Movie Haiku:Call me hard-hearted, but there is only so long I can tolerate overly-anthropomorphic nature films about creatures who suffer for the sins of man. Irving has wonderful footage of Pacific pelicans in the wild, but once they are captured--usually because they are ill &/or injured--she turns her subjects into pets & starts writing dialogue for them. Oy! NOT YET SEEN BY RICH.
