Description
A musical video celebration of Earth. Journey with us on a 17 billion light-year voyage of the imagination. We begin outside the known universe and penetrate the four dimensional boundaries of space itself in the long voyage to Earth. Next, the great landforms of "The Wonderful Planet" sweep before us. A testament to the awesome power of nature, this program also covers endangered species, the rainforest of the great Amazon River, the plant kingdom and the natural colors of the Earth, from dazzling sunsets and rainbows to the red heat of molten lava and the cool blue waters of a woodland pond. This is a climactic salute to our home world, which is truly "The Wonderful Planet."

5 out of 5 stars A Sensational Music Video Tribute to Planet Earth.......2001-02-01

Probably no other director has made as many long form music videos as Don Barrett. The Wonderful Planet was commissioned as an Earthday tribute to our home world. Shot on all seven continents it depicts a natural world that is quickly disappearing. Especially noteworthy is Forest of the Amazon; a reminder of what is happening to the great rain forest. I loved it and so did my children

1 out of 5 stars Poor Quality DVD.......2000-12-07

I was very dissapointed with the quality of the dvd. It was grainy and looked like old footage from public tv specials spliced together.

5 out of 5 stars Earth As You've Never Seen It.......2000-08-31

A musical video to Earth, The Wonderful Planet was actually shot in film on all seven continents. It begins with an overture, a 15 billion light year journey to Earth. Subsequent chapters deal with "The Land", "Endangered Species", "Forest of the Amazon", "A World of Color", "Waltz of the Flowers" and the Grand Finale.

The Wonderful Planet reminds us of the precision world in which we live.

Director Don Barrett's editing work is superb, especially in "Forest of the Amazon". The 35mm film original really pops with color. A beautiful DVD!!!
