![]() The over-arching theme of David Fowler’s script is the “balance” of the reef community that keeps it healthy - fish and turtles that prune it, reef sharks that keep the pruners at bay, tiger sharks that dine on reef sharks, at times, and so on. We meet a peacock mantis shrimp, humpback whales trying to avoid the predations of orcas, clown fish and rock-chewing parrotfish, whose “sand poop” has a lot to do why some places have sandier beaches than others.Īnd then there’s the mesmerizing, bio-luminescent cuttlefish, the most feared predator among the crabs, shrimp and smaller fish on the reef. “When no one’s around,” Portman narrates, “it’s a PARTY down there!” In a flash, the prey comes out, en masse, as if to taunt him. ![]() This one takes us to a gorgeous, still-unruined reef in Polynesia to tell the story of Echo, a three year-old still learning dolphin-lore, and his mother, Kuma, who tries to teach him to herd fish via mud circles (stirring up a corral of muddy water on the bottom), or echo-locate tiny, “tasty” razor fish, who burrow into the bottom sand to hide.Įcho is a bit of a slow-learner, giving up on the razorfish to go gulp a little air. We see dolphins engaged in an underwater brawl, something Disney, BBC and other docs on dolphins have missed.Īnd we witness that rarest of underwater tussles, two green sea turtles feuding over a spot on an underwater outcropping where they need to wait their turn to have their shells and unreachable bits “cleaned” by helpful turtle-waxing fish.Īdd to that Oscar winner Natalie Portman‘s enthusiastic narration, and you’ve got the kid-friendliest of the salt water films DisneyNature has served up, anthropomorphized and light - with just enough peril to keep it “real.”ĭirector Keith Scholey’s team did a “Diving With Dolphins” film concurrently with this one, and served up “Blue” a few years back. A couple of things make the lovely and entertaining “Dolphin Reef” stand out among the deep-sea documentaries DisneyNature has served up on previous Earth Days. There have been studies on a great number of image processing applications carried out, such as OsiriX 3D®, Amira® or Analized®, which have definitely proven its efficacy in medical practice. It is also possible to interact with these 3D images simulating the surgery that will take place and producing predictions as to the postoperative outcome in soft and hard tissues. The move from 2D to 3D imaging provides surgeons, students and patients with extra information that cannot be obtained only from conventional tomographies. Anatomía Humana University of Valladolid Avda Ramón y Cajal, 7- Valladolid ABSTRACT volumetric data from Computed tomography (CT) or, more recently, Cone Beam Computed tomography (CBCT) can be converted into 3D images of craniofacial skeleton and the soft tissue covering it.
