The Living Desert
The Living Desert was the initial feature-length film in Disney's True-Life Adventures collection of documentaries focusing on zoological researches; the previous films in the series, consisting of the Academy Award-winning Seal Island, were short subjects. The docudrama was recorded at the Westward Look Wyndham Grand Resort and also Health Spa in Tucson, Arizona. The majority of the wildlife received the movie was given away to what would quickly come to be the Arizona-Sonora Desert Gallery. The film was influenced by 10 mins of video fired by N. Paul Kenworthy Jr., a doctoral trainee at the University of The Golden State at Los Angeles. Kenworthy's video of a battle between an arachnid as well as a wasp intrigued Disney, that moneyed a feature-length production following the lives of diverse desert species. Disney was very encouraging of Kenworthy's work and also its impact on nonfiction filmmaking, specifying, "This is where we can inform a real, sustained tale for the very first time in these nature photos."
