Grand Canyon
US (1958): Documentary
Disney deservedly won an Oscar®: for this mostly well-executed documentary. Visually breathtaking, the narration has a kind of monotone, almost flat-lined quality that would practicaly served as a cure for insomnia in most instances. This is an Achilles heel for a great number of Disney documentaries -- narration. All too often, it either drones or is too cute by at least half. Still quite good here for the visuals. Directed by James Algar. (Robert Reynolds, IMDb)
Included on the DVD special edition of Sleeping Beauty (1959).
