It never ages!

1953 Oscar winner for Best Documentary prompts the question, "Why don't they make documentaries like this anymore?"...yet, the advent of the success of 2005's "March of the Penguins" proves that perhaps they do. This classic live-action film from the Disney studios details the lives of the animals and insects that fill up America's Southwest desert region. Some of the footage is manipulated for a jokey effect, but why complain when it's such a beautifully assembled picture? Colorful and entertaining, it's the perfect primer for children. Disney continued in this True-Life vein with "The Vanishing Prairie" in 1954. Very lovely, with a terrific background score from Paul J. Smith and narration by Winston Hibler. BAFTA nominee for the Special Award. Winner at Cannes for the International Prize and for Special Mention to the camera crew; also a nominee for the Grand Prize. Golden Globe winner of the Special Award for artistic merit. *** from ****
