Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

A Film infobox needs to be added to this article, or the current one needs to be updated. For formatting information see the style guidelines

[edit] The Film

A copy of the famous film can be found on google video here. Don't know if it's worth linking on the main page, or if there are any legal issues attached - I'll let someone else work it out. - 82.19.15.73 13:20, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Now available on DVD

It is now available on DVD in Disney's 4 volume True-Life Adventures releases according to Amazon. I believe it is on Volume 1.Antmusic 00:35, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A couple of questions

These might seem like stupid questions, but firstly were the lemmings actually killed by this, and if so how did Disney get away with it? And secondly, why did they do it anyway? --Aceizace 00:16, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

The Snopes.com article in the External Links section lists a number of sources. Perhaps the answer is there. My assumption is that the myth already existed before the film. Presumably the filmmakers tried to film lemming suicide but failed for obvious reasons. So they cheated. That's just a guess though. Cop 633 21:30, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

This may be another dumb question, but lets try it: Assuming the entire film was done in Albera Canada as claimed (Alberta has no ocean or outlet to the sea - remember) then please explain where the sequences for the walrus, polar bears, ermines, jaegers, musk-ox, ring seal, caribou, and Beluga whales come from. Agreed that Lemmings aren't native to Alberta - neither are many of these.

I like facts and am not willing to trade one urban legend for another.

I haven't seen the film but what you say makes complete sense. Presumably it's only the lemming sequence that was filmed in Alberta. I'll try rewording it without adding anything that I don't know.Cop 633 21:16, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

I just watched the google video clip, it looks to me like it was just clever camera work, i dont think the drop was particularly high and the lemmings were still swimming in the water. Not too sure what happened to them afterwards though. That cant be put in the article, but it might help clear things up for you. 138.217.179.154 13:17, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
