5.0 out of 5 stars Living Desert Review by James Marchese, June 14, 2003

By 

James Marchese (Mesa, Arizona United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Walt Disney's True Life Adventures - The Living Desert [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Walt Disney's Living Desert is the finest desert nature footage ever produced--the standard. Released in 1953 in full color it took 3 years to make. It has many fine points including a 2:25 breathtaking sequence in which a large female wasp subdues and paralyzes a tarantula with her stinger. Beautiful botanical time lapse photography is also featured. The Best Documentary Oscar was created for The Living Desert and it was the first recipient of the award. What more can I say---everyone young and old should have the opportunity to see this film.

5.0 out of 5 stars Every library needs Living Desert, November 24, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Walt Disney's True Life Adventures - The Living Desert [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Living Desert is the introduction to ecology that every child needs to see. It combines extraordinary footage with entertaining music and intelligent commentary, and probably was responsible for millions of Americans learning to look beyond the obvious barren view of our natural resources. So why isn't a copy of this tape in every public library branch in the country? Why not ask your local library if it wants a copy, and make a charitable (and tax-deductible) contribution to our national common body of knowledge? This is the grand-daddy of nature films.
