Rating: 4/5 -- The narrative lags some way behind the beautiful nature photography and the comical majesty of the meerkat on guard, poking his head above a hidey-hole like a periscope over a parapet. These pictures don't really need any words. Full Review

Rating: 4/5 -- A movie guaranteed to enchant all. Mind you, with a cast this cute, they couldn't really fail. Full Review
Daily Mirror (UK)
Aug 11, 2009
Rating: 3/5 -- The beauty and intimacy of the material they so painstakingly captured ultimately overrides the mawkish score and sentimental narration. Full Review

Aug 7, 2009
Rating: 3/5 -- Like the real-life natural-world Disney features of yesteryear, there's a huge amount of entertainment to be had, especially for kids, although the imposition of a story and the attribution of various emotions to the creatures can get slightly cloying. Full Review

A film that is entertaining, informative and filled with irresistibly cute critters. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- "Even the wind has dust in its eyes," remarks Newman, at an especially weepy bit. Others may have trouble keeping them open. Full Review
