Entertainment Reviews:
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.

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.

A movie guaranteed to enchant all. Mind you, with a cast this cute, they couldn't really fail.

Rating: 3/5 --
The beauty and intimacy of the material they so painstakingly captured ultimately overrides the mawkish score and sentimental narration.

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.

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

"Even the wind has dust in its eyes," remarks Newman, at an especially weepy bit. Others may have trouble keeping them open.
