Iain Stewart tells the epic story of how the planet has shaped our history. With
spectacular images, surprising stories and a compelling narrative, the series discovers the central role played in human history by four different planetary forces.
Episode 1: Water
Professor Iain Stewart continues his epic exploration of how the planet has shaped human history. This time he explores our complex relationship with water. Visiting spectacular locations in Iceland, the Middle East and India, Iain shows how control over water has been central to human existence. He takes a precarious flight in a motorised paraglider to experience the cycle of freshwater that we depend on, discovers how villagers in the foothills of the Himalayas have built a living bridge to cope with the monsoon, and visits Egypt to reveal the secret of the pharaohs' success. Throughout history, success has depended on our ability to adapt to and control constantly shifting sources of water.
Episode 2: Deep Earth
Iain Stewart tells the epic story of how the planet has shaped our history. With spectacular images, surprising stories and a compelling narrative, the series discovers the central role played in human history by four different planetary forces. In this first episode, Iain explores the relationship between the deep Earth and the development of human civilisation. He visits an extraordinary crystal cave in Mexico, drops down a hole in the Iranian desert and crawls through seven-thousand-year-old tunnels in Israel. His exploration reveals that throughout history, our ancestors were strangely drawn to fault lines, areas which connect the surface with the deep interior of the planet. These fault lines gave access to important resources, but also brought with them great danger.
Episode 3: Wind
Professor Iain Stewart continues his epic exploration of how the planet has shaped human history. Iain sets sail on one of the fastest racing boats ever built to explore the story of our turbulent relationship with the wind. Travelling to iconic locations including the Sahara desert, the coast of West Africa and the South Pacific, Iain discovers how people have exploited the power of the wind for thousands of years. The wind is a force which at first sight appears chaotic. But the patterns that lie within the atmosphere have shaped the destiny of continents, and lie at the heart of some of the greatest turning points in human history.
Episode 4: Fire
Professor Iain Stewart continues his epic exploration of how the planet has shaped human history. Iain explores man's relationship with fire. He begins by embarking on an extraordinary encounter with this terrifying force of nature - a walk right through the heart of a raging fire. Fire has long been our main source of energy and Iain shows how this meant that the planet played a crucial role in Britain's industrial revolution, whilst holding China's development back. Along the way he dives in a mysterious lake in Oregon, climbs a glacier of salt, crawls through an extraordinary cave in Iran and takes a therapeutic bath in crude oil.
Episode 5: Human Planet
Series in which Professor Iain Stewart looks at how four geological forces have shaped human history. He explores the most recently established force, humans. It's easy to think of the human impact on the planet as a negative one, but as Iain discovers, this isn't always the case. It is clear that humans have unprecedented control over many of the planet's geological cycles; the question is, how will the human race use this power?
故事比较简单但确实是古代民间故事的味儿，画面则是杂糅了多种传统艺术，脸谱、剪纸、传统玩具、年画、寺庙绘画的元素均有引用，因此影片的民族特色非常鲜明，这也是本片盛赞的一点。联系诞生年代即可知影片中诸多赤裸裸的讽刺源自哪个时代——那个时代的创作者是不可能回避这个主题的。比《大闹天宫》《哪吒闹海》弱，因为不管是主题还是画面表现都差了一截。
11.3 呜呜呜，袁公就这么被抓走了！！！为什么天书奇谈没有续集！！！曾经中国的文化工作者真的在很勇敢的嘲讽权贵，那样的岁月再也没有了。
2021.11.6大银幕4K修复版，包场。狐狸母女进宫后看睡着，上个世纪左翼电影把清白的良心还给了底层，一百年不到，国产影视剧又把心机和穷人、天真和富人进行了链接，穷人也许更容易败坏，但一定是富人先堕落的，
啥也别说了，这才代表了中国动画片的巅峰，看看这故事，看看这人物设定，无一不是经典，完全超过同一阶段迪士尼的动画片。可惜啊，如今这样的作品再也不会产生了。
2021年去大银幕重温了，看到了成人世界的无奈和压抑。动画果然是成人浇自己胸中块垒之作啊。美术和音乐绝赞。
21年新修复版本画面磨皮过于“干净”，失去了应有的纹理层次感，可惜。
终于理解为什么小时候看会害怕了，因为没看懂。这片也确实不是拍给小孩子看的，普罗米修斯的隐喻和失去的几十年，可以想象那时的人们怀着何等的创作激情。它是幸运的，中国动画曾拥有如此出色的创意和技术，还有肉眼可见的灵魂。它又是不幸的，在结构性的无奈和产业化的困惑面前，注定昙花一现。
《天书奇谭》：一部让我从小到大都很喜爱的国产动画电影佳作。谢谢你给我这个动画迷留下奇妙美好的回忆。—— 2015.05.01：这部经典，不仅可以吸引小朋友们，还能留住大朋友。邻居几个大人看到我和小朋友们在我家门口观看《天书奇谭》，也过来“凑热闹”，和我们一起观影，好些情节把大家逗乐到不行！—— 2021.11.05：时隔多年后，带上小外甥，在影院大银幕重温4K修复纪念版《天书奇谭》。电影的画面真是有够高清，甚至连绘画的纸纹都清晰可见；色彩的饱和度也挺高，增添了画面的韵味与美感；还注意到混录的声效有方位的变化……看得我都期待未来也能够在大银幕重温4K修复版《大闹天宫》《哪吒闹海》。& 正片后的纪录片 → 钱运达：艺术如果没有创新，就没有生命力。
补评，在我记忆里是上美，甚至是国产动画片最后的经典之作，之后没有了！别提那些狗尾续貂的作品！剧情上，我是哭着离开剧场的（小时候），成年人了，看此片还有其他的深度，就不谈了。
既然说“天道无私，传于后世”，为何只有亲手培养的接班人可以学，野路子的狐妖不可学？只许袁工监守自盗外传天书，狐妖同样偷书却落得个天诛地灭？故事主线是蛋生和三只狐妖不断地斗法，从小寺庙、县衙门，一路斗到皇宫之上，争的无非是个正统继承权，最后还不是蛋生凭自己力量获胜，反而再次由袁工出手扶持一派消灭一派。何来无私之说？
故事编排和美术设计都是一流，集隐喻反讽传统技艺于一体的优秀之作，结尾铿锵有力掷地有声，实乃国漫不可多得之经典。
TV：童年超级喜欢的动画之一，还买过书来看呢！
剧本很扎实，有悬疑人设的障眼法，也有故事细节的闪光点。
虽然是口号式的闪回，但是看的时候就一直一直哭……就是又很离谱，又很好看……
从美学到表达都属于特定时期、特定班底的特殊产物，对于如今所谓的国产动画，其实没太大启示性。
三个狐狸精的升迁之路几乎就在影射或者揭露这个世界的本质，蠢贪坏几乎是天然孪生三兄弟，在闹剧背后却是正派人的污名与贬斥，「蛋生」本质上只是一个清道夫，或者一个会法术的「看到皇帝新装的小孩」。
还是以前的经典，现在的国产动画片不是幼稚就是说教味太浓
这部动画耽搁了多年,去年还是今年终于完成.作为当年中国传统动画的水平和一个对于我们的童年有意义的片子而给予四星.
关于努力成为所谓精英还是开心活在当下的哲学思考
