good music, organization could be better
Music and scenery were beautiful. It would have been helpful if they made it more obvious where one piece ended and the next piece began - a blank screen between pieces or the composer's name on the bottom of the screen when the piece begins. The way they did it kind of makes all the pieces blur together.

Relaxing and Entertaining
This is a great thing to put on if you want to meditate or even exercise. Personallly, I watch this while I'm jogging on the treadmill, but I'd imagine that it could also be great for a stretching or yoga session. It's probably not the best thing to watch if you really want to break a sweat, but for people who like to do a little walking or light jogging, it's a great thing to watch. The music is peaceful and relaxing and the animals are cute. It almost makes you feel like you're walking outdoors in the wild.

Well done!
That is my cat likes it. She loves to listen to classical music, once in a while she glances at the screen. Keeps her occupied so I can work.

Not bad, if your TV's from 1990
It's really not bad for what it is, and I guess I could have read the details more carefully, but just be advised, this is not HD.Would be five stars if it was HD and in a format fit for modern TV's.

great entertainment for people with Alzheimer's who like animals
I am a paid companion to people who have Alzheimer's. This DVD of animals with music and no narration, may be perfect entertainment for a person you know with dementia, who can no longer keep up with normal paced conversation or keep up with a story line. The animals movements keep them interested, and the music is beautiful. These are wild animals, and the movements/antics have been timed to the music, and is very entertaining for my clients (for me too!). Music is well-known melodies, very short lyrical pieces - so are enjoyable even if the person "hates" classical music. The video and the audio are good quality.

To soothe or not to soothe
This is one of those dvd's that you can do without. It might come in handy one day. Like a garden tea party for my daughter- inside- during winter.
