This video is an episode from the television show, Audubon's Animal Adventures, which appears on the Disney Channel. The film examines the real nature of the wolf, and dispels some of the negative prejudices that surround this highly successful predator. The gentle side of wolf behavior is highlighted in shots of a wolf pack. Only the alpha female and male have babies. All other pack members hunt food and care for the young, so that the pack's best genes will be carried on. The film chronicles how the wolf was hunted almost to extinction by ranchers, hunters, and trappers before being placed on the endangered species list. Recent efforts to reintroduce the wolf into the wild are presented. With studies that show how the wolf plays an integral part in the natural regulation in the herd size of prey animals, the film puts in perspective the wolf's place in the earth's ecosystem. ~ Rose of Sharon Winter, All Movie Guide

This nature documentary takes a look at the world of the sea turtle, with marvelous footage of the creature on shore and in the sea. Sea turtles and their habitat have become threatened by human encroachment; hunting of the turtle for its shell, hide, and oil, and poaching of its eggs have decimated its numbers. Female sea turtles lay their eggs on holes in the beach. Lights are now prohibited in many beach communities to protect the breeding and hatching cycle of the sea turtle. Once the eggs hatch in from five to ten weeks, the instincts of the newborns immediately drive them into the sea, where some live, but many die. Thus, the cycle of life is completed. The green, hawksbill, and Kemp's ridley turtles are on the endangered species list. This film gives the viewer an opportunity to appreciate the beauty of the sea turtle and the fragility of its ecosystem. ~ Rose of Sharon Winter, All Movie Guide

Robin Williams's dizzying and hilarious voicing of the Genie is the main attraction of Aladdin, the third in the series of modern Disney animated movies that began with 1989's The Little Mermaid and heralded a new age for the genre. After a sultan (Douglas Seale) gives his daughter, Jasmine (Linda Larkin), three days to find a husband, she escapes the palace and encounters the street-savvy urchin Aladdin (Scott Weinger), who charms his way into her heart. While the sultan's Vizier, Jafar (Jonathan Freeman), weaves a spell so that he may marry Jasmine and become sultan himself, Aladdin discovers the Genie's lamp in a cave, rubs it, and sets the mystical entity free, leading the Genie to pledge his undying loyalty to the dazzled youth. Aladdin begins his quest to defeat Jafar and win the hand of the princess, with the Genie's help. Monsters, Disney's trademark talking animals, and a flying carpet all figure into the ensuing adventures, but Williams' Genie, who can change into anything or anybody, steals the show as he launches into one crazed monologue after another, impersonating figures from Ed Sullivan to Elvis Presley. ~ Don Kaye, All Movie Guide
