Nov 21 2008'Earth' Trailer: Nature is Crazy
I just recently saw the BBC's Planet Earth on a friend's 50-some inch 1080 HD hologram TV. If you haven't seen this, let me tell you, I can confidently say nature is more amazing and crazy than even YouTube suggests. Find a friend who can afford a nice television made of plasma and watch it.
I bring this up because Disney and Planet Earth director Alastair Fothergill have taken what looks like mostly the same footage and edited it into a theatrical release. Normally that would be obnoxious, but if this is released IMAX, that means seeing nature craziness at a massive scale. It will feel like I've actually gone outdoors!
Here's the trailer:
I hate those wading monkeys so much.

Thank god I didn't have to listen to Morgan Freeman's stupid voice (yay Patrick Stewart!).
Also yes, the Planet Earth shows on a nice television are out of control.

@1 that isnt Patrick Stewart. It sounded like James Earl Jones to me.

"f ck you PETA and Pam! Eat my country crotch!"

The clip above obviously has James Earl Jones as the narrator. The IMDB listed Patrick Stewart as the narrator for the BBC version of Earth. This is a Disney remix of the same footage it seems.
