Movie Reviews of Meerkat Manor The Complete 1st Season (4 DVD set)
Movie Review: Great show-but some disappointments with this product
Summary: 3 Stars
I decided to order the complete first season of 'Meerkat Manor' after seeing several episodes on tv. The show itself is quite fun and fascinating, and the images and multitude of camera angles is exhilarating. One thing I'm not a huge fan of is the narration, I found it too fluffy for my tastes and not very tight. But that's ok, it's part of the appeal to a greater audience.
One other point, slightly related to my previous comment, but I wish, how to say this, that the show would dig a little deeper into its subject and the subjects' environment? Even so, the show provides considerable enjoyment and entertainment by depicting the meerkats themselves and the developments that take place within their lives, which is loads of good fun...
Finally, I'd like to draw your attention to the Amazon.com version of this first season. The Amazon.com version has no menus within the dvds, and the packaging and presentation are abysmal. Supposedly the first season that you buy at the discovery channel store is better and has more features, so that is something to be aware of.
Anyways, 'Meerkat Manor' is a great show, fun for kids and adults, but it could have benefited from a little more depth.
Summary of Meerkat Manor The Complete 1st Season (4 DVD set)
Triumph and mishap, comedy and tragedy - everything a good story needs, but this one is different, it stars a group of wild meerkats in South Africa. This ground-breaking thirteen part series records the daily lives of a group of meerkats known as "The Whiskers". Using state of the art camera technology above and below ground, and by tracking the group's movements 24 hours a day, the series paints a dramatic picture of a year in their highly complex and social lives. From viscous fights with rival gangs to infighting within the group, snake attacks, births of two dozen pups, and tragic deaths, "Meerkat Manor" includes animal behavior never recorded before. With characters that would be more at home in a real life soap opera, their entangled lives make for addictive viewing.This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply.
