Knut & Friends

I HOPE YOU LIKE BEARS BECAUSE WE HAVE THREE FAMILIES OF THEM. THE MOST FAMOUS IS KNUT THE INFANT POLAR BEAR ABANDONEDBY HIS MOTHER AT BIRTH. HE WAS BROUGHT UP AT THE BERLIN ZOO AND WAS THEIR STAR ATTRACTION. THE ZOO KEEPERS LOVINGLY RAISED HIM. THE SECOND FAMILY WAS DISCOVERED IN BELARUS, NEXT TO RUSSIA, AND SURVIVED ON THEIR OWN WITH TWO CUBS. FINALLY, ANOTHER FAMILY OF POLAR BEARS DEVELOPED IN ALASKA WITH THREE CUBS, RATHER PHENOMENAL. I VIEWED THIS WITHMY NEIGHBORS WHO HAVE A FIVE AND AN EIGHT YEAR OLD. THEY WERE DELIRIOUS WITH JOY, ALTHOUGH THEIR DOG KEPT BARKING.THIS IS A DELICIOUS MOVIE FOR ANY AGE , EVEN MY OWN. ENJOY.

This was an interesting documentary. It was a little slow and may have tried to cover too much in the fifty minutes. Still it was informational. One wonders about those bears twelve years down the road. I don't know a bear's life expectancy -- a quick search says that is around twenty-five years for black bears and thirty years for polar bears, so Knut should be an adult with lots of years to go. Recommended for nature lovers.

Knut & Friends is a terrific video! It documents the world famous polar bear & it also shows you how life in the wild can be for wild bears and polar bears alike.It is very moving, very sweet for young and old alike. I highly recommend this video if your an animal lover. You cant help but smile at Knut's antics while growing up. Makes you fall in love with Knut and you can see why millions have fallen in love with him.It also compels you to learn about what struggles bears & polar bears have to deal with in the 21st century. Global warming is a HUGE threa to them, to all of us.You cant help but want to help the bears and polar bears. They ARE feeling global warming right now. We MUST do something - now to stop it. It makes you think, makes you wonder if your kids & grandkids will be able to see polar bears & bears in the wild...or just in a zoo.Buy it..you wont be disappointed.

The love between these two is so palpable. Even if you are a big believer that wild animals should stay wild, (and I do think Knut's trainer was one of these), the film shows there is no way not to love this sweet bear. I would recommend you learn about what happened to both of them after this film.

of compassion and commitment by the trainers, and drive to thrive by Knut! My six-year-old loves anything animal related, even (or should I say especially) documentaries/true stories. We must have rented this ten times from the library, so I finally bought it for her for Christmas and it still gets popped in all the time. She loved watching Knut from the early days when he had to be fed with a baby bottle to his first jump in the water for a swim with his trainer/caretaker at the zoo; it really was a parent-child relationship with them. The couple of sub stories, like with the black bear cubs finding their was was also super cute. We both highly recommend it!

This is great for kids, little Knut has to be loved and the other two stories are fun an interesting too.Unlike other wilderness movies, there are no lions, wolves, or other animals killing each other, There is a little fight with a wolve, but its nature, there wiull be some animal fighing, frod eating and such, but not one of the animales dies on screen, so there is no trauma for the kids.My little 2 year old asks for Knut all the time, Even thou we speal spanish at home and the video only has english audio. The images speak for themselves

Interesting documentary about bear cubs. My 7 and 10 year old enjoyed it. Narration by "the wind" was a little unusual, but not too distracting. Mostly about Knut, the polar bear raised in the zoo. We liked seeing all the trainer did to help him grow and thrive.

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

This was to be a gift..came too late...so it will be a spring birthday present!!!! cannot evaluate as of yet

I love this blu ray,as soon as I saw it I bought it.The story of Knut being brought up from a baby by his keeper Thomas touched my heart.It is a wonderful,the love between man and bear was exceptional.It is such a terrible Shame that neither Knut or Thomas are here now,Thomas died in 2008 and Knut passed away in 2011.So very sad.I will treasure this story.

リージョン1で再生できなくて悔しかった。 北米対応だったみたい。 藤井フミヤのナレーションが嫌で 輸入盤を買ったのになんてこったい！ がっかりだ。

藤井フミヤのナレーションバージョンしかなくて、字幕版に切り替えられない。そもそも映画としても、クヌートと関係ない森のクマだのでてきて、内容も薄すぎる。過去に映画館で上映していたのだろうか？あまりにもお粗末です。

region : A映像；1080p, High-DefinitionリージョンAなので日本製のプレーヤーで視聴できます。日本語字幕はありません。劇場公開日本版とは違う音楽が収録されています。日本のDVD版とどちらにしようか迷いましたが、ブルーレイを買って良かったです。雪原、草原、森林などのシーンが多く、BDで観て楽しめる作品と感じました。シロクマの体に反射する夕陽など、息をのむ美しさです。
