Check out the film’s official synopsis here after the jump.
SYNOPSIS: From National Geographic Films, the people who brought you MARCH OF THE PENGUINS and Paramount Classics, the studio that brought you AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH, ARCTIC TALE is an epic adventure that explores the vast world of the Great North. The film follows the walrus Seela, and the polar bear, Nanu, on their journey from birth to adolescence to maturity and parenthood in the frozen Arctic wilderness. Once a perpetual winter wonderland of snow and ice, the walrus and the polar bear are losing their beautiful icebound world as it melts from underneath them. Story told by Queen Latifah.
I think this is an excellent way of educating the younger generation about what is happening to the planet in a way that they can relate to, through ther medium of animation and they can also enjoy what they are watching at the same time.
It is nice to see entries onto Geeks such as this one.
