SOS Planet
Urgent, serious documentation of man’s continuing destruction of his own habitat is dramatized and intentionally simplified for both child and adult consumption, as host and narrator Walter Cronkite, live action footage and amazing computer-generated 3-D effects plunge audiences into three of our most threatened ecosystems. This informative and entertaining 40-minute film is an extension of a short feature attraction made by the Netherlands chapter of the World Wide Fund of Nature (known in the United States as the World Wildlife Fund) and nWave Pictures for the Efteling Theme Park. The film focuses primarily on the greenhouse effect, marine conservation and deforestation at the polar cap. We are introduced to native creatures whose threatened environments and very existence literally leap into our laps.
