In keeping with our "Gardens of Wonderland" event this weekend, we asked Volunteer Coordinator (and avid hiker) Reed Milnes to write about the natural wonderland that surrounds The Walt Disney Family Museum in The Presidio of San Francisco.
From Walt Disney Family Foundation Films, "Walt & El Grupo" is a documentary chronicling a 1941 South American expedition, led by Walt Disney and a team of animators, affectionately dubbed "El Grupo."
Featuring rare candid accounts from the studio’s head and his artists, the documentary illustrates the impact the trip had on American and global culture, and brings new perspective to the Disney heritage that continues to inspire the world...
Disney historian, Jeff Kurtti, takes time to reflect on the passing of Leslie Neilsen and reminds us that in the beginning of his career, Nielsen had been part of the Walt Disney family of television stars.
To anyone who has read a Walt Disney biography, you know the story of Walt Disney's 1926 Moon roadster. Walt was quite proud of that car, and it was the very automobile he used to court Lilly.
However, after losing Oswald, Walt and Roy fell on hard financial times. Of course, that didn't seem to disturb the ever-optimistic Walt Disney. Instead, he came up with a new character, Mortimer Mouse (aka Mickey)...
Continuing our celebration of Walt Disney's birthday, we asked guest blogger, Jonas Rivera--an Academy Award-winning producer at PIXAR--to share his thoughts on what Walt meant to him and how Walt's legacy influenced him for the future.
It's hard to imagine that there's anything to say that hasn't already been said about Walt Disney. I've spent a good hunk of my life trying to learn about him, his work and his influence. It's impossible really, to summarize how much he means to the world. So...
Christmas with Walt Disney screens daily at 1pm & 4pm. (except Tuesdays and December 5, 11, and 25 ).
Since its founding on St. Cecilia’s Day 2004, Artists’ Vocal Ensemble (AVE) has been engaging audiences with thoughtful programming and consistently exceptional choral singing that has set it apart from other ensembles in the Bay Area. Composed of mixed voices (male and female) that are especially suited to Renaissance and contemporary repertoire, their reputation has spread rapidly as a leader in sacred choral music.
In the 1940s, Walt Disney once referred to Donald Duck as the Clark Gable of his stable, meaning that the irascible duck was as important a talent to the Walt Disney Studios as Clark Gable was to MGM Studios. Donald’s importance to the Disney “stable” is evidenced by his starring role in more cartoon shorts (128) than any other Disney character, including Mickey Mouse.
In light of the Donald Duck Contest we held last month, Disney Historian Paul Anderson has uncovered new information about our favorite duck's middle name that will have you quacking "Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!"
May I be the first to congratulate all the Trivia Scholars that successfully answered the three Donald Duck questions. I think Donald’s middle name is one of the perennial Top Ten Disney trivia questions of all time, as it routinely shows up in contests (for many decades now). All I can...
恭禧發財! In celebration of the new year of the rabbit, we encourage our guests to stop by Gallery 2 to pay a visit to Oswald the Lucky Rabbit!
This is the second in a series titled "What Do YOU Do?" where we'll be asking a museum staff member to answer five questions about their position at The Walt Disney Family Museum, their fondest Disney memories, and other personal tidbits. This month, we highlight Pam Spedus!
