Part of the DisneyNature
documentary series, “Oceans” is a beautiful imagescape of the wonders of the
ocean. Unlike “African Cats”, the narration provided in the English version by
Pierce Brosnan does not single out a few animals and tell an imposed story over
the footage. Instead, “Oceans” is a broad overview of all life found in our
world’s oceans. We see a great many creatures and a great many sights, but
there are no in depth studies of any one aspect.
What the filmmakers have
concentrated on here is highlighting the beauty of life to be found in the
oceans. There are images here I’ve never beheld before. Schools of fish swirl
around in underwater tornadoes. Turns dive into the water by the thousands
taking advantage of the multitude of fish just below the water’s surface. How
do they avoid hitting one another? Surprisingly a whale bursts out of the water
in the middle of the turns’ fishing storm.
