Released to coincide with this summer's ill-fated teen-idol biopic Wild America, which followed Marty Stouffer and his brother's formative years as aspiring documentary filmmakers, this retrospective provides a highlight reel from the first decade of the PBS series that lent the film its name. While the tape amply demonstrates that program's excellent job of examining the habits of Red-Blooded American animals—in that regard, it puts the Jonathan Taylor Thomas vehicle to shame—at a scant half hour it's simply not enough, playing more like an extended advertisement for the program than a discrete documentary. Stouffer provides genial narration, explaining some of his methods and discussing some of the clips, but not enough to flesh out the project or stress his program's importance. While no one wanting to see first-rate animal footage—ranging from frolicking baby cougars to a painfully explicit look at how a skunk excretes its noxious fluid—will walk away mad, they're probably better off seeking out individual episodes of Stouffer's program.
