Editorial Review:

Description:
The Man Who Planted Trees tells the story of a solitary sheperd who patiently plants and nurtures a forest of thousands of trees, single-handedly transforming his arid surroundings into a thriving oasis. Undeterred by two World Wars, and without any thought of personal reward, the sheperd tirelessly sows his seeds and acorns with the greatest care. As if by magic, a landscape that seemed condemned grows green again. A film of great beauty and hope, this story is a remarkable parable for all ages and an inspiring testament to the power of one person.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Man Who Planted Trees.
This is a lovely story, beautifully told and narrated. The illustrations wonderfully understated, and all the more special for that. Christopher Plummer tells a story so well. Long may he be asked to do so!!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The cutest movie ever made
This is a set of animated movies by the Canadian Frederic Back. It contains 9 movies including 2 Oscar winners and one more nominee, and interviews. Each cel is crafted as a piece of art, something rarely seen.
The title story is one of the Oscar winner, a remarkably timeless tale from 1953 of a French Johnny Appleseed. The DVD has an interview with the author, Jean Giono.
My favorite is Crac, the other winner. It is a loving story from a simpler time, of a rocking chair, its life, death and rebirth, set to Nova Scotia dance music. Look for elaborate visual gags, bits of Canadian Indian lore and a hilarious ending in a museum of abstract art.
Through it all flows a strong sense of respect for nature.
On the downside: I spent a long time figuring out the menu. You have to mouse over and wait for a square icon to appear, then click it, otherwise it just cycles through a short preview over and ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Man Who Planted trees DVD
Superb content!!! The only slight niggle is that the DVDs were floating in the box when it arrived and although being brand new are already scratched ;-(



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - box set review
I am pleased with the actual DVD product content, but the packaging is as bad as noted in previous reviews. The DVDs were all loose within the unopened package due to defective packaging and were all scratched up. I watched the one I particularly wanted (The Man Who Planted Trees) and it was clear to watch with no skips, so I kept the whole set. It would be nice if they improved the packaging since the DVDs are so good.
