"We were pretending to be scuba divers and taking pictures of all the sea animals. We use our imagination and Ms. Crawley teaches us about the animals." The children were captivated by the colors and the feeling that they were actually in the ocean with the dolphins, sharks, crabs, lobsters, whales and Nemo! "I liked the way the fish all got together in a ball - creating the 'school of fish'." They all enjoyed rewarding themselves with a "sea lion clap!" A couple of the kids started creating motions as if they were swimming. They showed surprise at learning new facts about animals they thought they already knew. "I liked the Scuba diving the best, because it sounded cool to be able to see even more sea animals closer up!" "I really liked how they got near to the fish and they even got a microscopic view on some of them."
A wonderful film packed full of information about California's sea life. The information is presented in a simple and fun fashion, that is entertaining for a younger audience. Filled with an array of visual stimulus, with amazing cinematography. The clarity of the sea creatures and the brilliance of their colors is eye-catching and sure to attract and draw the audience in. Sure to motivate youngsters to want to learn more about sea creatures. Ocean Annie does an excellent job of respecting her viewers as young children. She is enthusiastic without being condescending. I liked how they introduced the kids to the outfits of a scuba diver. The use of repetition and counting helps to get viewers interact.
Ocean Annie, Makaio and Fringy are back form the deep in their yellow submarine, the Imagination Explorer, to take you on another adventure to explore California. Go diving with sharks, crabs, lobster, sea stars and find your way to a sea lion rookery! Look for whales and dolphins too.
