The desert isn't necessarily a desolate place, and this film makes it come alive. [15 May 1987, p.65C]

Los Angeles TimesLynne Heffley
Disney's evergreen, Oscar-winning documentary from 1953, is crawling with the scaly, feathery and furry critters who call the desert home. [12 Aug 1994, p.F27]

Chicago ReaderJonathan Rosenbaum
One of the earliest of the Disney true-life adventures (1953), this won an Academy Award for best documentary, in spite (or because) of its celebrated use of square-dance music with footage of scorpions.
