    This super-duper deluxe nature documentary clearly aims to recruit young viewers as conservationists.

    Whereas the TV series rarely flinched when it came to showing the animal world as it is, Earth always pulls back at the last second. It shows a cheetah pulling down a gazelle, but not the feast that follows.
