Summary: Wonderful hummingbirds
Date: 2008-02-10 - 
Comment: This video is incredible and has so much information that you have to watch it several times. The photography was amazing. The attention to detail is something that would be of interest to birders. It shows behaviors in slow motion and stop action that are not seen everyday.

Summary: Just as good as a "Nature" program!
Date: 2006-07-08 -
Comment: In my opinion, this video is not over-narrated at all. The videography is amazing and clear, capturing moments the human eye would never see. The narration is educational and provides wonderful facts about the birds. This is a real winner with my 7-yr-old, 3-yr-old and the parents!

Summary: Hooked on Hummingbirds

Comment: Awesome! There is just no other way to describe it. The photography, narration and music are as well-done and perfectly matched as I've ever seen. I knew maybe 10% of the information in the show, and never had seen slow-motion used so effectively. You have to wonder how he got those fabulous nest-building and brooding scenes. A very enjoyable learning experience. Definitely not for zombies who just want pretty pictures and music. My entire family loved it.
Summary: Over Narrated
Date: 2006-01-10 - 
Comment: This DVD has lots of beautiful video and photography, but that beauty is grossly diminished by an overbearing, condescending, and monotone narration that is also too loud. It would be a beautiful DVD if the narrator would shut up and not insult the intelligence of the viewer. It should follow the pattern of Winged Migrations using just music and natural sounds and a few subtitles. Instead it reads like a boring catalogue instead of a beautiful symphony. They should have had at least one version with just music and natural sounds, and then the current version could just be used in elementary school classes. There is room on DVDs for both, but the creator of this DVD is not very sophisticated in the art of film making.

Summary: Hooked on These Hummers
Date: 2005-10-30 -
Comment: Witty, charming, incredibly informative and fascinating to watch-----these are just a few of the ways I would describe "Hooked on Hummingbirds." The photography is truly amazing, especially the slow-motion scenes. The narration sounds as though it comes straight from a National Geographic program (but with a sense of humor), and the music is perfectly matched with the action. This DVD conveys a sense of real wonder and respect for these remarkable little creatures, a combination of science and heart. Speaking of heart, it even shows what a human heart would look like if it could pump as fast as a hummingbird's. It is as educational as it is entertaining, and I learn something new every time I watch it. I also like seeing so many different species in addition to the Ruby-throated Hummingbird, which is the only one we seen here in Delaware. There are rewards for everyone in "Hooked on Hummingbirds." It gets my highest recommendation.
