Look! Up in the air! Birds have long been subjects of human fascination--and envy.
Creatures Fantastic: Birds & Wings peers into our feathered mythology with splendid storytelling and topnotch computer-aided videography, retelling the ancient stories of the thunderbird, the phoenix, and many others. Watch Sinbad catch a ride on the giant roc, catch a glimpse of Icarus trying out his own wings, and take a journey with the ibis-headed Egyptian god Thoth to the Land of the Dead. As usual, DK Vision's graphics are stunning and bring the stories to vivid life in a way that is fascinating for kids and adults alike. We may have built machines that fly higher and faster, but
Creatures Fantastic shows us that birds were airborne before it was cool, and they're still the experts.
