Plot Summary
March of the Penguins producers National Geographic Films team with An Inconvenient Truth producers Paramount Vantage to take viewers on an epic journey into the arctic wilderness in a documentary that explores what happens when the beautiful frozen world occupied by two majestic creatures gradually begins to melt away. Seela is a mother walrus thriving in the chilly waters of the Great North and Nanu is a polar bear with curved claws that make it easy to maintain her footing on ice. As director Sarah Robertson follows these two remarkable creatures from birth through adolescence, maturity, and, ultimately, parenthood, viewers will bear witness to the cycle of life as it unfolds in a vast frozen landscape that could pose problems for all of mankind if it continues to thaw at the current rate.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Watching bear cubs and walrus pups struggling to survive against increasingly tough odds, and on ever-slushier ice shelves, has both its shamelessly manipulative side and its dramatically necessary side, as handled here.
Rotten: Despite the storytelling faults, Ravetch and Robertson offer remarkable footage from the evaporating Arctic.
Fresh: The babies are adorable, the soundtrack choices ('We Are Family') obvious, the biological diversity awe-inspiring.
Rotten: Despite its sad scenes, it sentimentalizes. It attributes human emotions and motivations to its central animals. Its music instructs us how to feel. And the narration and overall approach get in the way of the visual material.
Customer Reviews
Amazing movie!
This movie is a very touching movie. I The polar bears (and walruses (seals?)) are very cute and the movie is silly at times, but, most of the time, this movie is about the dangers the wildlife of the arctic are facing. Definitely a must buy! Hopefully this movie will spread the word and cause people to take action!
