Movies that let your wild animals get back to nature
School’s out for summer, and arithmetic drills and cursive writing workbooks have given way to popsicles and sprinklers. In the spirit of kids unleashed into their natural habitat for two glorious months, we present five fab film finds in which we are, as Steppenwolf reminds us, born to be wild.
1. Winged Migration (2001)
We know, when kids are asked about their favourite animals, birds aren’t often at the top of the their lists. As far as we know, Discovery Channel has no Bird Week, but birds are a truly awesome class of animal. Winged Migration follows a few species of birds over four years as they travel great distances and face predators.
2. Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008)
