Bigle and produced by Marc Barraud from the original French language edition "Walt Disney's Lions d'Afrique."<br /> <br /> An account which is not only a biography of the King of Beasts but of all unique wildlife inhabiting his domain. The story first appeared as a True-Life Adventure film and is now presented here in book form. The color photographs were taken by famed Ketchikan wildlife cinematographers and wildlife photographers Alfred and Elma Milotte who spent three years following lions in Africa. The Milottes were first hired by Disney to film the Alaska wilderness. Alfred and Elma created the True-LIfe Adventure series for Walt Disney and won six Academy Awards while working for Disney. The couple married for fifty-five years traveled the world for four decades. They strangely died within a week of each other in 1989.<br /> <br /> Walt Disney produced thirteen True-Life Adventure series films in the 1950s. The films were shown in public schools for decades and it is thought that some students were even influenced to go into environmental careers as a result of seeing these films.<br /> <br /> "If there is a note of grimness here it stems from reality of life; if there is a touch of humor it comes from the genuineness of rich materials for Nature can be both cruel and kind. both macabre and beguiling. and infinitely eternally strange." - Walt Disney.
