Movies filmed at San Diego Zoo

Filmed here, per Wikipedia

Productions whose English Wikipedia article names San Diego Zoo as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than the statements above, so it gets its own list, each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.

  • Citizen Kane 1941
    “The shots of the private zoo at Xanadu in Orson Welles' 1941 film Citizen Kane were filmed at the San Diego Zoo.” Wikipedia
  • Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic 2008
    “Additional sequences were shot at Universal Studios Hollywood and the San Diego Zoo, with some indoor scenes filmed at Yash Raj Studios in Mumbai.” Wikipedia

Named here by San Diego Zoo’s own Wikipedia article

Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at San Diego Zoo, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.
