MICROCOSMOS
captures the fun and adventure of a spectacular hidden universe revealed in a breathtaking, close-up view unlike anything you've ever seen! Your family will marvel at a pair of stag beetles dueling like titans. The kids will stare bug-eyed as a magnificent army of worker ants race to stock their larder ... while tyring to avoid becoming a feisty pheasant's dinner. And you'll have a front-row seat to witness an amazing transformation from caterpillar to butterfly, the remarkable birth of a mosquito, and several other minute miracles of life. With its tiny cast of thousands, MICROCOSMOS leaves no doubt that "Mother Nature remains the greatest special effects wizard of all" (New York Times).

Buggy for this bug movie!
I bought this DVD to replace a VHS tape I had of the same movie. I use it in my kindergarten class during our unit on insects. Every year, my students are completely mesmerized by it. They beg to watch it over and over - and every time, they are completely grossed out by the snails, sad for the grasshopper caught by the spider, they root for the dung beetle and his ball of "yuck"... This is an incredible movie. I don't know how they did this, but it certainly enriches the students' learning. I hear commments about the three body parts, antennas, compound eyes, six legs, etc. as the kids get an up close view of living, breathing bugs. I can't recommend it enough.

Suberb!
We LOVE insects and regularly feature them in our artwork [viewable at OlioStudios.Blogspot.com], along with other wildlife.
Microcosmos
is truly a work of art with an excellent soundtrack, coupled with micro sound effects from creatures therein. There is much to explore in the animal kingdom. Also view "Insectia" by Georges Brossard, whom found an Insectarium in Montreal, Canada.
Best,
