I commend Disney for their Earth conscious promotion with their new movie hitting theaters tomorrow, "Earth." I'm sure you've seen or heard the promotion, as every ticket sold in the first week of the films run will effectively also buy a tree to be planted by the studio.
I wasn't that excited about this movie when I first heard about it, strange for a quasi-environmentalist. The film looked like a lot of recycled footage from the "Planet Earth" series, which was amazing but seemed Disney-like to rehash it for additional gains. This promotion has won me over though, as has the response of over 500,000 people who have already purchased tickets in advance for the movie. I can only hope that Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures Group will live up to their deal, and I believe they will.
If you are interested in joining the cause, how much simpler could it be than going to the movies, and taking in amazing footage of our beautiful planet and its creatures. You have a week from tomorrow to support the cause, so get on it. To entice you just a bit more, James Earl Jones is performing the narration, and could there be a better voice and actor to speak over the Earth? It is as if we are all little Simbas, listening to Mufasa giving us our commission. I'm excited, and the direction by Alastair Fothergill and Mark Linfield, the partners behind "Planet Earth" is sure to be as captivating and story telling as the "Planet Earth" series was.
