I do recommend watching the creature-cam special feature; it provides a previously unseen glimpse into the Emporors' hunting methods that is spectacular.
I bought the DVD for my parents for Christmas and we watched it together with my husband. Simply amazing, jaw dropping cinematography. The devotion of both parents to the survival of their babies is incredible. When any of them died, it was heartbreaking because you know how hard they had fought to come to that place.
I didn't see the extras, but I'm going to buy the DVD for myself and look at them. I hear they are fantastic.
