In the movie Arctic Tale, a lot of real world issues are portrayed. For example, mothers have to leave their young at a much earlier age than expected, the animals have to survive the extreme climate changes, and have to struggle to get the resources they need in order to survive. Arctic Tale is about a polar bear, Nanu, and a seal, Seela. Together they try to survive while the Arctic is quickly melting beneath them. Because the ice is melting earlier than expected Nanu's mother has to leave Nanu. Her mother made this hard decision because the only chance for either one of them surviving was if they didn't stay together. The extreme climate changes that are occurring in the Arctic is unrealistic to the animals, but it's happening. They want to stay in their herds but the chance of finding food for all of them is slim. The Arctic Ocean starts to expand because the ice takes longer to freeze and faster to melt. It is difficult to find a place to live. Global Warming is taking a toll on all of these animals lives. These animals are dying at an earlier age and becoming more and more extinct each day. In the movie, Nanu and Seela both struggle to find food. Nanu grows more hungry each day and finally, found food. However, it was up to a strong male polar bear if he was willing to share his find. Nanu eventually does get some food into her small body, however she is still hungry. Seela also encounters many dangers while trying to find a place to live. She is almost eaten and has to take a brutal fall down a steep cliff. The most interesting fact in this movie to me, was that if this continues to occur the Arctic will be ice free by 2040!
