DVD Reviews of The Meerkats
DVD Review: Beautifully Photographed Family Fare
Summary: 4 Stars
This beautifully photographed nature study follows the adventures of a young meerkat from the time he first emerges from his underground nest - through to the time he becomes a young adult taking responsibility for the care and feeding of other members of his extended family. Paul Newman's narration takes the form of a dramatic storyline that lends continuity to Kolo's adventures.
My only criticism of this documentary is that it doesn't provide enough background information about meerkats. I didn't watch the popular TV series "Meerkat Manor," so I came fresh to these images of meerkats. I would have liked to know where their species fits in the scheme of things, without having to do independent research. Are they related to lemurs - to prairie dogs - to moles? What geographical range do they occupy? You won't get answers to these questions on this film.
However what is on the screen is cute and captivating. And:
SPOILER - SPOILER - SPOILER
I think this documentary would be suitable for the whole family. Although there are a few scenes of predation, our protagonist Kolo himself makes it safely through all the perils he encounters. So there's nothing here that should be too disturbing even for very young children.
Description of The Meerkats
Kolo is a young meerkat with a big sense of adventure. Deep in the hostile desert of the Kalahari, he and his family have created a home, but growing up is his greatest challenge of all. With danger lurking in every corner ? including ravenous lions, limited food, and poisonous snakes ? he?ll find out how to adapt to his wild environment and thrive. Narrated by Paul Newman, The Meerkats is a beautifully filmed and inspiring look at how in a land of giants, these little creatures stand tall.Bestsellers in DVD
