Nature movies

The NY Times reports that Disney has created a new division to make nature movies. The plans call for a film called "Earth" next year, one called "Oceans," the year following and a one called Chimpanzee. The Times quotes the CEO of Disney saying they wish they had made the BBC Planet Earth series, to which I can only say hooray! It means there will be at least one movie to which I want to take the kids in the next few summers.

For those with old school tastes, Disney has released four DVD sets of Disney's True Life Adventures. I loved these when I was a kid. Or at least I recall loving them as a kid. They failed to enthrall mine I am sad to say.
