Planet Earth: Complete Collection (DVD) was five years in the making showing every aspect of earth's fauna and flora. The photography is outstanding as is the information and the way the videographers shot the scenes. Not only is the collection education, it is aesthetically pleasing with rare or first-time footage of hunts by animals by aerial photography and underwater shots of elephants swimming. The snow leopard's hunt is breathtaking as is the man who spent eight months in the mountains waiting for the scene. This is matched only by the male bird of paradise's dance in Papua New Guinea for the female. The voice-overs are as illuminating as the pictures. This is a wonderful collection for any family video library.

If you haven't seen any of this series on the Discovery Channel, you owe it to yourself and your family to spend a little time and watch at least an episode. Once you do you will no doubt appreciate how well done and valuable this documentary is as a work of art and an invaluable record of what once was this planet. I had to own it. Given the incredible pressures being placed on the environment today and the apparent lack of politcal will to correct the damage we are inflicting on our planet Earth, it is conceivable that within our lives or our children's lives many of the things documented in this series will be gone for good. This film series will open your eyes to the incredible wonders and beauty that surround us if only we would take the time to look. A masterpiece!

After watching this entire series myself, I knew this was the perfect Father's Day gift for my dad--you know..."the world's most difficult man to buy anything for because he has everything and wants nothing?" Well, that's him and I figured he DIDN'T have this and WOULD completely love it. And he does! He has a huge appreciation for the world around us, for nature and geography, and for well-captured filming and photo shots. I think this series completely astounded even him with how absolutely beautiful it is, and with the devotion of the film crew to capture never-before-seen shots. This is a must see for everyone.

This series offers an amazing view of the planet we live on. The special cameras and techniques they used were able to catch events that have never been filmed before. Plus it is just fun to watch.

With three boys entering adulthood, it is refreshing to view a dvd that doesn't have explosions or violence that interests my kids. The collection can be watched in parts as our schedule allows, and it stimulates discussions on the state of our planet. Very relevant in these days of "carbon footprints" and global warming issues. My kids are on the older-side, high-school/college, but I can see youngsters enjoying it as well. Beautiful photography and excellent narrator.

I purchased this for my "father-who-has-everything" for Father's Day, and he was so pleased with the set. Just hearing his rave reviews made us want to purchase one for ourselves! We watched the series on TV , and love the mesmerizing sights and music.

I originally bought this series for myself about a year ago. When my mother was visiting, she watched it and loved it so much I bought it for her. My son's favorites are the ocean ones; he is fascinated by ocean animals. This collection of DVDs are educational for the whole family.

I bought this dvd as a Christmas present for my dad. He hasn't made it through all 5 dvd's yet, but he has loved every minute of it so far. I also have to give credit to the logistics crew at Overstock.com for getting my order out in such a timely manner. I ordered two dvd's about a week before Christmas and they both arrived at my door in about 3 days. Great job!!!!!

I purchased this item as a Christmas gift for my son (and his family), and have been told the series is excellent. Having my 7 year old grandaughter be exposed to more than just Princess and High School Musical material is important to me.

My son told me how he had been watching some of this on TV, and how fabulous it was. Instant idea for a Christmas present! Overstock had the best price, and as always, had prompt shipping. Even though he had seen part it on TV he was thrilled to get the complete set, and the first disk he chose to watch was the very segment he had already seen on TV! I highly recommend this DVD set. I have watched some of it and it is truly fascinating!! Incredible "extras" showing how some of it was filmed

I purchased this product for a gift for Christmas. Not only did they enjoy the film but we all sat down the next day and had to watch a few of the locations. It is not just an educational DVD, it is also important to see how humans affect the enviroment. It gives you a sense of who you are.

My 10 year old daughter absolutely loves nature and animals. This is an awesome value for this series. I have not found a better price in stores. In fact I had difficulty finding the complete series anywhere except on overstock
