Snow Babies (TV Movie 2012)

Snow Babies (TV Movie 2012). Snow Babies: With Nancy Giles, Caroline Quentin. Caroline Quentin narrates this heart-warming tale of a special group of baby animals born in some of the coldest and harshest places on Earth. We follow the ups and downs of impossibly cute yet plucky baby emperor penguins, snow monkeys, polar bears, arctic foxes, reindeer and otters and find out just what it takes to survive the first year of life in a world of snow and ice, with a little help from family and friends.

“This is just the kind of dumbed down presentation that ensures that the viewing public remain ignorant and ill educated. Using rehashed footage from quality natural history programs, mixed with u0026quot;happyu0026quot; music and nursery school language, this show manages to give the impression of being educational whilst imparting the minimum of facts; pups, cubs, chicks and calves all become u0026quot;babiesu0026quot; whilst bulls, cows, dogs, bitches, and adults of all species become mum and dad. For example, one scene shows polar bear cubs struggling to walk on a steep slope; at least that what we are told in the original program; but this u0026quot;factual lightu0026quot; describes them as playing in the snow to the sound of a comical score. Sir David – please donu0026#39;t watch, it will break your heart.”
