Experience the wonder and drama of the Earth's five oceans in this Disneynature documentary. By exploring the water alongside sharks and facing the harsh realities of the food chain as the predators of some animals become the prey of others, Perrin invites us to appreciate the fierce majesty of marine life in a new, deeply intimate way.
The film’s rigorous commitment to probing the undersea kingdom’s oddities separates it from the usual tepid Discovery Channel fare, and those looking for marine exotica and savagery will thrill to a sea slug that shimmies like a flamenco dancer and an orgiastic feeding frenzy involving dolphins, sharks and a school of sardines.

Perfect for families and exquisitely shot, this entry from the Disneynature division is even better and fresher than last year's "Earth."
St. Louis Post-Dispatch by Joe Williams
An evolutionary leap forward, a visually exquisite film that doesn't ignore the truths of pollution and predatory survival.
Boxoffice Magazine by Pete Hammond
Narrated by Pierce Brosnan, Oceans is simply amazing at times, a truly remarkable and extraordinary journey under the sea that takes us places we have never been before.
Orlando Sentinel by Roger Moore
The wow factor alone makes Oceans a great Earth Day/Earth Week at the movies.
Philadelphia Inquirer by Steven Rea
The music is symphonic, the cinematography spectacular, the narration — ay, there's the rub. In Oceans, the latest Disney nature documentary, the voice-over almost manages to turn the majestic into the mundane. Almost.
Unlike in “Winged Migration,’’ the majestic imagery fails to tell a story or advance a message.
This documentary follows three remarkable, yet sadly endangered, families of animals across the globe.
Five film crews follow a rich variety of bird migrations through forty countries and across each of the seven continents.
