Transcript:
Lemming 1: I'm tired of all us lemmings dying meaningless deaths. I want to die a hero. I just won the super boooooowwlll.
Lemming 2: He's probably not going to disney world.
Is the Disney World line a reference to the inaccuracies in ‘White Wilderness’ that perpetuated all that nonsense about suicidal lemmings?See this for a good breakdown:http://www.snopes.com/disney/films/lemmings.asp
For us in the west, we get the “I’m going to Disneyland!” version. They film both responses at the same time. Not sure where the demarcation line is (for version seen).

It’s funny that Disney is the one who invented the myth that lemmings jump to their deaths…
