Award-winning cinematography and magical music videos make this undersea world of wonders come alive. So come on in, the water's fine...in DEEP SEA DIVE - just one of the many Really Wild Animals adventures in this award-winning series. .com All the water-loving regulars, from sharks and penguins to starfish and seahorses, make an appearance in this installment of the excellent kid series from National Geographic, Really Wild Animals. Information provided by an animated version of planet Earth (voiced by an enthusiastic Dudley Moore) is balanced with poppy musical odes to clean water and deep-sea creatures (sample lyric: "If you need a cheap hotel, crawl inside an empty shell"). In this 44-minute underwater tour, viewers visit the Great Barrier Reef, join caged divers amidst circling sharks, and listen to a trainer talk about the size of dolphin brains. It's a hard-to-resist addition for anyone who enjoys watching a diver dwarfed by a giant jellyfish or seeing an octopus, in all its squirming glory, outwit a wolf eel. This is mainly for animal lovers from preschool through elementary school, although parents will undoubtedly learn something, too. --Kimberly Heinrichs
