5 Comments on The Incredible Journey of the Butterflies

The video was beautiful but had unexpected coverage of Hispanic mysticism… day of the dead and worshiping dead relatives… not what I expected in a butterfly movie… I bought the movie for my 5 year old daughter who likes butterflies but I had to turn it off…

I am 62 years old and have been a photographer most of my life. The photography and ability to follow the Monarch butterflies on their journey is remarkable.

I purchased this video by mistake, thinking it was a different special I had seen on PBS. Nonetheless, we kept it, and watched it….over and over and over! My five year old daughter absolutely loves it. Very educational and awe inspiring!

Indeed, it’s a lovely program about absolutely amazing creatures. As always with NOVA, superbly done. One thing: In two very un-Nova moments, in two segments they use soprano vocal “singing” (over orchestral) that is ear-splitting, spine-slicing, cruelly painful to some of us with sensitive hearing! Yikes! It actually triggers a migraine. Although I’ve watched this episode several times, I still have never heard what Stockard Chaning says about the chrysalis and then in the mating segment because that music is unbearable and I have to mute the volume (and take an Imitrex for migraine). But the other 50 minutes of this Nova episode are wonderful.

I saw this on Nova recently and was so fascinated I didn’t even blink during the whole thing! I’m giving it to my grand-daughter ( if I can part with it) because it is so well done and the story so Incredible! Makes you think – “if a butterfly can do this, I can do anything”
