Hi, I saw Earth about a month ago, but I remember it well. I think it was the best movie since “Race to Wich Mountain”. But this movie was the cutest, interesting movie I have seen. This movie is unforgetable, a story that will open many hearts to nature. That’s what I think. But the movie is also funny/ the one bird dancing and cleaning its den. ( lol ). Well I want to see the movie again it is the best movie. But thats just my opinion.
Love Earth fan,
