Walt Disney’s Worlds of Nature

New Time:  2:00pm | Theater

“Nature writes the screenplays,” Walt Disney said of the pioneering documentary series, True-Life Adventures. Produced between 1948 and 1960, these shorts and features won a cumulative 16 Academy Awards and have inspired naturalist filmmakers and conservationists for decades. Academy Award-nominated producer Don Hahn (Beauty and the Beast,The Lion King) hosts a presentation about Walt’s pioneering and frequently emulated True-Life Adventures films, and shows the relationship between that series and the acclaimed Disney nature documentaries (Earth, Oceans, African Cats, and the upcomingChimpanzees) for which Hahn serves as executive producer.
