It's not every day that you're going to see a bear in Manhattan, if ever, so the way to see them is through the superb work of BBC Home Entertainment. We adore bears, and BBC Home Entertainment has hit another out of the park in their homage to nature with Extreme Bears. Previously, we highly recommended The Bear Family; Extreme Bears is of the same high quality but demonstrates a different level of intensity that is incredibly bearable!
Dropped into the wilds of Alaska, a unique wildlife crew from the BBC hangs with grizzly bears for months to study their ways and habits. What BBC Home Entertainment has achieved is nothing short of miraculous. Chris Morgan is our bear expert, Buck Wilde the guide, and the seductive voice of Billy Connolly narrates the way of the bear. The crew succeeds in filming unbelievably up close shots of the life and moods of Alaskan grizzlies. This is “Extreme Bears”. Cuddly creatures in theory to be sure, these huge creatures are best observed on camera. There is no better way to participate in this rugged survival lifestyle. With camera work worthy of the best of the BBC, the visual engagement is captivating.
Billy Connolly cajoles as a raconteur with a script that creates ongoing wonder. They have names, these bears we follow, which creates even more of a bond with the audience. follows with another disk of tales of pandas and polar bears. It’s a bear collection, and it’s time to learn more about them. With music that fits the mood, in and out of tranquility and danger, the BBC editors give us the total package. Call this a documentary if you must, but it’s far beyond that.
The beauty, the wonder, the glory of grizzly in this Alaskan wild follows with another episode of tales of pandas and polar bears. It’s a bear collection, and it’s time to learn more about them.
Two more features serve up tactical techniques and the adventures of other bears around the world.
With the familiar voice of David Attenborough on Bears-Spy in the Woods, the BBC covers bear-ness and gives the animal lovers of the world a veritable feast. This documentary brings robot camera work into the very mouth of the world’s bears. “Magi-cam” and a fleet of complicated cameras sit under the bears’ very noses and film. When the giant panda is seen munching on his bamboo snack, we know it’s the first time that one has been filmed in over ten years. The dramatic coloring of his black and white coat is even more beautiful against the green of his bamboo forest. Ingenious technology will be intriguing for the gadget minded, and as for the bears? They’ve now won our hearts, brown, black, in any guise, any landscape, any habitat.
The Polar Bear Battlefield , the third documentary included in this set, uses computer generated images and graphics that capture your attention immediately. The storytelling revolves around the ice and the cold reality of the polar bear in its arctic environs. This is a fascinating way to present an overview of the cold world of ice and snow that provides a home to seals, whales, and our polar bears. How to hunt like a polar bear, and how to survive like one, is smoothly presented in a very modern staging sure to mesmerize the video game fans out there. Fun aspects include bear "selfies", and the drama between the bears that plays out like a fantastic soap opera.
In one fell swoop, BBC Home Entertainment gives us an encompassing bear approach, with impressive filming, fact-packed scripts, and a world of wonder that enlightens and instructs. Not just for study-time, these documentaries will cross that emotional barrier and bring you into the world of bears on a very personal note. Whom You Know Highly Recommends Extreme Bears by BBC Home Entertainment!
Though they may look cute and cuddly, don’t be mistaken: bears can also be absolutely brutal killers. This epic natural history triple-bill from BBC Earth reveals the many sides of this often misunderstood creature. Set against the stunning Alaskan landscape, Great Bear Stakeout provides a fly-on-the-wall perspective of a whole cast of bear characters as they face sometimes shocking life or death scenarios. Narrated by Billy Connolly (Brave, The Last Samurai), this stunning two-part series uses a stakeout team and a range of cameras, from HD to the latest in hi-tech remotes, to take viewers right into a gang of grizzlies. In Polar Bear Battlefield, hidden miniature cameras combine with satellite views and more to infiltrate the hidden worlds of the polar bear and its prey, analyzing strategies and exposing secret hunting methods and survival techniques. And finally, Bears - Spy in the Woods brings the viewer within a paw's swipe of the giant panda, the brown bear, the polar bear and the less well-known spectacled bear by using camouflaged roving cameras, offering an intimate portrayal of these engaging creatures.
