Creating the Magic: The Story of Walt Disney Walt Disney once stated, “All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them,” and pursue them he did! Born in Chicago, Illinois on December 5, 1901, Walter Elias Disney became the master of cartoon animation, receiving his first Academy Award in 1932 by creating a mouse named, “Mickey.” Not long after creating Mickey, Disney also created Minnie Mouse, Mickey’s girlfriend, and later, Pluto, Goofy, and Donald Duck-- who would become Disney’s second most popular cartoon character of all time! Disney then took a major gamble. He decided to produce the first animated feature-length film which his critics felt would destroy Disney Studios. They called it, “Disney’s Folly.” Proving his critics wrong, Disney forged ahead with the production of “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.” The film would become the flagship of what would be known as “The Golden Age of Animation” for Disney Studios with Disney winning one full-size and seven miniature Oscars. Historian, Jim Gibbons, will present information on the life of Walt Disney--the winner of seven Emmy Awards; twenty-two Academy Awards; a Cecil B. DeMille Award; and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Gibbons will show you the genius behind Bambi, Cinderella, Pinocchio, 101 Dalmatians, and Mary Poppins, as well as Disneyland and Disney World. Walt Disney was the man who proved that when you wish upon a star, your dreams will come true! .

Amid the Coronavirus Pandemic, Remember “Thanks for the Memory” Oscar-Winning
Back to Newsroom (/newsroom) Leo Robin Music Amid the Coronavirus Pandemic, Remember "Thanks for the Memory" Oscar-Winning Lyricist Leo Robin Who Served on The Hollywood Office of Music War Council During WWII - The Hollywood Walk of Fame Should Install #LeosLostStar" Awarded to Him 30 Years Ago Tuesday, April 28, 2020 3:18 PM SHERMAN OAKS, CA / ACCESSWIRE / April 28, 2020 / Turning on the radio back in 1944 you would have heard the most celebrated jazz musicians such as Louis Armstrong and Lionel Hampton and vocalists such as Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, Dinah Washington and actress Marlene Dietrich singing the wartime song "No Love, No Nothin'." Lyricist Leo Robin wrote the heartfelt lyrics to this song during World War II when romantic and sentimental songs about the girls left behind captured the mood of the country. In The Great Jazz and Pop Vocal Albums, Will Friedwald gives his interpretation, "this no-frills love song is refreshingly straightforward. No frills, no love, no nothin', in fact -- it's all about the deprivation of the 'love-sick girl' on the home front is suffering; [...] there's an obvious parallel with wartime rationing and shortages. It was near impossible to get sugar, rubber, tires, or gasoline, among other goods and the same thing applied to love, she's not getting any of that either." Today's songwriters and musicians amid the Coronavirus pandemic follow in the footsteps of those during World War II in writing and performing songs that capture the mood of the country during this new war against what President Trump calls the "invisible enemy." For example, Alicia Keys, a 15-time Grammy winner, debuted her new powerful anthem "Good Job" to honor the unsung heroes in her own life during a CNN global town hall addressing the latest developments in the Covid-19 pandemic.

SCENE 6: VANYA WE LICKED POSTAGE STAMPS! We Didn't Have
SCENE 6: VANYA WE LICKED POSTAGE STAMPS! We didn't have answering machines. You had to call people back. (MASHA moves away.) , We ate Spam, just like the soldiers in World War II did. (to SPIKE) Have you heard of World War II? We played Scrabble and Monopoly. We didn't play video games, in some virtual reality, where we would kill policeman and prostitutes as if that was some sort of entertainment. The popular entertainment wasn't so insane back then. It was sometimes corny, but sincere. We all saw the movie "Davy Crockett" and wore coonskin caps. That may not sound sane, wearing those caps, but it was very innocent. And we all did it, there was a solidarity about it, unlike being alone in your room killing prostitutes in a video game. We followed The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet. Which starred the real life Ozzie and Harriet Nelson.But "Adventures" was a strange word for the show because it was extremely uneventful. They did things like ...make popcorn in the kitchen. Or ...Iook for missing socks. In retrospect they seemed medicated. It was a stupid show, but it was calming. You didn't feel it was stirring people up and creating serial killers. I'm sorry I'm getting off the point. But my point is the 50s were idiotic but I miss parts of them. When I was 13 I saw Goldfingerwith Sean Connery as James Bond, and I didn't get the meaning of the character name of "Pussy Galore." Went right over my head.

Walt Disney Imagineering Research & Development, Inc. Request For
Walt Disney Imagineering Research & Development, Inc. Request for Experimental STA ELS File No. 0469-EX-ST-2018 NARRATIVE STATEMENT Pursuant to Section 5.3(a) and (e) and Section 5.61 of the Federal Communications Commission’s (“FCC”) rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 5.3(a) & (e); 5.61 (2016), Walt Disney Imagineering Research & Development, Inc. (“Disney”) hereby respectfully requests experimental special temporary authority (“STA”) commencing June 1, 2018, to conduct proof-of-concept testing of authorized Part 15 ultra-wideband (“UWB”) equipment within Disney’s park premises at Anaheim, California. Operation of authorized devices on a mobile basis is permitted without an STA. An STA is needed only to test such devices at fixed locations. See generally 47 C.F.R. § 15.519 (2016). Grant of this request would allow Disney to complete the tests it commenced under the STA issued to it under Experimental Licensing System (“ELS”) File No. 1225-EX-ST-2017, call sign WL9XMN. That STA allowed the company to collect initial data to assess the performance and functionality of the equipment, but Disney was unable to complete such tests due to certain limitations. Specifically, Disney’s operations were limited by its access to the the premises. The park has its own schedule for entertainment, maintenance and construction, and the testing had to be scheduled around those activities. In particular, the test operations were limited by the crowd levels during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday seasons. Moreover, the ability to conduct tests under the existing STA was affected by the schedules of test personnel, many of whom also work on other projects, or the lack of additional equipment to replace test devices in need of repair.

The Walt Disney Company and Pixar Inc.: to Acquire Or Not to Acquire?
9-709-462 REV: JANUARY 15, 201 0 J U A N A L C Á CER DAVID COLLIS M A R Y F U R E Y The Walt Disney Company and Pixar Inc.: To Acquire or Not to Acquire? In November 2005, Robert Iger, the newly appointed CEO of the Walt Disney Company, eagerly awaited the box office results of Chicken Little, the company’s second computer-generated (CG) feature film. He knew that, for Disney as a whole to be successful, he had to get the animation business right, particularly the new CG technology that was rapidly supplanting hand-drawn animation.1 Yet the company had been reliant on a contract with animation studio Pixar, which had produced hits such as Toy Story and Finding Nemo, for most of its recent animated film revenue. And the co-production agreement, brokered during the tenure of his predecessor, Michael Eisner, was set to expire in 2006 after the release of Cars, the fifth movie in the five-picture deal. Unfortunately, contract renewal negotiations between Steve Jobs, CEO of Pixar, and Eisner had broken down in 2004 amid reports of personal conflict. When he assumed his new role, Iger reopened the lines of communication between the companies. In fact, he had just struck a deal with Jobs to sell Disney- owned, ABC-produced television shows—such as “Desperate Housewives”—through Apple’s iTunes Music Store.2 Iger knew that a deal with Pixar was possible; it was just a question of what that deal would look like. Did it make the most sense for Disney to simply buy Pixar? Walt Disney Feature Animation Walt Disney Feature Animation began with the production of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in 1934.

Monday 25 July 2016, London. Ahead of Kirk Douglas’ 100th birthday this December, BFI Southbank pay tribute to this major Hollywood star with a season of 20 of his greatest films, running from 1 September – 4 October 2016. Over the course of his sixty year career, Douglas became known for playing iconic action heroes, and worked with the some of the greatest Hollywood directors of the 1940s and 1950s including Billy Wilder, Howard Hawks, Vincente Minnelli and Stanley Kubrick. Films being screened during the season will include musical drama Young Man with a Horn (Michael Curtiz, 1949) alongside Lauren Bacall and Doris Day, Stanley Kubrick’s epic Spartacus (1960), Champion (Mark Robson, 1949) for which he received the first of three Oscar® nominations for Best Actor, and the sci- fi family favourite 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (Richard Fleischer, 1954). The season will kick off with a special discussion event Kirk Douglas: The Movies, The Muscles, The Dimple; this event will see a panel of film scholars examine Douglas’ performances and star persona, and explore his particular brand of Hollywood masculinity. Also included in the season will be a screening of Seven Days in May (John Frankenheimer, 1964) which Douglas starred in opposite Ava Gardner; the screening will be introduced by English Heritage who will unveil a new blue plaque in honour of Ava Gardner at her former Knightsbridge home later this year. Born Issur Danielovich into a poor immigrant family in New York State, Kirk Douglas began his path to acting success on a special scholarship at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City, where he met Betty Joan Perske (later to become better known as Lauren Bacall), who would play an important role in helping to launch his film career.
