#122 THE BEST OF WALT DISNEY'S TRUE-LIFE ADVENTURES

An amazing thing has transpired in my efforts to view every feature-length, theatrically-released Disney film. One feature which I thought I may never see (because it was never released on DVD or even VHS) has been made available for online viewing through Amazon.com!



The Best Of Walt Disney's True-Life Adventures (released 8 Oct 1975) could be considered a live-action anthology feature and yes it is made up of clips from other films which are available on DVD, but this is the first time this material, as its own feature, has been so accessible to the public since it was released 35 years ago.

For those who may find parts of the True-Life series entertaining, but find them "boring" as a whole, I recommend this film. Like the title says, it's the best - the cream of the crop. It begins with a short montage discussing Walt Disney's appreciation for animals through the years and includes short excerpts from The Wonderful World Of Color, Fantasia, Dumbo and others. Then you see the attack of the prairie hawks, the bobcat who got chased up a cactus, the wasp who can barely escape a colony of ants and later kills off a tarantula much larger than itself.

It's only $1.99 for a 48-hour rental period. You can stream it online or download it to your computer and watch it as much as you want. There's also an option to download it first and then you have 30 days to start viewing before your 48-hour rental period starts. Rent it soon! This may be available for a short time and there's a good chance it may never be released on video!
