Product Description: Oceanic marvels abound in these two episodes of The Blue Planet, and we're given a front-row seat thanks to the series' peerless camerawork and sound effects, and George Fenton's glorious orchestral score. "Tidal Seas" explores the myriad life forms that thrive when lunar gravity pulls the oceans offshore. These include surfing snails, diving osprey, breeding stingray, and bottlenose dolphin digging for razorfish in the shallow tidal flats. In a delightful time-lapse sequence, sand bubbler crabs clean an entire beach for food, leaving millions of filtered sand balls in their paths. "Coasts" is easily the most brutal episode, but no less mesmerizing. Here we witness the battles of elephant seals, the tenacity of Galapagos iguanas, and the mating rituals of the walrus. Surely the most unexpected, and horrifying, sequence is that of the orca, earning its "killer whale" nickname by capturing, killing, and tail-tossing a seal pup--a performance so mysteriously primal that even the most seasoned marine biologist will be utterly amazed. --Jeff Shannon

Outstanding Content , Photography and Narration
I've been a marine biologist for more than 25 years and am amazed everytime that I watch these movies. I originally bought it for my grandson Liam to have here at the house when he visited. However, I've watched them many times over even when he isn't here. These movies have instilled in both of us a whole new awareness of the majesty of our oceans. Except for a few of the more graphic depictions of "real-life" predator/prey relationships which may need adult companionship for some of the younger kids, I would wholeheartedly recommend these to everyone, young and old! An outstanding effort in every respect!

Tidal Seas and Coastal Life
This DVD takes a look at the sea life along the shorelines of the world. Like all of "The Blue Planet" series, this is a thorough documentary that I highly recommend to anybody interested in marine life.
