Didn't you know?

We watched The Gruffalo twice and loved it. It had a LOT of things-eating-things in every scene, I think, mainly as background. But the children didn't mind that (not like the penguins documentary which upset Linnea terrible and we had to stop watching after a mother penguin was eaten by a seal and some babies froze to death on the ice).

Usually with a really syrupy voice-over and emo. sound track added.

I have traumatic memories of Survival Specials when I was a child and a father who insisted on watching, and making me watch the really icky bits 'cos "it's nature".

The one I remember was about Tigers, and they filmed a cub dying over several hours when it could have been saved really easily. I don't object when one animal eats another - that's what they do, but I do loathe what is little more than death-porn and 'we can't interfere' being used as an excuse.
