Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This 40-minute short lost the Oscar to 'King Gimp,' a film about an artist with cerebral palsy, in one of the most random Oscar categories ever.
Greg MacGillivray basically invented the modern IMAX nature documentary — this is his aquatic 'Greatest Hits' before Blue Planet existed.
