DVD Reviews of Crocodile Hunter's Croc Files (Volume 1)
DVD Review: Great DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
This is yet another great Steve Irwin DVD. My child is a huge fan of him and just loves this DVD.DVD Review: In Appreciation to Steve Irwin
Summary: 5 Stars
After learning about Steve Irwin's death, I pulled out this collection of DVDs and just smiled a kind of bitter-sweet smile. The things he did, the stuff he pulled...in the back of my mind I knew it was only going to be a matter of time before something happened. He kept on putting himself in peril and he pulled himself out scrape after scrape... I began to think that maybe he really was invincible.
Sadly, this was not the case.
I haven't watched these DVDs in awhile. I forgot how humorous Steve Irwin really was. How childlike and excited he was to be doing what he loved to do. It is only fitting that he did die doing what he loved. There really couldn't have been any other way. It was just meant to be.
I send peace and blessings to his family and especially to his children. Your dad made the world a better place. His love for animals and wildlife will not be forgotten. He reminded the "little kid" in my heart and soul to come out and play; that it's okay to be enthusiastic...who cares if people think you're nuts...maybe if more people "went nuts" the world would be a happier place.
Steve Irwin did his share. May Spirit guide him to his next daring adventure.
Peace & Blessings.
DVD Review: This is not the way wildlife should be handled
Summary: 1 Stars
I do not believe Steve Irwin handles wildlife appropriately. His intrusive methods are bordering on something like molestation and are also too risky. Recently he ventured too close to wildlife in Antarctica (illegally) but was not charged, probably due to his political connections. I think the Irwin show needs to be taken off the air for good.DVD Review: too much entertainment, too little education
Summary: 3 Stars
This DVD is a lot of fun. There is no doubt about that. After watching this, my four year old and his friends were practicing Steve's croc catching techniques on each other.But Steve himself and his wife are given too much camera time. And when the camera is on them, they don't seem to be saying all that much of value. Steve just gets super excited and tells us what a "naughty crocodile" he had caught.
If your kids like seeing crocs in action, they might do better watching a documentary. At least they would see more of the crocs.
DVD Review: I want to be Steve Irwin
Summary: 4 Stars
Steve Irwin has done to the nature-themed TV show what Bruce Lee did to the martial arts movie: added charisma, class, and thoughtfulness. His approach to teaching conservation and respect for nature is truly entertaining. Not only is it amazing to watch him chase after some of the most poisonous snakes in the world without a second thought, his quirky, Australian humor gets me smiling every time. It's great for kids and adults. Every time I watch these, I want to get on a plane to Australia so that I can meet the guy.This DVD has a lot of great moments in true Steve-style. Be warned, though, that there are some things on this DVD that overlap with his "Best of Crocodile Hunter" DVD.
Description of Crocodile Hunter's Croc Files (Volume 1)
Crocs rule! And they're ferocious little beauties, as you'll see when Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin takes you on four wild adventures down under.Charlie - Charlie, a large aggressive crocodile, has been kept in a concrete pen all of his life. He bears the psychological scars of a crocodile that has grown up in confined conditions. Steve, Terri and their team rescue and relocate Charlie to the Australia Zoo. In his new habitat, Charlie becomes a very unpredictable "naughty" crocodile.
How to Catch a Crocodile - Danger, Danger, Danger! Steve shows some of the different trapping, netting and lassoing techniques he uses to relocate crocodiles in the wild and at Australia Zoo. Aussie Legends - Australia is known for it's vast array of unusual animals. In this adventure we take a look at some of the different species of kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, wombats and possums that can be found nowhere else in the world.
Pacific Northwest - Steve and Terri travel throughout the U.S. Northwest, Terri's home state, a region filled with extraordinary wild animals. While exploring this amazing territory, they help with bison and elk operations and interact with otters, beavers, cougars, snakes and bears.
What's great about the rumpled, khaki-clad team of Steve and Terri Irwin, hosts of The Crocodile Hunter, is their complete lack of pretense. Make no mistake: Steve is a goofball, prone to outbursts ("By crikey!") that plant him squarely, cartoonishly, in his native outback, but he clears through the TV muck quickly, plopping his big-eyed persona behind him readily to deliver his points on the ABCs of wildlife. Mostly, it's the Cs that the Irwins dwell on--this feature's "How to Catch a Crocodile" and "Charlie," for instance. "How To" is a huntsman's field guide: for the big fellas, you set a mesh trap and clear out; snagging under-6-footers means leaping out of a boat after dark and wrangling the man-eaters to the riverbank. "Charlie" dips into more of the same--a humongous beast is wrestled into submission, except its focus is fixed on the namesake croc, who's been confined to a concrete pit all his life. From there, the hunter harnesses his weapons for a confrontation-free glimpse at some tamer creatures. "Aussie Legends" examines all you'd expect: kangaroos, wallabies, and koalas--plus possums, the curious Rufus Betong, and a wombat with an attitude. Then, with the indigenous inhabitants of Steve's native stomping grounds surveyed, it's Terri's turn. In "Pacific Northwest," she leads an expedition through the Oregon Trail, where a bison takes a dart to the rump and an elk gets his antlers sawed off. As you'd guess, the croc episodes are what make this title worth owning. That's not to say all four titles aren't solidly educational and fun, only that the swampier shows dish up more of what couch-bound thrill seekers will want to sink their teeth into, so to speak. --Tammy La Gorce
