      Disney’s return to nature is remarkable in every way, superior even to 2005’s Oscar-winning 'March of the Penguins.'

      (3 Stars/Out of 4) - A stunning visual poem and an often enlightening journey to places and creatures that have never quite been seen this way before. "Earth" is every bit as majestic and eye-opening as the title infers.

      Disney has recycled footage youve already seen in the acclaimed and fairly wonderful television miniseries IPlanet EarthI, spliced it together in the most haphazard fashion imaginable, and then attempted to make it all stick by hiring a much past his prime James Earl Jones to read half-thought out narration which seems as if it was originally intended for Ryan Seacrest.
