<p>It seems obvious the groundwork for this film was laid by the success of <em>March of the Penguins</em>, as both feature similiar qualities such as a celebrity narrator and an anthropomorphized view of nature (this film follows &#034;families&#034; of animals).  Others may instead liken Disney&#039;s movie to the BBC series <em>Planet Earth</em>, which is an accurate comparison: 60% of <em>Earth</em>&#039;s footage was shot for that other documentary, <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/science/04/22/earth.movie.disney/index.html" title="'Earth' takes viewers on 'breathtaking' global journey - CNN.com">according to CNN</a>.</p>
<p>Do you think these movies encourage us to have our planet&#039;s best interests at heart?  Are they actively pushing a liberal agenda?  Is this a good family movie that&#039;s affordable to shoot, requiring no computer animation?  Or is big business trying to capitalize on the popularity of &#034;green&#034;?</p>
