Yes. This is the film of the butchered turtle. If I remember the story correctly, the director forced the actors to butcher the turtle, after the deed was done the actor decked the director in the face.

It's kind of funny that this film was criticized for blood and gore and animal cruelty so they banned the film. (I think there was a term for banned gory films, "Nasty Something" idk) But they have not criticized Disney nature films for brutalizing animals. I think the ban was to cover of what the story actually is about and not just a gore fest. I don't think the majority of the people knew the film exist up until the some time in the early 2000.
