Mysteries of the Deep (1959) User Reviews

An Excellent Disney Nature Documentary

[Ron Oliver · 10/10 · 21 May 2000]

A Walt Disney TRUE-LIFE ADVENTURE.

The MYSTERIES OF THE DEEP are many and strange. This excellent little film, which focuses on a patch of coral reef, showcases some of the more peculiar habits of its denizens. The constant drive to eat or be eaten is played out by creatures beautiful & bizarre. Highlight: the thieving antics of the jawfish.

`This is one of a series of TRUE-LIFE ADVENTURES presenting strange facts about the world we live in. These films are photographed in their natural settings and are completely authentic, unstaged and unrehearsed.' Winston Hibler is the narrator.

Another remarkable production for Disney to be justifiably proud and that should be in print.

This is one of Disney's finest efforts. It shows just how incredibly diverse and compelling this planet we inhabit truly is and the camera work is atounding! Of course, as is the Mouse's nature, it is not in print. The best one can manage is that it runs from time to time on the Disney Channel during "Vault Disney" in the wee hours. It is most decidedly worth seeing. There are more things in heaven and on Earth than are dreamt of in our philosophy. How true! Recommended!
