On a tangential note: I've long heard that for one of Disney's nature docs
during the 50s they were having trouble filming lemmings flinging
themselves over a cliff (which they don't do too often or quite en masse,
otherwise there'd be no more lemmings). As a result, the filmmakers
supposedly threw some off the cliff themselves to film. Does anybody know
a source for this info or is it an anti-Disney urban legend?
