Rendering of Gallery 8

Walt-who had a love of nature since his youth in Marceline-also ventured into live-action documentaries during the ’40s and early ’50s. The first of these was a nature documentary, Seal Island, a 27-minute account of the seasonal habits of seals that won the 1949 Academy Awardâ„¢ for best two-reel documentary. Later documentaries in the series, “TrueLife Adventures” continued to focus on nature, while “People and Places” highlighted peoples and destinations around the world.
