Jungle Cat

"Take off on an amazing adventure to Brazil and discover the supreme ruler of the Amazon jungle-the jaguar. Set against a backdrop of stunning waterfalls, breathtaking vistas and exotic flowers, Jungle Cat offers an intimate glimpse into the lives of a jaguar family in life-and-death struggles with crocodiles, wild pigs and strange seven-foot-long burping fish called pirarucu."

Mars and Beyond

"From the TV series Disneyland, the Tomorrowland special Mars and Beyond uses animation to explore humankind's early views on the universe and life on Mars. The show then focuses on each of the planets and what it would take for humans to surive."

Man in Space

"From the TV series Disneyland, Man in Space was the first of the Tomorrowland specials. Walt Disney introduces this animated look at the history of rocketry and the many challenges of space exploration and travel."

Prowlers of the Everglades

"Travel back in time as a primeval reptile stalks its prey in 'the swamp that time forgot.' Watch as the alligator, the unquestioned apex predator of the Everglades, follows its cycle of life much the same as it did in prehistoric times. Coy females lead fierce bulls into vicious mating battles, mothers struggle to keep their nests safe from scavenging egg thieves and baby alligators struggle to survive even the short trip from their nest to the dazzling and disorienting world beneath the surface of the water."

The Olympic Elk

"Join the majestic Olympic elk as they traverse the alpine path from their winter home in the lowland shadow of Washington's Mount Olympus, to the fertile grazing grounds of its towering peaks. While new mothers do their best to protect their young from roaming predators, young bulls challenge stalwart elders for the right to collect a family of their own."

Nature’s Half-Acre

"The strange and wonderful world that lies beneath our feet, under leaf, log and rock, peopled by millions of weird and fascinating creatures. Where dragons the size of ants wage war in a teacup-sized arena and the blooming of a single flower comes with the glory and grandeur of a sunrise. Where life and love, death and destiny, dwell for a moment and Creation's dawn each day is a never-ending pageant. Highlighted by the 'Symphony of Spring,' a thrilling musical treat."

Water Birds

"Experience the beauty and variety of these majestic birds once worshipped by primitive man. From the still waters of lagoons and marshes to the wild blue wilderness of the vast oceans, each bird is perfectly designed for its natural habitat. Witness the poetry in motion of the pelican, a master fisherman, diving for his next meal, and the comical antics of wester grebes as they tiptoe across the surface of the water to attract a mate. Also featuring a collection of classical music set to masterful photography of birds in flight.

In Beaver Valley

"Another of Walt Disney's True-Life Adventures features a glimpse of nature's own engineer hard at work in the wild. A young male beaver finds himself the head of his own family after successfully wooing a female and her kit, then quickly goes to work building a suitable home before winter arrives. Pressure mounts as a hungry coyote sets his sights on the young family, and a rollicking bevy of playful river otters threatens to derail construction. This 1950 Academy Award-winning short also includes the ill-fated journey of Salmon returning to lay their eggs and a musical interlude featuring the 'soulful serenade of the lovelorn frogs.'"

Mafia Confidential

"Toto Riina was, without a doubt, one of the most ferocious and ruthless Mafia bosses of all time - more than living up to his nicknames, "The Beast" and "The Boss of The Bosses." This fascinating new biography charts his story from poverty-stricken beginnings to head of the Cosa Nostra - via a route littered with crime and indiscriminate murder - to his capture in 1993 and his death behind bars last year. Key episodes and events in his life are revisited through the people who have known, feared or fought him. These include a senior prosecutor in charge of the State-Mafia Pact, his one-time closest aide and trusted driver, a female photographer who became a target, a detective and the wife of one of his victims."

Jane

"Drawing from over 100 hours of previously unseen archival footage, director Brett Morgen tells the story of JANE, a woman whose chimpanzee research revolutionized our understanding of the natural world. Set to a rich orchestral score from legendary composer Philip Glass, the film offers an intimate portrait of Jane Goodall - a trailblazer who became on of the world's most admired conservationists."
