Set of four nature documentaries from the Oscar-winning director of
'March Of The Penguins'. The surprise box office success of
'Penguins' catapulted Luc Jacquet into the Hollywood limelight but
he had been making award winning marine biology documentaries for
many years already. 'The Leopard Seal's Share' (1999) portrays the
Antarctic oceans' only predator besides the killer whale, the
leopard seal. These deceptively cuddly characters show up at
penguin breeding grounds yearly to devour gigantic numbers of
birds. The penguins have naturally evolved into this routine so
that, to save the majority of those nesting on land, a certain
number dive into the sea as sacrifice to the seals. 'The Tick And
The Bird' (2001) follows the journey of a flea hitchhiking on the
back of a Laysan Albatross as it crosses the pacific to nest and
lay. The wily tick then nestles into the younger, downier hatchling
and from there, onto the back of a penguin come to steal the
chick's food - a tick's eye view of marine bird life. 'Springtime
For The Weddel Seals' (1996) follows a young Weddel pup through the
first few months of life in the unforgiving Antarctic climate, both
under and above the water. 'Penguin Baywatch' (2002) takes a look
at life for the penguins, birds and seals on the remote Sub
Antarctic islands -isolated spits of land that become prime real
estate during summer months for all sea and bird life looking to
escape the frozen south.
