An Anniversary & A Seachange...


Today the Sesame Workshop starts the 40th season of "Sesame Street" on PBS...

The Animation Magazine has an interesting article about how one of the projects that will celebrate it is a new segment on the show entitled "Abby's Flying Fairy School," and that is a bit of a departure for the show. The Muppets on this show are CG.

The times they are a changing...

Forty Years Of Fear For Foolish Mortals...

Foolish Mortals...



Forty years ago today Walt Disney's last remaining creation opened up...

The Haunted Mansion opened in 1969 almost six after it was announce, but it's popularity today is still a testament to Disney and his vision. When you think of a Disney park, it's almost incomprehensible to think of one without Pirates or the Haunted Mansion. These two last creations show you the power of a well crafted story/attraction and how it can be a permanent, iconic testament to quality. Something the Disney name is known for world wide (Too bad Eisner forgot this and Pressler never learned it).

Happy birthday HM, from all us foolish mortals...

Anything Is Possible If You Simply Believe...


Walt Disney always believed in doing the impossible...

He believed that dreams can come true. The undying American spirit was in every fiber of his body and action as the living embodiment of what it is to be an American.

Forty years ago today, a dream that was thought impossible for millenniums became a reality for us, and all mankind. It alone proves that anything can be done if you have the willpower and hard work together to make it happen.

All you have to do is start with a dream...
