The rain forest is a riot of monkeys, birds, flowers, and fruit, and nothing captures it quite like DK Vision's Eyewitness: Jungle. Explore the five zones of the jungle, from the rivers right on up to the high-rise canopy, without risking malaria (or leaving your couch). The vibrancy of tropical life is made vivid by DK Vision's trademark cutting-edge visual style, which features lunching ants and leaping lemurs as some of the many stars in an infinitely graceful ballet. The facts presented by narrator Martin Sheen are fascinating and well-ordered--for example, the word "jungle" is actually a misnomer, applied by early explorers who thought the impenetrable thickness of plant growth on the river banks extended throughout the forest, and used a Sanskrit word (jangala) meaning "dense growth." Eyewitness: Jungle promises attractions for all ages: learning, visual appeal, beauty, and just plain fun. --Rob Lightner
