Relying on recently discovered correspondence and diaries, filled with unpublished photos and storyboard art, this full colour 166-page, hardcover monograph details the genesis of Walt Disney's acclaimed and award-winning True-Life Adventures film series.
From the now infamous research trip to Maine in 1938 for the making of Bambi, to the release of Seal Island in 1948, the debut of True-Life Adventures, Disney historian Didier Ghez tells the real story behind Disney's educational shorts during WWII, chronicles the drama of cinematographers Al and Elma Milotte's groundbreaking trip to Alaska in 1946 and uncovers the True-Life Adventures that could have been.
The Origins of Walt Disney's True-Life Adventures is the second volume in the Hyperion Historical Alliance Monograph series, following The Making of Walt Disney's Fun and Fancy Free, published in 2019.
