True-Life Fantasy
| A new series of True-Life Fantasy features were planned. However, Perri (1957) was the only one they made. |
| It was scheduled to be released on laserdisc twice, first as a CAV DiscoVision laserdisc (catalog # D18-505), |
| then again as a CLV disc in December 1997 (catalog # 12487AS). Both were cancelled and never released. |
| It has only been released to VHS in England. |
People and Places
After the success of the True-Life Adventures, Disney developed a spin-off series of theatrical documentaries called People and Places. There are 18 shorts, created by the same people who did the True-Life Adventures (Ben Sharpsteen, Winston Hibler, etc.). They are largely forgotten today and have never been released to video, but several have won Academy Awards. They are occasionally shown on The Disney Channel.
