SEAL ISLAND
(Walt Disney) \ ALT DISNEY won an Academy Award in 1948 for this short colour documentary about the courtship and mating of seals on one of the Probilof Islands in the Bering Sea,. between Alaska and Russia. The cameraman was John Grulotte, and the director James Algar. Before the seals arrive on their annual migration the carheras take time out to photograph the island’s flowers and coloured lichens, and there are some fine studies of puffins and cormorants nesting and in flight... After this prologue the film settles down to the main business of the seals and their domestic affairs, and it makes a remarkable study indeed. Seal Island was the first of a projected’ series of wild life films (Beaver Valley was the second), and I think that anyone who sees it will hope that there are many more to come.
