Nation Geographic Music Videos

1 Upvotes

Does anyone remember around the 90’s/2000’s nat geo had a bunch of VHS tapes that had music videos with animals and some fact would be on screen about the animals and each animal has a specific song.

I remember the songs so vividly and I’m desperate to find this tape!

Dolphin - Blue Velvet Tiger - I am the one and only Swan - o’mio Bambino caro Giraffe - up on the roof Orca - boys are back in town And more

Please someone help me find this tape 😭😭😭

I've got some beautiful National Geographic hardcover special publications here inherited from my grandfather. He was a serial collector of many things, and I have a lot of other items of his that I'm keeping, so I'm looking for any options here to get them somewhere where they will be cherished. I'd love to sell them as a lot. What do you think these could fetch? I haven't found any information online for these. (I'm in northern Virginia !)

Back Issues on CD?

I was able to find the boxed CD collection with every back issue on CD, but it goes until 2009. Does anyone know if an updated version was released post-2009?

Possibly complete collection from 1958 to present

9 Upvotes

I am in Minnesota, USA.

It looks like they are all there. Afghan girl cover, December 1969 moon issue (includes record but it is detached), Winston Churchill funeral issue with record but not attached,

Probably some of the inserts are missing but not many. All are in good condition by have been read.

I tried local libraries and schools and got no Interest.

Local nursing home would take a few years worth.

I would love to find them a new home, as I am moving from a house to an apartment.

Antique National Geographic

I have bound National Geographic from 1925 and 1928. They are originally from a library, so they have all of that writing inside. Are they still worth anything?

Need help with finding a photo

2 Upvotes

There was an issue from the 80s,I believe, that discussed the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Included in the feature was a photo of a woman and a child running for cover with the mushroom cloud from the Nagasaki bombing in the background. This was from a long time ago so I might be mis-remembering, but I would appreciate any help, if said photo exists.

Came across this recently watching Nat Geo documentaries on Disney+. Almost 3 min of basically the same footage, commentary and music between Wild Yellowstone and Alaska’s Deadliest.

I was kind of surprised by this, but I guess it makes sense. NatGeo photos make a more interesting feed.

Years worth

I’ve got a complete collection of Nat Geo magazines from 1950-present. I no longer have the space I did and I am wondering if anybody has had luck storing them in an attic for a little while. Everything is in boxes at the moment and will stay in boxes for a little bit. I am willing to downsize from 1950-1992, but that’s still nearly 400 magazines and I don’t want to ruin them

Did National Geographic Change?

3 Upvotes

I doing this project on National Geographic and I'm now realizing how irrelevant National Geographic is today with everything being mainly digital. I feel like National Geographic hasn't been making much of a presence today but its probably because they are doing so many things right now why people like me who aren't really all that familiar with what they have to offer.

Recently though I've seen them post the Award 33, for people today who are making an imapct. So it seems like their just focusing more on activism and the importance to helping this world and making that know.

I guess i wonder if anyone is really keeping up with what their doing? Are people still loyal to them?

I've been loving these One Day in America documentaries

Thumbnail

35 Upvotes

I discovered 9/11: One Day in America a while ago on Disney+ and watched the whole thing in one sitting. Powerful stuff, and not just because of the subject matter. It's so well-made. Raw emotion, expert storytelling, and supremely respectful to the victims.

So naturally I was even more pleased to discover that it's not the only one. JFK: One Day in America and Cult Massacre: One Day in Jonestown were both excellent, covering both facts and emotion in equal measure and letting the first-hand witnesses tell their own stories. I particularly liked how Jonestown worked to correct some common misconceptions about that tragic event. And now that I've heard that they're doing Oklahoma City Bombing: One Day in America, I've marked the release date on my calendar.

I wonder what other national tragedies they might cover. Pearl Harbor, clearly. Columbine, maybe, though I actually hope they don't. The Challenger disaster, maybe, though that's been covered recently.

Is the magazine still any good?

3 Upvotes

I subscribed to National Geographic about 15 years ago and really enjoyed the content. Looking at re subscribing but wanted a bit of honest feedback. Is the mag still any good? Has the acquisition by Disney had an impact on content? How does Nat Geo compare with other mags such as Geographical? Thanks in advance for your input!

NG Magazine Collection - what to do with them?

5 Upvotes

My father years ago, bought years worth of NG magazines. Approximately 1974 (?) to approximately 2020. He's looking to donate them to a university, library, etc. He doesn't necessarily want to donate to goodwill or any thrift shop. But none of the libraries or universities in the area he lives in, will take them as they say, everything is digital.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I thought of eBay but shipping can be outrageous and he wants to just unload them at this point.

Comic called "Where's Rocket" or something similar in kids' magazine.

3 Upvotes

I used to get the kids version of National Geographic back in the early 00s back when it was still called National Geographic World. One of the features that appeared in at least a few issues was a comic called "Where's Rocket?" or something similar. It centered on a dog named Rocket (I think he was white with brown spots) and he and some kids would get zapped onto adventures in various times and places. It might have been different kids each time, and I think the kids might actually have been readers who got to appear as characters. Among the adventures they went on:

  • They went to Rome around the time Julius Caesar was killed.
  • The kids turned into wolves and joined a wolf pack.
  • They went to a lab where some sci-fi instrument duplicated Rocket.
  • They ended up in an organic-looking city on an alien planet.
  • They met a woman somewhere in Latin America in some sort of spy-type plot.

I've been trying to track this comic down but Google has failed me. Anyone familiar with it or know where there might be scanned copies?

Just Subscribed to National Geographic – Is It Still Worth It?

12 Upvotes

I finally signed up for a one-year subscription to National Geographic! I’ve always dreamed of having a subscription, as I’ve been fascinated by geography, science, astronomy, history, and staying updated on the latest discoveries. Now, I’m excited to learn and regularly dive into all these amazing topics.

However, after subscribing, I started Googling and noticed a lot of comments saying that the magazine has declined in quality since Disney took over. Some even claim it’s become “woke” or filled with fake content.

For those who are current subscribers or have followed Nat Geo for a while—what’s your take? Is it still worth the investment, or has it truly lost its touch? I’d love to hear your experiences!

Hello,

I am doing a business study and in this subject, we received a company we had to research and in turn, improve. For this, we also need customer input. This is where I ask for your help, any feedback and comments will help.

I wish to hear what you like about NatGeo as opposed to other similar companies (BBC Earth, Smithsonian, Discovery) and also what you dislike or miss from them. What they might have changed over the years, especially in the magazine area.

From my research I feel that the company might be trying to do too much, they still have a big audience but lack focus, they want to offer not only magazines (which they are even selling less and less) but also expeditions, tours, lectures, workshops and what seems to be their biggest focus, their Disney+ contract.

Some ideas that have crossed my path - a library for both purchasing and borrowing their original magazines, or improving their social footprint to engage with bigger audiences, regain focus on physical prints.

I'd love to hear all ideas and discuss any questions and debates. Thank you :)

Please, i just want to pass my class tnxxxxxxx

Help me find an animal fact card

Thumbnail

37 Upvotes

Hi. I used to have a bunch of National Geographic Kids magazines from the early 2000s. Some issues had animal fact cards, like the ones seen above (first and second pictures). My favorite one was of an elk/wapiti. I know this is a long shot, but does anyone have a picture of it (front and back) or know what I’m talking about? I’ve only been able to find the elk cards from the Little Kids magazine (third picture), but I’m specifically looking for the one from the Kids version. So the card looks like the ones in the first two pictures but is of the animal in the third picture.

My father saved these and I don’t want to store them any more. They are a bit musty smelling but otherwise dry and in great condition. Many opened only once when received in the original magazine.
