The Disney 'true life adventure' _ Perri _ (1957) -- which Ezra Pound
praised as 'absolute genius' for the way it presents 'the values of
courage and tenderness ... in a way that everybody can understand'* --
has been released on DVD, in volume 4 of the Disney Legacy Collection.
The squirrels are alerted to the presence of the hungry marten by a
bluejay's warning calls; and the male squirrel attracts the marten to
himself and away from the nest of newborn squirrels, sacrificing his own
life for their survival.
