"...There are a couple scenes of sublime power and mesmerizing grace, while the saga of these animals and their familial bonds is far more profoundly moving then any I could have imagined." - Sarah Michelle Fetters, Rope of Silicon
"THERE is something unnerving about watching a polar bear stalk across floating sea ice high in the Arctic and doing so from the frigid waters directly beneath the bear, the world’s largest four-legged predator. Overhead, through ice so thin that it is transparent, plate-size paws set down, one after the other, as the half-ton animal pursues its prey. Gripping moments like this abound in Arctic Tale ..." - Andy Revkin, The New York Times
"A hybrid of nature documentary and narrative feature, "Arctic Tale" is both a cool movie about two of the most interesting animals on Earth and a hot-topic cautionary tale about the threat to their way of life caused by humans." - The Miami Herald
"The Perfect Family Film" - Ben Lyons, E! Online
"Much care has been taken to make this tale family-friendly, and children should be captivated by the appealing animal characters... Adults may appreciate Arctic Tale, a presentation from National Geographic Films, less for its storytelling than its enchanting visuals..." - The Seattle Times
"Much of the footage is astonishing..." - Roger Ebert
"Queen Latifah provides a friendly and gently funny narration for the two tales of the challenges faced by a mother walrus and her pup and a polar bear and her two cubs in the Arctic... The movie captures the drama, humor and tragedy in a way that is reminiscent of March of the Penguins. Though it does anthropomorphize the animals, the device heightens our concern for their well-being." - USA Today
