The Living Desert was the very first feature-length film in Disney's True-Life Adventures collection of docudramas concentrating on zoological studies; the previous films in the collection, including the Academy Award-winning Seal Island, were short topics. The docudrama was recorded at the Westward Look Wyndham Grand Resort and also Health Facility in Tucson, Arizona. Most of the wild animals received the film was given away to what would quickly end up being the Arizona-Sonora Desert Gallery. The movie was influenced by 10 mins of video footage shot by N. Paul Kenworthy Jr., a doctoral trainee at the University of The Golden State at Los Angeles. Kenworthy's footage of a battle between an arachnid as well as a wasp interested Disney, that moneyed a feature-length production adhering to the lives of diverse desert species. Disney was highly encouraging of Kenworthy's work and its effect on nonfiction filmmaking, mentioning, "This is where we can tell a genuine, continual tale for the first time in these nature photos."
