Excellent Family/Freindship Story

I purchased this DVD for my husband who taught elementary school for 35 years. He has always loved Polar Bears and the different books about Lars were read to our sons all the time and now to our grandsons. Both "Papa" and grandsons (ages 5 & 3) watched this DVD three days in a row. It teaches about family and friendship which does not seem to be that important in today's society so much. I would recommend this as a great DVD for all ages. January 11, 2007

Absolutely Astonishing

When I first got this on D.V.D I thought it would be an average cutesy film but I was wrong THIS MOVIE ROCKED one of the best films about friendship I have ever seen in my life BREATHTAKING SCENERY ,MYSTIFYING MUSIC and SOME OF THE COOLEST CHARACTERS YOU COULD RELATE TOO this film has everything but the best thing about this movie was the lesson which was FRIENDS CAN COME IN ALL SHAPES AND SIZES NO MATTER WHAT THE DIFFERENCES ARE everytime I keep watching this film It always makes me cry and it is suitable for all of the family March 30, 2004

Magical moments for toddlers

My daughter, 2.5 years, absolutely adores this movie, just as much as she loves the books. The plot in itself is not very realistic, but then again childrens animated movies usually aren't; Animals talk, friendships grow between two spieces enemies in nature (an other example Disney's "Fox and Hound") and the locations have all the details wrong... Refreshingly this movie has no violence and lots of sweet moments which makes it suitable for the youngest viewers. March 23, 2004

Cute movie

Sweet animated film about a baby polar bear's friendship with a baby seal. Despite the "fish eating machine"(which kills No animals), my 4 year old loves the movie. Nice change of pace from Disney animations, which often seem to include violence and death. January 29, 2004
