This dazzling wildlife spectacle propels us into the very private world of some of our most endearing critters.

A live action 'Fantasia' features mighty whales breaching, charging elephants, the big cats, and dozens of favourites performing with the symphony orchestra.

Nevertheless, the atmosphere is no less suffocating, literally and dramatically.
