Watching the movie "Earth" with my grandson

I took my grandson to the movie Earth. He's an active 5-year-old with a short attention span (but he's so cute anyway). And believe it or not, he actually watched the whole thing, without much fidgeting.

There was this particularly heartbreaking scene toward the end of the film.

A male polar bear, out of sheer desperation, is forced to go after unlikely prey -- some sort of abundant group of very large sea-lion-like animals (and why are they so abundant?). He is desperate because of current environmental circumstances affecting his means of survival (which I don't totally understand why, yet). Anyway, he was too weak at this stage to overtake any of them, and after several attempts, and in the midst of hundreds (if not thousands) of these obnoxious sea-lion-like animals, he curled into a ball and died. It was truly heartbreaking to watch.

However, the two cubs they followed from birth did survive (at least to the young adult stage), so maybe there is some hope. Who knows what will ultimately survive and what won't, over time.

Overall the entire film is truly spectacular, as well as heart-breaking, astounding, a little scary and so much more, and I can't wait to see it again.
