 Lemmings   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Disney's 'White Wilderness' was filmed in Alberta, Canada, which is not even a native habitat for lemmings and which also has no outlet to the sea.
This didn't deter Disney however, who for some reason got it into his head that, by gum, we were going to show a lemming migration in an area where lemmings didn't live and also show them hell bent on drowning themselves in the sea, which they didn't ever do, where there was no sea.
So, in short, "White Wilderness" is the basis, root and sole reason for the widespread belief that lemmings do in fact commit suicide en masse when their numbers grow too large.
