Trivia: This picture was filmed in Alberta, Canada, which is not a native habitat for lemmings. They were imported from Manitoba for use in the film, and were purchased from Inuit children by the filmmakers. The Arctic rodents were placed on a snow-covered turntable and filmed from various angles to produce a "migration" sequence; afterwards, the helpless creatures were transported to a cliff overlooking a river and herded into the water. The entire sequence was faked using a handful of lemmings deceptively photographed to create the illusion of a large herd of migrating creatures. This has become the basis of a widespread belief that lemmings commit suicide en masse when their numbers grow too large, which is not the case. (more)

Beautifully shot, watch this for the visually glorious surroundings and try to ignore the occasionally silly narraion, 3 May 2001
9/10
Author: Robert Reynolds (llltdesq@webtv.net) from Tucson AZ

This documentary is one of the best ever produced by Disney and has both the strengths and weaknesses of most Disney documentaries-excellent visually and technically but with narration that is all too frequently vapid, silly and boring, with the added difficulty that the narrator's droning monotone almost puts me to sleep. The visuals more than make up for any shortcomings. Recommended.
