I saw the preview for it last night before Australia. It's coming out on earth day (4/22) 2009. I remember the discovery channel had the Planet Earth documentary series a year or so ago. Is this just a condensed version?

At any rate, the preview melted my heart:

that's exactly what it is....

Fuck all that other shit. I want to see 2 hours of Great White sharks kicking ass and taking names.

i dont like the idea, i think it would be better to focus on one thing instaed of all animals, but we'll see

well the preview talks about following a whale, polar bear, and elephant family for a year. I guess maybe that other stuff is just thrown in there at times.

^yeah that sounds better, elephants are cool

it is, they re-cut it and slapped a Disney label on it and some decent marketing and will make a bundle with low overhead

it's fucking brilliant

hell i might consider watching it just for the fact that it will be a much higher quality experience than sitting in front of my tv.

When the shows first aired, there was nothing better than getting super ripped and watching 3-4 hours of Planet Earth on DVR.
