Disneynature's The Crimson Wing Flamingo Nature Documentary Movie Review
Ranked #19,080 in Entertainment, #232,586 overall
The Crimson Wing: Mystery of the Flamingos
A joint British-French-American production, it premiered in France in October of 2008. Subsequently, it was released in the United Kingdom but it has yet to be released in North American. Wikipedia says that The Crimson Wing is due to appear in North America sometime after Disneynature's Oceans premieres in theatres on Earth Day, April 22, 1009. Other than that reference, I have been unable to find an official release date.
Meanwhile, if you want to see this film in North America, you do have a choice. You can buy it, on blu-ray only, as a region-free import from Amazon by clicking right here. If you choose to do so, be sure that you are aware of the delivery timeframe as that showing right now indicates a considerable wait and of course, the fact that it is an import means that it will cost you more.
The Crimson Wing: Mystery of the Flamingos will take you to join millions of mysterious and majestic flamingos on Lake Natron in Tanzania, Africa. You will learn much about the life cycle this wonderful pink bird with a particular focus on their coming of age and mating patterns. On this page, you will find more information about this film, the video trailers, reviews (including a discussion of whether or not this film is suitable for your young children) and links to more information about Disney's other new nature programs.

What Writers Are Saying About Crimson Wing on Twitter
Disneynature's Crimson Wing Rated For Children
In case you are wondering what age children this film is appropriate for.
Finding information about the rating of this film has proven difficult particularly since it has not been released yet in North America. However, what little I have been able to locate indicates that it is a nature film that shows all of nature, which includes flamingo chicks being eaten by their predators.As The Daily Mail said, "Be warned, however, that it shows nature red in tooth and claw, and does not flinch from depicting flamingo chicks being eaten alive by marabou storks and other predators." The Daily Mail goes on to recommend the film for adults or sophisticated children. Sophisticated children being those that are well aware about survival of the fittest.
