Of note is that Disney won an Academy Award for their 1958 nature “documentary” which included a scene about lemmings. This scene showed lemmings jumping off of a cliff into a river, while the narration said the lemmings were committing mass suicide.
The entire scene was staged. Lemmings do not exhibit the mass suicide behaviour Disney was “documenting.”

I work in doc filmmaking professionally and we sometimes site Lemmings when we question the moral accuracy of something we're working on aka "don't pull a Lemming". It's a famous example of what not to do for us.
Sidenote this game was huge in my childhood we used to play it on my dad's work computer haha.

I dread to think how many hours I lost to this game. PC was obviously the best experience back then because you absolutely need a mouse. Playing on a gameboy was not so good.
