Plot: While practically everyone is aware of the fact that birds fly south for the winter, and return home in the spring, few are aware of just how arduous the journey can be. Jacques Perrin, a noted actor and film producer in his native France, decided to document this process, using flocks of birds who had been trained to ignore the distractions of his camera crew, and employing a variety of state-of-the-art technology to capture as unobtrusively as possible the flight paths of different birds from around the globe. The result was Winged Migration, a visually dazzling documentary that records the flight of dozens of different birds as they follow their navigational instincts and make the taxing journey to more temperate climates in the fall, all chronicled without the use of narration. The first directorial effort for Perrin, Winged Migration received an Academy Award nomination for Best Documentary. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Saw this Doc/Wildlife movie in the theaters, at the time I was 21/22, not many guys my age would line up to see this type of movie, let alone it be a Documentary on migrations of different bird species. As a film fan, whether it be regular movies or Documentaries this one looked interesting. Let me tell you this is a beautiful movie, how the filmmakers got so close to the birds beats me, I remember scenes where the camera is right there with the bird as it is in flight, such wonderful cinema-photography, beautiful score and I believe Morgan Freeman did the voice over/ narration... been a long time since I saw this film. But after watching it in theater I told everyone it's worth seeing, and definitely worth checking out on DVD, maybe just maybe this will get a Blu Ray release see this fine Documentary on crystal clear HD TV.

This is a wonderful movie for all ages.

If you haven't seen this yet, you are truly missing something amazing. Even if you are not a bird lover, you will be amazed by the strength, perseverance and challenges birds experience during their migration.

This is a great "nature" piece constantly leaving the viewer wondering where the camera is and how did they get those fantastic shots?
