Disney Planted A Tree For Every Ticket Sold 

Disney offered to plant a tree for every ticket sold for this film in the first week of its release. The tree was to be planted in the North Atlantic Rainforest in Brazil which is 'highly threatened.' You could do the same as a gift for someone in your family. Take a family member to see a wonderful nature-oriented film like this and plant a tree in their name. Beautiful!

Read Some Earth Movie Reviews & An Interview With The Directors 

Disney's Earth Review by Big Green Purse -- Breathtaking
Disney doesn't often make a movie little kids shouldn't see. But "Earth," the nature film premiering on Earth Day April 22, falls into that category. Despite its "G" rating, the film is more suspenseful than a James Bond movie. Big Green Purse feels that the movie is beautiful but that it misses the opportunity to teach about the human impact on our planet's creatures.
Disney's Earth Movie Review by Jake Brewer of The Huffington Post
How can people be expected to care if they aren't inspired? This is a movie designed to inspire. The Earth (movie) will blow your mind.
Disneynature's Earth: Q&A with the Directors on TakePart Social Action Network
The movie, filmed over the course of five years, opens nationwide on Earth Day (April 22). It's a beautiful experience both visually and audibly-the surround sound enables the audience to hear the noise of a flower blooming, and James Earl Jones' voice resonating throughout; the wide screen HD format engulfs viewers and brings them to locations so isolated they may never have the chance to see them first hand. The directors took a few minutes for a Q&A session via phone.
Disney's Earth Review...I Saw it and I am Still Crying
Please be aware that just because "earth" has a G rating, this movie is not suitable for all ages. My three year old said half way through the movie, "I don't like this channel!"
Disney's Earth Review ~~ Celebrate Earth Day with Disneynature's EARTH
Earth Day is coming up on April 22nd and there is no better way to celebrate and support this day than by heading to theater to see Disneynature's EARTH. I was able to see a pre-screening of the film a couple of week's ago and it was absolutely a phenomenal film.
Disney's Earth Movie Preview by the baltimoresun.com
In 2005, this little French nature documentary came along and changed the box-office rules. March of the Penguins earned $77 million in U.S. theaters. And Disney, which distributed the film in some countries, including France, took notice. The studio that invented the modern family-friendly nature film, with its True Life Adventures in the 1940s through the '60s, has been in and out of nature filmmaking. It was time to send Disney crews into the wild again.
Disney's Earth Review by the Kansas City Star
This is `Earth,' and it's spectacular. It's fundamental, cycle-of-life stuff that happens all day, every day, year-round, worldwide.
Disney's Earth Movie byTeenHollywood.com
TeenHollywood.com had the opportunity to ask directors Alastair Fothergill and Mark Linfield and Disneynature studio head Jean Francois Camilleri questions about how the movie was made, the dangers and challenges and what is next for DisneyNature.

If You Are Looking For An Excellent Nature Series To Watch At Home, Try Planet Earth Which Was Made by the Creators of Earth 

Planet Earth: The Complete BBC Series DVD Version

A top quality nature movie ~~ available from Amazon by following this link. Planet Earth is considered by some to be the best nature documentary series out there. Some prefer it to Disney's Earth because it is a series and had the time to dig deeper into the stories.

Planet Earth - The Complete BBC Series

Amazon Price: $26.49 (as of 12/16/2009)Buy Now
List Price: $79.98

A fantastic nature and wildlife series in eleven parts, covering many geographic regions or wildlife habitats. Sound & Vision Magazine called this series a 'stunner.' If you like Disney's Earth and you like great nature documentaries, this will be a great series to own.

Amazon Customer Reviews:

"It's like a living documentation of the beauty of our earth, some of which was starting to disappear right as the cameras were rolling. Perhaps, that is why BBC and Discovery spared no cost to produce this series and it is a masterpiece."

"Well, it's BBC and we've seen what they can do with Blue Planet. Planet Earth is simply amazing... stunning images and talk about being in the right place at the right time (or waiting for the right time)! To imagine all of what they caught on film is merely a glimpse of the amazing phenomenon that is life on our planet! What will they come up with next...?"

Are Disney's Earth Movie and Planet Earth Shot From The Same Movie Footage? 

My understanding is that Disney used footage that was shot side-by-side the Planet Earth footage & the footage was put together with a storyline. Follow this link to voice your opinion on whether or not you think that Disney did the right thing.

What do you think? Can Disney and DisneyNature Help Save Our Planet By Creating Movies Like Earth? 

Or is Earth the movie just a chance for Disney to be seen being green for publicity purposes? Please join the debate on my Monkeybrains page by following the link shown below.

    Not a very good movie at all. Too intense to be rated G. I didn't like it, too many animal deaths!!! I know that's earth but I was hoping it was a happy, cheerful, uplifting movie..but I was wrong!Other than the animals dying I'll give it a 3 star for good production and information.

    I didn't see this movie and I don't plan to. I purchased the BBC's Earth Series on Blu-Ray last year, and it is spectacular. When I saw the previews for this movie, I recognized almost everything immediately, so I chose to skip it. That doesn't mean that this movie doesn't have value, but I'd rather see the full thing. :-)
