OLYMPIC GAME FARM
Go there and contact
In 1942, Lloyd Beebe, passionate about the nature of the Northwest, bought this site. Farmer of his state, he benefits from his hours lost to observe wild animals. To share his discoveries, he bought a camera and started filming the animals. At the same time, a Walt Disney launched the production of several movies with wild animals. From 1947, the Beebe family also collected wild animals injured on their farms. After a few documentary tests, Beebe began his partnership with Disney Studios in the 1950 s. Beebe draws animals and teaches them to "play comedy." In 1962 Disney teams filmed even on the farm. On the death of Walt Disney in 1965, animal documentaries were gradually abandoned by studios, and 1972 marked the end of collaboration. More than 300 films and commercials have been shot with the help of Beebe. Olympic Game Farm is open to the public and then picked up by the descendants of Lloyd and Catherine Beebe. Today, their grandson continues to collect wild animals, whether native or not, on this farm and maintain a very close relationship with them. Among the 300 animals, one will cross, among others, rabbits, bison, llamas, tigers, lions, black bears, wolves, cougars, and some are still film stars (time).
