Sure, we’ve always been huge fans of BILL NYE THE SCIENCE GUY, but we have to say that when it comes to making science and nature cool, PLANET EARTH takes the cake. We’ve been trying for some time now to replace all Chuck Norris jokes with David Attenborough jokes, but our efforts have been futile.
Regardless, today is the release of PLANET EARTH: LIMITED EDITION and PLANET EARTH: SPECIAL EDITION. The difference between the two is not much. Both include the 6 disc set of the complete series, plus over three hours of bonus footage and a sneak peak at director Alastair Fothergill’s next project, FROZEN PLANET. Also, both are narrated by the science superhero himself, David Attenborough.
More specifically, the LIMITED EDITION comes in an exclusive collectable globe package with an exclusive set of four art cards. The SPECIAL EDITION Blu-ray features some other features that weren’t included in the original Blu-ray release, like bonus series PLANET EARTH: THE FUTURE and eleven more video diaries.
If you haven’t yet had this series blow your mind, we recommend asking for it for the holidays! Being educational, it’s likely that you’ll get it AND they’ll probably want to watch it with you.
