Seeing that picture, to quote Cleveland Brown from Family Guy:
"AAAAH, what the hell is that creepy thing!?"

The Pygmy Marmoset? It’s the smallest monkey and one of the smallest primates, and they’re awesome!
My kid and I are huge fans of PBS' Deep Look YouTube channel which is similar to this. Can't wait!
This is my kind of show. I love the Planet Earth docuseries, as well as numerous other nature documentaries. All the varieties narrated by David Attenborough are among the best.
They are great for both watching with interest, and also keeping on in the background while sleeping or studying.

Tiny World narration by Ant Man. I get it!

It seems like at some point in the not too distant past, a gritty bunch of nature photogs risked life and limb to gather all the footage for every nature documentary that will ever be made. I've literally seen the same footage 1,275,639,784 times. The only difference is the narrator. When they can't get Sir David, it's always some rando actor/actress. But the footage is always the same. In fact, I'd bet at least a dollar that the footage of the Peacock Spider in Tiny World trailer is some of this exact same footage with Rudd's voice over.
To be fair, it won't stop me from watching Tiny World. I love nature shows.
And edited on 52,000 dollar Mac Pro’s with two 15,000 dollar nano texture XDR displays.
I suppose this will just be another in a long list of Apple TV+ shows that some will have no interest in.
Looks awesome to me 🙂

I will definitely watch. This is the kind of tv I think Apple should make more of, along with history. So many channels have plunged into reality tv and there is very little substance left. Apple could do well in such a market area.
I’ve been watching nature documentaries for decades and American-made nature documentaries are so dumbed down. Turning the trials and tribulations of our fellow living beings into little anthropomorphic, Disney-esque dramas.
Watching this trailer is like watching “Wind in the Willows”. I’m surprised the toad crossing the road isn’t wearing a tiny waistcoat. But you are a grown up! Watch some David Attenborough, or some Werner Herzog, whilst the kids are watching this.
It’s true what Lou Reed said in “Last Great American Whale”:
Well Americans don't care for much of anything
Land and water the least
And animal life is low on the totem pole
With human life not worth more than infected yeast
Americans don't care too much for beauty
They'll **** in a river, dump battery acid in a stream
They'll watch dead rats wash up on the beach
And complain if they can't swim
They say things are done for the majority
Don't believe half of what you see and none of what you hear
It's like what my painter friend Donald said to me
"Stick a fork in their ass and turn them over, they're done"

4d3d3d3 is clearly engaged here. Now this I can get into.
The man is a legend, but I'm happy to see some variety in the world of nature doc narration. Nothing wrong with a few different voices now and then.
Gonna have to agree with this one. And some of the lines like "even the smallest hero can have the biggest adventure" are a bit on the nose (sounds like something from a 90's kid movie). But overall this looks promising! I'm always down for a well-made nature series.

Very loving realization of stories.
But at least the trailer is based on excessive use of CGI.
As a child I watched a lot of European nature documentaries, which were elaborately observing nature over many months and years and then showed unaltered pictures. Only cut and time-stretching was allowed as a technical means. It ment a code of honor. Since this is hardly affordable today, there are only a few filmmakers and teams left who keep up this tradition. Of course, the use of computers helps here to achieve faster success. Ratatouille has been a nice straight forward CGI, but this mixed form of Tiny World becomes somehow unpleasant.
I would like to see the series, with times of CGI fake use should be pointed out, in the trailer probably 40% (e.g. as a small colored dot in the upper right corner of the picture or optional subtitle info). Then I might fall in love with that format too.
Otherwise one should consider it a continuing attempt to cheat. And it is no documentary, it is Disney/Pixar.
Imagine your children think that this is a reality they can experience, how disappointed they will be from a walk in nature...
