A while back I posted about WILD ALASKA LIVE. This is an event on PBS that will be hosted by Chris and Martin Kratt, the Kratt Brothers. WILD ALASKA LIVE will premiere Sunday, July 23 at 8pm ET. Then Over three nights (July 23, 26 and 30), PBS will turn the cameras on a must-see natural spectacle as thousands of animals like bears, wolves, beavers, moose, orcas and eagles, gather to take part in Alaska’s amazing summer feast. Think of it as the world’s greatest vacation, without having to leave your couch or making the kids put on their mittens.
For an ultimate family experience, WILD ALASKA LIVE will also be simulcast on the new PBS KIDS 24/7 channel and via live stream. Also be sure to tune into two new WILD KRATTS one-hour specials — WILD KRATTS: Creatures of the Deep Sea (July 23) and the all-new WILD KRATTS Alaska: Hero’s Journey (July 26 and 30).
This is a must-see family viewing event. Here is a video teaser with the Kratt Brothers.
In an epic story of breathtaking scale, Disneynature’s new True Life Adventure “Bears” showcases a year in the life of a bear family as two impressionable young cubs are taught life’s most important lessons. Set against a majestic Alaskan backdrop teeming with life, their journey begins as winter comes to an end and the bears emerge from hibernation to face the bitter cold. The world outside is exciting—but risky—as the cubs’ playful descent down the mountain carries with it a looming threat of avalanches. As the season changes from spring to summer, the brown bears must work hard to find food—ultimately feasting at a plentiful salmon run—while staying safe from rival male bears and predators, including an ever-present wolf pack. “Bears” captures the fast-moving action and suspense of life in one of the planet’s last great wildernesses—Alaska! Directed by Alastair Fothergill (“Earth,” “African Cats” and “Chimpanzee”) and Keith Scholey (“African Cats”), “Bears” arrives in theaters April 18, 2014, to celebrate Earth Day.
