Chapter: Comic
Lemmings do not commit “mass suicide” when they migrate. The misconception stems from lemmings swimming across a body of water together in search of new habitat. In such cases, many may drown if the body of water is too wide.
Disney also made the stereotype of cliff jumping lemmings more popular. The 1958 Disney film White Wilderness, which won an Academy Award for Documentary Feature, included staged footage showing lemmings jumping into certain death after faked scenes of mass migration. The lemmings used for White Wilderness did not jump off the cliff, but were in fact launched off the cliff.

Lemming avalanche!!! What a way to die (again(again(again(again(etc.)))))
Actually, Disney’s camera crew CHASED the lemmings off the cliff…
Need. Search. Function.
The game was awesome though.
Don’t agitate them…. Ye’ don’t want an army of Al QaidLemmings.
Buried under lemmings.
am i the only one that got mad when they said that the lemmings were thrown off a cliff by disney people?
ol’ walt…so hateful lol
It’s true, lemmings don’t actually do this. Disney had some people doing a documentary on them and they chased them off the cliff.
I thought they were hedgehogs.
Yeah what they did in the movie was messed up
I never knew lemmings were a real thing until I read this comment. I thought it was just a name for stupid people.
