Arctic Tale



This is a very educational movie - an issue that may cause serious damage to the whole environment!

I feel very heart-broken when Nanu's brother bear died because he wasn't able to find food due to the thinning ice which made it difficult to hunt. Nanu's mum urged him to continue and he tried very hard to fight on to survive but in the end they still lost him. Nanu & her mum snuggled beside him and finally let the snow bury him. Sigh....

On the other hand, there's this Walrus, Seela, which is food for Nanu & her family, had to 'migrate' and find land to cling onto due to global warming as well. WOW! I can never imagine they can eat 4,000 clams at one shot and that could last them for at least a long time!!!! No wonder they are so fat & flubby! When they swam to this "Rock Island", they had a hard time climbing up as they were too slippery & heavy! After eating 4,000 clams, they 'farted' a lot due to indigestion man! & I think swimming 200 miles a day doesn't help them lose those calories!

I also learnt that male polar bears do not like to share food with others. How Selfish! When Seela was caught by the male polar bear, one of her aunty went back to save her. In the end she sacrificed herself while Neela escaped and later she waited for the right male walrus to come along and mated (like humans!!). Walruses loved music! and a male walrus can serenade a female for 50 hours in order to win her love! How romantic!!!

There were unicorns in the sea too! Very interesting creatures! but all very vulnerable to the effects of global warming.

The music was very nice too! I loved the music when the walruses felt itchy and needed to scratch themselves due to the heat. The music was spot on! Very lively & playful, yet describing the scenario very aptly.

In the end Nanu gave birth to a pair of bear cubs too! So cute!!!!!

IF we do nothing to stop global warming, all the ice in the arctic will melt by 2040! That's a scary 33 years from now!!!! I can't imagine what implications this means but probably Singapore would sink or flooded... and the whole world will come to an end due to flooding and polar bears are swept to Singapore?
