Interesting facts

  • Based on: Perri
  • Awards: 0 · Nominations: 1

Perri is a 1957 American adventure film from Walt Disney Productions, based on Felix Salten's 1938 novel Perri: The Youth of a Squirrel. It was the company's fifth feature entry in their True-Life Adventures series, and the only one to be labeled a True-Life Fantasy. In doing so, the Disney team combined the documentary aspects of earlier efforts with fictional scenarios and characters.

Production

Perri was shot over the course of three years. The footage used in the film was shot on 300,000 feet of 16mm film, which later edited down to 8,000 feet and converted to 35mm film. Parts of the film were shot in Salt Lake City and the Uinta National Forest in Utah. The film's score was written by Paul Smith, and the film was the first on-screen credit for Roy E. Disney, who worked as a photographer.
