This film was nominated for an Academy Award for the year of its release. This 28-minute film discusses and photographs the wildlife on the islands of Galapagos, Guadelupe, the Falklands, and Midway. Of course, they show the turtles of the Galapagos, and also the penguins of the Falklands. Although overall the film focuses more on birds, there is also quite a bit on the reptile inhabitants of these islands. One of the funniest segments include a penguin attempting to "sing" and an albatross attempting a clumsy landing in what had to be one of its less graceful moments.Disney was for sure ahead of its time by decades in filming nature.
