Stacia Martin believes these things are destined to find their way to the right people so there might be something to that!

I was fortunate enough to rescue most of this storage locker’s contents that belonged to a Disney Legend, including correspondence with Walt, original storyboards, photos, scripts, and film reels. It’s sad to see a life’s work end up this way, but I’m glad to preserve these treasures.

Head over to Stuart Ng Books in Torrance, CA until the end of March 2026 to save 20 percent on this recently published HHA Press hardcover edited by JB Kaufman and yours truly!

That structure was built on location up there next to that real lake. The Archives had the construction orders but the more interesting part pertained to the teardown. Because filming had wrapped, there was no catering so the work order stressed that the teardown crew had to bring their own lunches!

This March 1965 Herblock cartoon about police violence against civil rights activists has added relevance today.

It was there for sure in 2013; Stacia Martin and some of us went to look at it when she was preparing for a presentation on the film’s 50th anniversary.

Make sure Stacia Martin see this - she has used the other one in presentations since it shows the inner record sleeve being printed.

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!

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

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?

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?

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

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”!
