| Walt Disney's Legacy Collection / True Life Adventures Vol 2 : 4 of 5 | |

 Watching the second volume of this series really made me stop and think about how enjoyable these films are! There's just something peaceful about relaxing with a cup of coffee and learning about nature, as well as experiencing the nostalgia of these movies. This set includes some firsts for the True Life Adventures series - Seal Island was the first short to bear the True Life Adventures name, and The Living Desert was the first feature-length True LIfe Adventure movie. Seal Island definitely lacks a little polish that would come later, but the baby seals are so cute. However, watching the adult seals' bloody battle is definitely kind of stomach-turning! The Living Desert is amazing for its close-up insect photography (the photographer even had to invent a film camera that could be focused on such small objects in motion!), mainly the incredible tarantula/wasp fight to the death, which is fascinating and chilling at the same time. The Vanishing Prairie has lots of great prairie dog characterization and action, too. The bonus disc is filled with three other nature shorts, more of Roy Disney at Animal Kingdom, and another great new documentary with photographer interviews, plus interesting conversations with Roy, providing fun anecdotes about the making of these films. I'm really looking forward to enjoying the next volumes of this series!
