Did you know the 1958 Disney movie “White Wilderness” is rather infamous for the misinformation it presented about lemming migration, establishing the myth that said creatures would off themselves en masse for no real good reason other than we have to assume the film makers thinking it would be entertaining? But Disney has never explained what made them come to that conclusion because surely if you have the need to fake drama in your documentary for the sake of entertainment then surely there are things to try before you back a literal truckload of animals off a cliff. Anyway. something to think on while reading a strip where a Disney cartoonist spent a week having weird stuff happening for no good reason other than seemingly seeing how people would react to it.
