Arctic Tale is a 2007 documentary film from the National Geographic Society about the life cycle of a walrus and her calf, and a polar bear and her cubs, in a similar vein to the 2005 hit production March of the Penguins, also from National Geographic. It was directed by Adam Ravetch and Sarah Robertson and is narrated by Queen Latifah. The animal characters named in the movie, "Nanu" the female polar bear and "Seela" the female walrus, are based on composites of animals in their species, as noted at the end of the film.
It was written by Barry and Ashley Gibb in 2004, and recorded by Barry in August or September 2004 in Middle Ear Studios, Miami Beach, Florida, same session as "Doctor Mann" and the unreleased "Starcrossed Lovers" both songs were also written by Barry and Ashley Gibb and engineered by Brian Tench. [2] The first CD released of "Underworld" was on the film soundtrack of Arctic Tale with songs by various artists including Brian Wilson and Aimee Mann. But this track is not featured on the film so its inclusion appears to be the result of a business deal. [3]
