Rating: - Disney does National Geographic.
As a youth, I remember watching "The Wonderful World of Disney" (which, if I'm not mistaken, was later renamed "The Wonderful World of Color"). It was on every Sunday night and would feature cartoons, a serial program like "Davie Crocket: King of the Wild Frontier", or any variety of other Disney-worthy productions including a number of nature programs. I believe it was on that TV show that I first saw "The Living Desert". It won an Academy Award for Best Feature-Length Documentary in 1953. ... Read More
Rating: - A Wonder not on DVD
Sometimes I love Disney, sometimes I wonder if they sit on their brains. This is one of the finest movie documentaries they ever produced and yet here it is 2006 well beyond when they started making DVDs and it is not on DVD. Do you see something wrong with that picture as I do? I saw this as a kid on the Wonderful World of Disney and I loved it. I was entertained and educated at the same time. The best way for kids to learn. Unfortunately I have not seen it since. I imagine some of those that have ... Read More
Rating: - Living Desert Review by James Marchese
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.

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 ... Read More
Rating: - Every library needs Living Desert
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 ... Read More
Rating: - one of DISNEYS best
i first saw this when it came out, & thought it brilliant that is why i have bought it.of all disneys works next to this is Snow White, again i saw this when it first came out,& it is a pity they have not come(to me anyway) anywhere near making anything as good. the Living Desert I would say to anyone if u have not seen it, then you are missing a lot,not only for the music, but the antics as well.
