Product Description: We live on an old planet, and we just got here. DK Vision shows us who came first in Eyewitness: Prehistoric Life, a beautiful, sassy look at the evolution of life on Earth. The images are, as usual, stunning, from flies being caught in amber to meteors hitting the earth, and Martin Sheen's narration flows with them to seamlessly guide the viewer through four and a half billion years of change. DK Vison manages to create programs that actually appeal to every age, a rarity these days. Easily distracted kids, bored teenagers, and know-it-all adults all find them great fun. So if you want to see our ancestors crawl out of the primordial soup, experience the dawn of mankind, or hear the tale of the conquering cockroach, try Eyewitness: Prehistoric Life. --Rob Lightner

not for young children
This Eyewitness video, like the couple others we have viewed with our preschoolers, is interesting for us adults, but not at all entertaining enough for young children. Too much talking! Not enough action! The cover shows a wooly mammoth, but I don't remember seeing a mammoth in the video, unless I was distracted by one of the kids at just that moment. I guess when I think of prehistoric times I think of cave men and sabre tooth tigers and wooly mammoths, not the beginnings of the earth. This video covers the whole of prehistory, all 4.5 billion years of it, in 1/2 hour. So not much time is devoted to the subjects we are familiar with or that kids are interested in. A lot of time is spent on the "primordial soup" stage ...And the entire dinosaur age is covered in about 10 seconds, showing just 1 of the many species. But I do recommend the video to more mature audiences who are interested in a brief overview of the developments during those 4.5 billion years.
