Nature's Half Acre
US (1951): Short
Nature's Half Acre could be anywhere - a backyard, a corner of an abandoned orchard, or a patch of wildflowers. Wherever, it teams with a myriad of life. Focusing on the domestic lives of birds and honeybees (plus looks at spiders, mud dauber wasps and chameleons), this superior and compelling little documentary climaxes with superb time-lapse photography of blossoming flowers. This is one of a series of "True-Life Adventures" presenting strange facts about the world we live in. Directed by James Algar. (Ron Oliver, IMDb)
