Frozen Planet DVD release

If you’ve managed to catch just a little of the BBC’s Frozen Planet this Autumn then you probably spent that time completely and utterly transfixed by its other worldly beauty, detail and dedication to wildlife documentary excellence. With a DVD and Blu-ray release date of the 8th December it’s got perfect Christmas present written all over it and with 7 hour long episodes it’ll last you well into 2012 and beyond.

As with The Blue Planet and Planet Earth, Frozen Planet is brilliantly narrated by David Attenborough and takes viewers from pole to pole in its quest to document the sublime excellence of life on the frozen areas of planet earth. All aspects of wildlife in the north and south pole are covered, from feeding narwhal and huddled penguins to the sheer intelligence of hunting killer whales and both the playful and deadly potential of fighting polar bears.

One of the most captivating shoots is of a group of beluga whales scrubbing their backs in shallow rocky waters to smooth off their skin. There’s also plenty of the prerequisite slow motion imagery with penguins jumping out of the water a particular highlight. There’s also one or two surprises, like the mythical looking faces of beluga whales and musk ox. They literally look as though there were created for a cut scene in a yet to be released CGI reworking of the ice planet of Hoth.

The Frozen Planet DVD is split over three DVDs and is scheduled for a 8th December 2011 release date. As with previous DVD releases, Frozen Planet will probably contain a wealth of special features, ranging from commentary to behind the scenes footage.
