Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that the filmmakers have minimized the predator-prey relationships in this 3D nature documentary: Even though there's vivid evidence of the food chain at work, those few scenes are presented gently, as part of a natural process. Similarly, the mating behavior that's shown is treated with simple respect. It's worth noting that since the experience of watching a 3D movie brings images very close to your eyes, small children may need some introduction to the concept before watching.

Sexual Content

Violence

Although big fish eat little fish and turtles eat jellyfish, the filmmakers don't dwell on the cruel or gory aspects of nature.
