LOVE this movie!!!
My kids LOVE this movie and frankly it's done well enough that I actually don't mind repetitive viewings.There are people saying this is a no go of a film for sensitive kids. My 5 yo is VERY sensitive, but all we needed to do was pause the movie and talk about it a little and then it was fine. There is peril in the ocean for many critters and I think this movie handles it well for the younger set. We opted for this over Nemo because I knew my kids would have nightmares about the big grinning shark (sharks in Turtle Tale were a little scary but not as bad as Nemo or Reef).To the people saying that this film is trying to indoctrinate kids about evil humans and Green Peace...remember that this movie is told in flashback from the viewpoint of a 50 year old turtle. He isn't throwing propaganda, he's simply remembering the details of his experience through the decades when many of us humans used to think nothing of dumping all manner of stuff in the ocean and other groups of us were fairly militant about protecting our natural resources. It's Sammy turtle's life experience and history through his eyes. And it's not a bad thing to show our kids the mistakes we've made with our planet and help them see te benefit of trying to keep it clean.

Super adorable kids movie!
We love this movie! My son has watched it 100 times he repeat all the words to it. I love this movie from a parent perspective. I feel like it's got some great aspects to it. Relationships and environmental care. The oil spill was something we were able to talk about and research further. He learned a lot about recycling and how to keep our environment clean so that the next generation can enjoy the beauty our earth has to offer. We talk about friendships and even though people leave you stay friends and can reunite. This isn't one of those annoying kids movie either I enjoy watching it with my kids and talking to them about different parts of the movie. The music in it is great too I really enjoy all the songs and we sing them regularly. If you are thinking of purchasing this movie for you and your family you should do it. You won't be sorry it's really adorable!

Stunning 3D Bluray animation for young kids but very strong 3D
This 2011 3D Bluray is good for young kids (or adults who like 3D) who understand English or who can read English subtitles. It is the second of two in this series and it has a 3D disc for electronic glasses(or 2D) viewing and a 3D anaglyph (red blue paper glasses) disc both in Region B mode. At the moment (Jan 2013) its only available from Hong Kong. The 3D is a much stronger than you get from major studio animations with many out of the screen shots, so as always for 3D if that bothers you, you may want to sit back further or take a rest or switch to 2D mode or of course you can close one eye. The first title in the series is the 2009 DVD Sammy's Adventures (not bluray) that is only in 2D or anaglyph (see review).

All about finding his mate.
I appreciate the movie showing how we can harm the ocean and life within it but the last half of the movie felt uncomfortable as Sammy eagerly sought out his mate, Shelly, both looking like child turtles. Some scenes felt awkward and uncomfortable for the age group this movie was created for. Sea turtles caressing each other in hidden places and the scene of Sammy being blind folded and Shelly looking sexy teasing him to follow. Okay, sea turtles mate and have baby sea turtles-great we can talk about that with our kids-but it had slightly sexual scenes and it was not right for a children’s movie especially so when the sea turtles look so childlike. It wasn’t the greatest movie for our family of 5 and 8. We try to always ask ourselves after watching or reading something: where was the good, truth or beauty in this. Last, this movie lacked light hearted humor. More of a serious movie with cute looking sea animals. I encourage you to move on. Better movies out there.

3D Referenz für Jung und Alt
Die kleine Schildkröte Sammy (gesprochen von Matthias Schweighöfer) erlebt auf der Suche nach der geheimen Passage ein Abenteuer nach dem anderen. Er verliert seinen Kumpel Ray (gesprochen von Axel Stein), sucht seine "Jugendliebe" Shelly (gesprochen von Lena Meyer-Landrut) und verirrt sich dabei ins arktische Meer.85 Minuten Unterhaltung für die ganze Familie! Die Story ist nicht weltbewegend, aber der Film ist sehr süß gemacht und es gibt an vielen Stellen etwas zu lachen. Im Vordergrund steht aber definitiv der 3D-Effekt, hier wird das Maximum aus der Technik rausgeholt, ein Effekt jagt den nächsten! Im Vergleich zu anderen 3D Filmen (auch Animationsfilme) hat Sammys Abenteuer eindeutig die Nase vorn, diese Scheibe ist absolute Referenz.Man hat das Gefühl das Wasser läuft aus dem Fernseher, die Fische springen einem entgegen, Vögel fliegen durchs Wohnzimmer und und und. Sehr viele Popouts, z.B. die Schnäbel der Vögel, die einem fast das Auge ausstechen, eine Schlange, die aus dem Fernseher geschossen kommt (siehe Foto), rasante Kamerafahrten und eine unglaubliche Tiefe! Einfach fantastisch! Dabei handelt es sich um eine belgische Produktion, weit entfernt von Hollywood, Disney und Co.Die deutsche Synchronisation ist sehr gut und mit Matthias Schweighöfer und Lena in den "Hauptrollen" top besetzt. Leider hat die englische Originalsprache ihren Weg nicht auf die BluRay gefunden, schade! Die deutsche Tonspur liegt in DTS HD Master 5.1 vor und punktet mit den richtig platzierten Effekten und einem stimmungsvollen Soundtrack.Das Bonusmaterial ist durchschnittlich und beschäftigt sich in erster Linie mit der Synchronisation (Musik-Clip mit Lena, Interviews mit den Sprechern, Making Of im Tonstudio etc.) dazu noch ein paar Trailer und eine Rubrik "Wissenswertes" (für Kinder).Für mich momentan der beste 3D Film, ich bin gespannt auf Teil 2 (November 2012 im Kino).Fazit:Story 4/5Ton 5/5Bild 6/5 ;-)Somit satte und glatte 5 Punkte für diesen süßen Real 3D Familienfilm!
