Really Wild Animals is Really Wonderful!.

Rating: 5
As an animal lover and elementary school teacher, I purchased this DVD box set for my Grade 3 class. Each DVD is interesting, informative, and entertaining. Each DVD kept my interest and was greatly enjoyed by my students. Way to go National Geographic!! I would definitely recommend this product.

Really wild about Really Wild Animals.

National Geographic standards applied to the younger age group. Fabulous photography, age appropriate information, and very catchy songs. Well packaged and each one consistently a quality production. The only downside is they didn't make more of this series.

Disappointing - Little content, lots of flashing images.

We expected more from NG. These videos were mostly just quick clips of various creatures, 5 seconds for most, and very little informational content. Good to plop the kids in front of if you want to distract them, not good at all for learning.

educational... yet cheesy.

My kids do enjoy watching these. However, the little cartoon globe, it's quite cheesy. Although educational, we don't watch it often.

Not exactly what I was anticipating....

This DVD set was disappointing in it's presentation and delivery; especially the dino video, and my son was looking forward to that one most. The "filler" silly humor is a waste of film space - I think I'd rather purchase an adult version of a National Geographic documentary. Flashing disjointed scenes of various dinosaurs to some kind of rap I suppose the producers deemed kid-friendly was not appealing to my 6 yr. old at all. He kept asking when the show was actually going to start. Overall, it's not a "bad" set...it's just not worth the money. Turn on the Discovery Channel instead.
