Is It Any Good?
While Totally Wild is packed with interesting educational content on various species, it tends to focus on the harsh realities of life in the wild. In other words, this is no sweet, Disney-fied interpretation of animal behavior, and it might upset particularly young or sensitive children.
Overall, Totally Wild is entertaining despite the sometimes-graphic footage. If bloody hunting scenes and vivid shots of animal flesh don't bother your kids, they may find great pleasure in this well-made, educational nature program. After all, the laws of Disney don't apply to the animal kingdom.
