    Makes an unpersuasive case that humans are to blame for the shrinking ice caps.

    Fantastic footage - of course I love Polar bears so I'm biased. But this is the best - wish there were more movies like this!

    There's a miracle in this wildlife drama, and it is implied on the whole story of the bear and the seal's fight for survival. Amazing!

    A well done nature documentary; if one can stomach the incessant global warming ideology that the film repeatedly harps on. Cute and realistic animal scenes, and yet the viewer is constantly reminded that in many ways human beings are essentially responsible for the harshness of these creatures' lives, due to our participation in global warming and the "disappearance" of the arctic ice. Good movie, but it could have been so much more if it hadn't been so shamelessly politicized. Be sure to debrief your kids after watching, as the movie tugs on their emotions to brainwash them into its environmental philosophies.… Expand

    Spectacular photography of the frigid domain of polar bears, walruses and seals is the chief attraction of Arctic Tale.

    Queen Latifah proves an amiably authoritative narrator, and is allowed more personality than most script readers.

    A smarmy score, some orgiastic farting from a herd of walruses, and a modicum of cutesy anthropomorphism from narrator Queen Latifah prove a small price to pay for this stunningly photographed narrative documentary about a year in the endangered life of Arctic ice floe.
