Our family enjoyed watching and learning about these three groups of bear cubs. We liked that it went between the three and didn't spend too long a time on one. It was nicely broken apart to keep the children's attention, yet it didn't detract from following the movements of the bears and what they were doing. I was a little concerned partway through when I knew one bear was not going to survive; however, the producers didn't show his death. The narration simply said something to the fact that he was weak and he died. I admire the gentleman who was Knut's caretaker because was devoted to caring for him 24/7 no matter what that meant.

"Just a fantastic story of a polar bear cub being raised in a German Zoo due to the keepers worring his actual parents would harm him, hes so cute and shows the dedication of zoo staff that need to treat Knut like a human baby. Also covers orphan bears in the wild and two more polar bears being raised in the wild by their mother. I own 200 blu rays and this has automatically made my top 5! Great pictures in HD, worth the purchase for sure"
My granddaughter was thrilled with this.

"My granddaughter wanted this documentary DVD about Knut the polar bear for her Easter present and she wasn't disappointed. This is the real life story of Knut born in Germany and taken care of by a human. We watch together and even bought the book."
