Is the blond guy at the far right Dan Smith?

We also see a lot of the photos from 1978 when Disney execs previewed EPCOT for him in Florida, so it was fitting that he came back to see it for himself in 1983.

A newspaper interview with Mary Costa nearly 30 years ago led to a lifetime of meaningful friendship. So thankful for a holiday visit that found this Disney Legend as lovely and gracious as ever. She enjoyed reminiscing about CBS Christmas promo photos from 1956! #sleepingbeauty #disneylegend

Thanks, Tom. Hope we can figure it out ahead of projects in the works for the 75th anniversary!

Your knowledge in this area is top notch! I still remember the training videos you shared.

Great sleuthing - a very good possibility!

Proud to have co-edited this one!

Does anyone know the artist for this original painting used for Disneyland’s 1979 Very Merry Christmas Parade? It’s been rescued but there’s no artist credited. @jason.parkendium.com @tomkmorris.bsky.social

Good luck - you can do it!

That’s amazing, though! I know someone interested so I’ll pass on your experience. Great job and well done!

Congratulations! I was just talking about this program today with the Library Director at the college where I work. How long did it take and would you recommend it to others?

Good Orange Bird photo op during Destination D a few years back.

“Full name! Speak up!” So many VHS plays back in the day!

I have Fulton Burley’s script and some related documents from this one.

If I remember correctly, Floyd Norman worked on that one but he may have been assisting someone at the time - Milt Kahl, perhaps?

A favorite animation cel from Disney’s “The Sword in the Stone.” #disney

Walt Disney’s advice to Donald Duck still holds true: “Be yourself.” #disney

The positive vibes found on this site are refreshing and encouraging. I’m looking forward to sharing and interacting more here.

I was hoping to learn the reasons behind his departure if they related to the film but it seems more likely that it was connected to Disneyland.

There’s correspondence with people back in Atlanta where he tells them that the film was on hold in lieu of “20,000 Leagues.” When they started back up in the summer of 1955, he appeared to be working full time on Disneyland.

It’s the one-year anniversary of snapping this multiplane photo during a visit to the Walt Disney Archives for research as “Robin Hood” celebrated its 50th anniversary. #disney

No, this was Harper taking the first draft of the screenplay and figuring out the technical details of how to film a train chase and not lose the audience in the process. Most of his recommendations carried through three years later.

That’s the sale where I picked up his stash from “The Great Locomotive Chase”!
