It sometimes feels like being in the middle of a horde of suicidal lemmings

Remember that the lemmings were pushed by the filmmaker. If you want to get out you have to stop the filmmaker, not the other lemmings.

Another fine "educational" Disney film for kids from the 1960s if I'm remembering correctly. It's incredible how some guy just up and decided to send a horde of animals to a brutal death for entertainment value was par for course.

Anyways, Disney can go fuck itself...
