Sherman and Robert B. Sherman, composers of so many memorable songs in Disney theme parks and motion pictures have now their own window on Main Street, U.S.A. at Disneyland. As we know the tradition of honoring individuals with a personalized decorative window was started on Main Street, U.S.A. by Walt Disney and has continued at Disney parks worldwide. A Disneyland window is considered the ultimate honor anyone can receive from “The Happiest Place on Earth.”<br /> <br />Considering that the Shermans’ composed more than 150 Disney songs including such familiar Disneyland compositions like “The Tiki Tiki Tiki Room”, “There’s a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow” and “It’s a Small World” - one of the most translated and performed songs on Earth - the least we can say is that they fully deserved their Main Street window! Among the Sherman brothers’ honors are three Grammy Awards, 24 gold and platinum albums and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. They have also been named Disney Legends in 1990.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i843.photobucket.com/albums/zz352/loaloauk/Universal%20Singapore/Disney%20and%20more/scherman3.jpg?t=1268754381"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 532px; height: 540px;" src="http://i843.photobucket.com/albums/zz352/loaloauk/Universal%20Singapore/Disney%20and%20more/scherman3.jpg?t=1268754381" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /> <br />The Main Street window ceremony was held mid-morning last thursday and Disneyland Resort President George Kalogridis, Thomas Schumacher, Marty Sklar and Tom Staggs, chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts did each a great tribute to the Sherman Brothers.

For reservations for the L.A and N.Y <a href="http://www.disney.go.com/disneypictures/princessfrogtickets/">special release please go HERE</a>.<br /><br />BURBANK, Calif. & NEW YORK — In celebration of Disney’s newest animated musical “The Princess and The Frog,” Walt Disney Studios is opening its Burbank gates to the public for a once-in-a-lifetime advance special engagement, welcoming Disney fans to experience its newest animated musical comedy Nov. 25-Dec. 13, 2009. The advance special engagement will also be featured in Clearview’s historic Ziegfeld Theatre in New York City. Following the film, fans on both coasts will also be treated to The Ultimate Disney Experience, an exciting extravaganza that will feature—for the first time ever—all nine of the Disney princesses (including the film’s Princess Tiana, Disney’s newest princess), as well as exciting Bayou games, movie archives, how-to presentations from Disney animators, Studio tours (for L.A. guests) and more. Tickets went on sale at midnight last night.<br /><br />“We’re welcoming families to our Studio to see where Walt Disney made real movie magic,” said Dick Cook, chairman of The Walt Disney Studios. “Our Studio is not open to the public, so it’s an unprecedented opportunity for Disney fans to experience a movie right here on the Disney lot where we’ve filmed Disney classics like ‘Mary Poppins,’ ‘Princess Diaries,’ ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ and many more. In fact, Walt built the original theater on the Studio lot back in 1940; it opened just in time for special audiences to view his ‘Fantasia.’ With a newly renovated, state-of-the-art theater, the Studio will open its gates once again, inviting audiences to not only see our newest animated musical, but to take part in a one-of-a-kind experience after the movie. We’re bringing the same exciting experience to New York City at the historic Ziegfeld Theatre and Roseland Ballroom.”<br /><br /><img src="http://i843.photobucket.com/albums/zz352/loaloauk/PFexperience2.jpg"><br /><br />Themed to the film’s setting, New Orleans, The Ultimate Disney Experience will feature something for the whole family.<br /><br />* PRINCESS POWER – All nine of the Disney princesses will come together for the first time ever, welcoming Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Belle, Ariel, Pocahontas, Jasmine, Mulan and of course, Disney’s newest princess, Tiana.<br /><br />* FUN ‘N GAMES — The Experience will feature opportunities to swing on ropes, climb trees, play games and race through the Bayou Adventure, plus a New Orleans’s Bead Toss, Naveen’s Leap Frog, video games and more.<br /><br />* HOLLYWOOD HEIRLOOMS — Disney movie archives will be on display for the first time ever, including props and costumes from a variety of films like “Mary Poppins,” the “Pirates of the Caribbean” trilogy and more.<br /><br />* MOVIE MAGIC – Guests can learn movie magic from real Disney animators who will be on hand teaching guests how to draw a character from the film.<br /><br />* PICTURE THIS – Guests can put themselves in the movie at Kodak photo locations.

Because the amazing footage of Walt and El Grupo "chronicles the amazing ten-week trip that Walt Disney and his hand-picked group of artists and filmmaking talent (later known as “El Grupo”) took to South America in 1941 at the behest of the U.S. Government as part of the Good Neighbor Policy. During this time, the Roosevelt administration had growing concerns about Nazi and Fascist influence in Latin America, and the rest of the world was slipping further into war." <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i843.photobucket.com/albums/zz352/loaloauk/grupo0.jpg?t=1249249319"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 640px; height: 438px;" src="http://i843.photobucket.com/albums/zz352/loaloauk/grupo0.jpg?t=1249249319" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />"In stark contrast to these trying times, Disney and his colorful group of artists found themselves on a lively trip full of hope and discovery as they explored various South American cities, spending the majority of their time in the countries of Argentina, Brazil and Chile. The group was saddled with an unusual assignment – while gathering story material, immersing themselves in the culture, befriending local artists, meeting political leaders and attending countless functions, their journey was also a de facto diplomatic mission, and as a result, the studio produced the classic films “Saludos Amigos” and “The Three Caballeros.” <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i843.photobucket.com/albums/zz352/loaloauk/grupo2.jpg?t=1249249425"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 640px; height: 479px;" src="http://i843.photobucket.com/albums/zz352/loaloauk/grupo2.jpg?t=1249249425" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />"Shot on film in five countries, Walt and El Grupo is a tale that still resonates on both sides of the equator.

<br />
You will love these amazing Disneyland construction videos! Frankly, it's an amazing treasure, and as all treasures its find happened with a bit of luck with the discovery of a reel box with "Disneyland movie" written on it. Inside, all - or almost - the 1954-55 building of Disneyland, thanks to cameras that were placed up on towers at different places of the park. Using time-lapse and traditional eye-in-the-sky photography, this is a dazzling piece of history, presenting how the fearless construction crews had Disneyland up and running in just under a year.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://i843.photobucket.com/albums/zz352/loaloauk/B5TOMMOROWLANDCONSTRUCTION2.jpg?t=1248811594" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://i843.photobucket.com/albums/zz352/loaloauk/B5TOMMOROWLANDCONSTRUCTION2.jpg?t=1248811594" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 794px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 640px;" /></a><br />
<br />
It's totally fascinating, really. A pure miracle, as you would have never expect to see one day what you will see now. A Disneyland fan dream-come-true! What is the most surprising for me is that these Youtube videos were uploaded 8 months ago and nobody noticed them before! Anyway, better too late than never, especially when it's a treasure like this with - on the third video - a commentary by Tony Baxter and Ed Hobleman and Walter Magnuson. <br />
<br />
So, get a drink and some good <span style="font-style: italic;">tapas</span>, sit well and enjoy the movie, you won't believe your eyes.<br />

Edited: In fact, some of you told me that all this wonderful footage is part of the special features of the Disney Trasures DVD: Disneyland - Secrets, Stories & Magic.<br />
So, it is not as rare as i thought (!) but it's great anyway! <br />

I know, it's done on purpose, as they don't want us to see too much. Still, it's frustating, isn't it? And in the case of the awaited Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, it's VERY frustating! <br /><br />So, i succeed to find a trailer in enough good resolution to have good screen captures - click on each to see them in big "wallpaper" size. And as you will see, it is <span style="font-style:italic;">very</span> interesting to see clearly the details. A little warning, though, as there may be some spoilers ahead!<br /><br />Soooo, the beginning of the trailer shows Alice running in the British countryside, until she's attract by this hole in the tree...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i843.photobucket.com/albums/zz352/loaloauk/photo1-1.jpg?t=1248644957"><img style="display:block;

"Mission to Mars" now a Disneyland and Walt Disney World extinct attraction was located in Tomorrowland. The show was originally named Flight to the Moon and as we know it opened in 1955. In 1975, the destination was changed to Mars because man had already been to the moon. During that time, the attraction was considerably updated.<br /><br /><img src="http://i843.photobucket.com/albums/zz352/loaloauk/missionmars0.jpg"><br /><br />The show was initially sponsored by McDonnell-Douglas. After sponsorship ended, logos referring to the company were removed from the attraction, but the outline of the stylized tail fin in the McDonnell-Douglas logo still remains part of the former building's facade as you can see on this short Youtube video showing Mission to Mars entrance at night.<br /><br /><br /><object width="640" height="505"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Wf94K8dAa9Q&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Wf94K8dAa9Q&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="505"></embed></object><br /><br />The show was designed in cooperation with NASA and was basically a revised and updated version of the previous attraction Flight to the Moon. Guests would now be launched on a spacecraft into space and then approach the surface of the red planet Mars.<br /><br /><img src="http://i843.photobucket.com/albums/zz352/loaloauk/missionmars3.jpg"><br /><br />Guests would first enter a viewing area known as Mission Control, which was modeled after a typical mission control center with chairs and control panels for about ten seated Audio-Animatronic "technicians" whose backs were to the audience as they moved their heads and arms. Facing the audience was the Audio-Animatronic flight director Mr. Johnson. He would then talk and show film clips to explain how man had made numerous advances in space travel and manufacturing in microgravity, and also learned how to deal with the effects of space. The lecture was interrupted once per show by an intruder alarm caused by a large bird crash-landing near the spacecraft launch pad.<br /><br /><img src="http://i843.photobucket.com/albums/zz352/loaloauk/missionmars1.jpg"><br /><br />After the pre-show, guests would move on and finally board their spacecraft. Inside was a circular theater with stadium-like seating with circular flat screens on the ceiling and floor. During the mission, guests could look at the views from outside the spacecraft from either of these screens. There were also side screens that showed film clips or graphics. <br /><br /><img src="http://i843.photobucket.com/albums/zz352/loaloauk/missionmars4.jpg"><br /><br />"Third Officer Collins" was the tour guide, and discussed the mission as the spacecraft explored space and Mars. Eventually, the ship was damaged, possibly by a volcanic eruption, and the ship had to quickly head back to Earth. The seats in the attraction would simulate the vibrations and G-forces from "Hyper-space" during take-offs and landings by filling up with compressed air. Finally, the spacecraft landed safely back on Earth and Officer Collins would then urge guests to return and visit again. As he explained, "there's a lot more to see on Mars".<br /><br />The attraction closed at Disneyland on November 2, 1992, and at the Magic Kingdom on October 4, 1993. It re-opened as the ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter as part of the Magic Kingdom's New Tomorrowland on June 20, 1995 but that's another story...<br /><br />Below two videos of Mission to Mars, the first one shows the pre-show with Mission Control room and the second one the show itself. Please note that the show was quite dark, so...<br /><br /><br /><object width="640" height="505"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/TE9n6owrMZ0&hl=fr&fs=1&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/TE9n6owrMZ0&hl=fr&fs=1&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="505"></embed></object><br /><br /><br /><object width="640" height="505"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/IhXFO-0oMYc&hl=fr&fs=1&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/IhXFO-0oMYc&hl=fr&fs=1&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="505"></embed></object><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i843.photobucket.com/albums/zz352/loaloauk/missionspace2-1.jpg?t=1248259699"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 640px; height: 874px;" src="http://i843.photobucket.com/albums/zz352/loaloauk/missionspace2-1.jpg?t=1248259699" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Ten years later, another "mission" will take WDW guests on Mars, and it was at Epcot when "Mission: Space" opened on October 9, 2003. Well, as a matter of fact, what opened was the first part of a much better "Mission: Space" attraction concept. <br /><br />In its first concept part one of the attraction was the same one that Epcot guests can ride every day, i.e the shuttle centrifuge-simulator of a blast-off to outer space.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i843.photobucket.com/albums/zz352/loaloauk/missionspace1-1.jpg?t=1248223475"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 640px; height: 552px;" src="http://i843.photobucket.com/albums/zz352/loaloauk/missionspace1-1.jpg?t=1248223475" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><img src="http://i843.photobucket.com/albums/zz352/loaloauk/missionspace05.jpg"><br /><br />But instead to go on Mars, the original concept would have sent Mission: Space guests to a Space Station built on the Moon - or, according to <a href="jimhillmedia.com/blogs/jim_hill/archive/2000/12/31/302.aspx">Jim Hill</a> in his excellent <a href="http://jimhillmedia.com/blogs/jim_hill/archive/2000/12/31/302.aspx">2001 article</a>, on a huge asteroid. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i843.photobucket.com/albums/zz352/loaloauk/MissionSpacerend1.jpg?t=1248223710"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 640px; height: 266px;" src="http://i843.photobucket.com/albums/zz352/loaloauk/MissionSpacerend1.jpg?t=1248223710" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Always according to Jim "After they've arrived at the station, Epcot visitors will be free to disembark and discover the many wonders that are hidden deep inside that asteroid". And how, you ask? Well, that was the third genius part of the ride as Guests would have been able to move inside the Space Station thanks to a simulation of "MMU" - Manned Maneuvering Unit - the famous propulsion backpack which was used by NASA astronauts on three space shuttle missions in 1984 and which allowed the astronauts to perform untethered EVA spacewalks at a distance from the shuttle. Of course, as you can see on the rendering below, every one was supposed to follow the track, but the ride would have been great <span style="font-style:italic;">anyway</span>, don't you think so?<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i843.photobucket.com/albums/zz352/loaloauk/MissionSpacerend2.jpg?t=1248223842"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 640px; height: 320px;" src="http://i843.photobucket.com/albums/zz352/loaloauk/MissionSpacerend2.jpg?t=1248223842" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Of course the cost of the whole attraction was extremely high, and too high probably for Michael Eisner, Disney's CEO at that time.

These series were done with the help of future NASA scientists and Walt, always visionary, asked Wernher Von Braun - who will designed later the Saturn 5 rocket for the Apollo missions - what could be his vision of the future space travels. It's also thanks to the series that President Ike Eisenhower after a private screening became more interested in the conquest of space, and then launched the space program...which finally will send a man on the moon!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlC1GgeaIkPudseGzG6hUVkL53KaOyYj7DMVRDMoaR2e4YZln1oiTAzbrzVfUmlbPmp2FTXdL5cB_Q5UzYaUZK_Vo7jycuD0FF62uug-_rtJfnrCAGDQXYgPE4mpBYpG8vGEr_cCFJWU_E/s1600-h/MANINSPACE.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 181px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlC1GgeaIkPudseGzG6hUVkL53KaOyYj7DMVRDMoaR2e4YZln1oiTAzbrzVfUmlbPmp2FTXdL5cB_Q5UzYaUZK_Vo7jycuD0FF62uug-_rtJfnrCAGDQXYgPE4mpBYpG8vGEr_cCFJWU_E/s400/MANINSPACE.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359975136275369442" /></a><br /><br />What is less known is that genius movie director Stanley Kubrick took a lot of inspiration out of these series when he did ten years later his legendary "2001, A Space Odyssey" movie. Kubrick even paid a tribute to Disney animator Ward Kimball Director of the TV series. In the second part of "2001" some astronauts are sleeping "frozen" in a kind of sarcophagus during the long trip of the spaceship Discovery. And the name of one of them - written on the cryogenic coffin - is "Kimball", a tribute of Kubrick to Ward Kimball.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX3oo8o2e6mYIBdSz8d4_oBMll_v1-U5d-JcuAqYYLw3DMqiVn9pj7sGK0pSrpqmSgdkGhc7rsveG97ri6Bq3ERpgfEbEiSztrKKUbXONai4KFK5olOtx5eqVS6z0IkCPLYIR92jhy_3c/s1600-h/photo+8.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX3oo8o2e6mYIBdSz8d4_oBMll_v1-U5d-JcuAqYYLw3DMqiVn9pj7sGK0pSrpqmSgdkGhc7rsveG97ri6Bq3ERpgfEbEiSztrKKUbXONai4KFK5olOtx5eqVS6z0IkCPLYIR92jhy_3c/s400/photo+8.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5098293232775914946" /></a><br /><br />To come back to the TV series, Man and the Moon begin with a humorous look with Man's fascination with the Moon through animation. This segment features the Moon's usage in everything from William Shakespeare and children's nursery rhymes to lunar superstitions and scientific research. Then Ward Kimball comes on with some information on the moon, supplemented by graphics. Kimball then introduces Wernher Von Braun, who discusses plans for a trip around the moon. Finally, a live action simulation from inside and outside the manned Lunar Reconn Ship RM-1 dramatizes what such an expedition might be like, including an almost-disastrous hit by a very small meteor.<br /><br />Here is some artwork from the "Man in Space" animated series.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicIAmtj6E9jAkZKzVd-gEmHRRe7JFpv1Ajn0VOGTmrEHYlnvCt5iUVWrfvtB9YV4cpEJQhnEhPkk-NchyphenhyphenQ5DeQrHsqXP6GrR6TbcEPnWt91a3rsJxjd5KK7f6Hm1qNlf25k8fDp3CO2Uw/s1600-h/photo+9.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicIAmtj6E9jAkZKzVd-gEmHRRe7JFpv1Ajn0VOGTmrEHYlnvCt5iUVWrfvtB9YV4cpEJQhnEhPkk-NchyphenhyphenQ5DeQrHsqXP6GrR6TbcEPnWt91a3rsJxjd5KK7f6Hm1qNlf25k8fDp3CO2Uw/s400/photo+9.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5098292846228858290" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqel6msdADM2yfPu4oNKHHFY5J3KV-081kecyH1S4Mwj8GUWg-CoBKEbGQWBNR81BiYmnYDReZNm9fCVGlN1pkla14Olzdi0oitdhzSQnSFvks1rKw1aBzMkD1RkfwnjFamZCba_iJM8A/s1600-h/photo+10.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqel6msdADM2yfPu4oNKHHFY5J3KV-081kecyH1S4Mwj8GUWg-CoBKEbGQWBNR81BiYmnYDReZNm9fCVGlN1pkla14Olzdi0oitdhzSQnSFvks1rKw1aBzMkD1RkfwnjFamZCba_iJM8A/s400/photo+10.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5098292764624479650" /></a><br /><br />Wernher Von Braun - the creator of the Apollo rockets - employed as technical consultant, is here with Walt.

Always directed by Ward Kimball and narrated by Paul Frees. This new episode discusses the possibility of life on other planets, especially Mars. It begins with an introduction of Walt Disney and his robot friend Garco, who provide a brief overview. It continues with an animated presentation about mankind seeking to understand the world in which he lives, first noticing patterns in the stars, and developing certain beliefs regarding the celestial bodies. Theories from scientists and philosophers are discussed, including Ptolemy's inaccurate, but formerly-accepted theories, as well as those of Copernicus. Life on other planets is considered, soon focusing on Mars. Ideas from science-fiction authors H.G. Wells and Edgar Rice Burroughs are brought to life with more colorful animation. Pulp science fiction comics of the time are parodied in the same straightforward tone as everything else (this segment features Kimball's comic tone and there's even a cameo appearance by Donald Duck).<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOZpWPRRMQrMMOaSaZOSzQjGNnKgdpm1Oz4C4-3I2S1lIiirTw06z_fDO-7I3z8kyEWCHPH5pkXVKhfk-TVDQz0hFMRTfI9ZL9lQMMX1JFmRvTxteWpE72yjrwzTmkwU5EHTADzm051Mg/s1600-h/A14+WALT+WITH+DLAND+ROBOT.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOZpWPRRMQrMMOaSaZOSzQjGNnKgdpm1Oz4C4-3I2S1lIiirTw06z_fDO-7I3z8kyEWCHPH5pkXVKhfk-TVDQz0hFMRTfI9ZL9lQMMX1JFmRvTxteWpE72yjrwzTmkwU5EHTADzm051Mg/s400/A14+WALT+WITH+DLAND+ROBOT.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5098295646547535314" /></a><br /><br />After this, the program adopts a serious tone as it profiles each of the planets in the solar system, from the perspective of what would happen to a man on them. The program claims that whereas most of the planets are either too cold or too hot for life as we know it, life on Mars could almost be normal, something that is of increasing importance for the future. Dr. E.C. Slipher then discusses the Red Planet and the possibility that life is already there. More animation speculates what the conditions on Mars might be like. This section is filled with striking, inventive and decidedly atypical Disney animation.<br /><br /><img src="http://i843.photobucket.com/albums/zz352/loaloauk/wardkimball.jpg"><br /><span style="font-style:italic;"><br />Above: Animator Julius Svendsen with Ward Kimball and models designed for the show.<br />Below: Wernher Von Braun, technical consultant on the series, with the same model.</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUHTflSvB1I56N5jZKwMSguH9pqoXqa5pDKEz5Et_wycvcyglPuwfUKhB4w3jR0aOzlt_N7VSB7Roubf3sUA7EPdhb6glqBV6daLK6ZUUaF5wLo936GHFCcH-NWSOE8cvojVyBjFCVPp9Y/s1600-h/von+braun.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 279px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUHTflSvB1I56N5jZKwMSguH9pqoXqa5pDKEz5Et_wycvcyglPuwfUKhB4w3jR0aOzlt_N7VSB7Roubf3sUA7EPdhb6glqBV6daLK6ZUUaF5wLo936GHFCcH-NWSOE8cvojVyBjFCVPp9Y/s400/von+braun.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359973377668154722" /></a><br /><br />The program wraps up with what a trip to Mars would entail for a space crew and its vessels. Contributor/spacecraft designer Ernst Stuhlinger - on the picture below with Von Braun holding a model used for the show - presents his design and details regarding a unique umbrella-shaped MarsShip: The top portion would be a revolving outer quarters ring providing artificial gravity for the crew of 20, under 'parasol' coolant tubes. At the other end would be a sodium-potassium reactor to provide power to the midsection electric/ion drive. Attached upright would be a chemically-fueled winged tail-lander. The mission shown involves six MarsShips, ultimately reaching 100,000 mph, taking a 400 day, spiral course to Mars. There, they would spend 412 days on the surface before returning.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWrJdFTpBiQBbZbTLH4VLqNpQREMuHz2Xe1JQgy9aDZ9Wu6RdTnC2Mlb3ph6hGBQSkpfGXLMKHrFRu8SdFRlgFw0SiHlqIIHCau1gqxCoc_MC4k20pX5epsui6pb7XC939O8A6Vy-iZDU9/s1600-h/Dr.+Ernst+Stuhlinger+and+Dr.+Wernher+von+Braun.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 306px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWrJdFTpBiQBbZbTLH4VLqNpQREMuHz2Xe1JQgy9aDZ9Wu6RdTnC2Mlb3ph6hGBQSkpfGXLMKHrFRu8SdFRlgFw0SiHlqIIHCau1gqxCoc_MC4k20pX5epsui6pb7XC939O8A6Vy-iZDU9/s400/Dr.+Ernst+Stuhlinger+and+Dr.+Wernher+von+Braun.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359973591761973954" /></a><br /><br />I will end this article with the full "Mars and beyond" episode.

Incredible, isn't it? To celebrate this event i've embedded below the fantastic "Disneyland U.S.A" documentary filmed in the late 50's.<br /><br />Why fantastic? Well, first, it's incredibly well filmed - and in glorious Cinemascope! The Cinemascope format was brand new at that time, and it's interesting to see how each frame of the movie have been thought to take as much as possible advantage of this new wide format. Sometime it almost reminds me the Cinerama movies which will be introduce some years later.<br /><br />If you have never seen it don't miss it as it's also a unique chance to see how Disneyland looks like 50 years ago. In fact, truth is that it's not a documentary but a real time machine!<br /><br />The best is to click at the right bottom to see it full screen to have the best experience. Enjoy it, and most of all, Happy Birthday to Disneyland!<br /><br /><object width="640" height="505"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/a0O8Il1BF9A&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/a0O8Il1BF9A&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="505"></embed></object><br /><br /><br /><object width="640" height="505"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/3OBtS03c-Do&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/3OBtS03c-Do&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="505"></embed></object><br /><br /><br /><object width="640" height="505"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/VKNsuBJm2IA&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/VKNsuBJm2IA&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="505"></embed></object><br /><br /><br /><object width="640" height="505"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/KL-6hX974QQ&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/KL-6hX974QQ&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="505"></embed></object><br /><br /><br /><object width="640" height="505"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Y962EoZ8Bc0&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Y962EoZ8Bc0&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="505"></embed></object><br /><br /><br /><object width="640" height="505"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9y0H3YgBhWk&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9y0H3YgBhWk&hl=en&fs=1&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="505"></embed></object><br /><br />Picture and videos: copyright disneyUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5617130923375749597.post-21504966039943559402009-07-15T06:53:00.000-07:002009-07-15T07:05:30.807-07:00The Princess and the Frog<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i843.photobucket.com/albums/zz352/loaloauk/princessfrog-1.jpg?t=1247666120"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px; height: 779px;" src="http://i843.photobucket.com/albums/zz352/loaloauk/princessfrog-1.jpg?t=1247666120" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><br />Picture: copyright DisneyUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5617130923375749597.post-5812102709867864322009-07-15T06:51:00.000-07:002009-07-22T05:18:20.312-07:00The Princess and the Frog Trailer<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAPclS7MuMWAW5m6vDfBQbFb3SnGOPhTmZHIgXOAHhKXWgnYtvrmN8ebjunGPrRhT6gIx7hNSuUw6CjWvx3LxnZ00ILgEyg8MDcdlhKPCEJxu5LASSGGA0Z3F5NJ8CXlWgO5wlW7vJNEcQ/s1600-h/PF+0.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 234px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAPclS7MuMWAW5m6vDfBQbFb3SnGOPhTmZHIgXOAHhKXWgnYtvrmN8ebjunGPrRhT6gIx7hNSuUw6CjWvx3LxnZ00ILgEyg8MDcdlhKPCEJxu5LASSGGA0Z3F5NJ8CXlWgO5wlW7vJNEcQ/s400/PF+0.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334545069546760882" /></a><br /><br />The highly awaited Princess and the Frog trailer is now on line and all I can say is...Oh my God!!

I just can't wait for November!<br /><br />Recently, the Disney Channel aired the series below of Princess and the Frog featurettes. Called "The Princess and the Frog Top Secret Tour" it's a great behind the scenes tour with the directors John Musker and Ron Clements and artists involved in this awaited animated movie. A good soul - daytimesky2000 - had the good idea to upload them on Youtube, so here are the five featurettes. And yes, they include new clips from the movie never seen before!<br /><br /><br /><br /><object width="640" height="505"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/RESQZoKdwpc&hl=fr&fs=1&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/RESQZoKdwpc&hl=fr&fs=1&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="505"></embed></object><br /><br /><br /><object width="640" height="505"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fzu3DMIGIo8&hl=fr&fs=1&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fzu3DMIGIo8&hl=fr&fs=1&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="505"></embed></object><br /><br /><br /><object width="640" height="505"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ftscx72R0Yg&hl=fr&fs=1&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ftscx72R0Yg&hl=fr&fs=1&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="505"></embed></object><br /><br /><br /><br /><object width="640" height="505"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/FV1M-bVkWlw&hl=fr&fs=1&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/FV1M-bVkWlw&hl=fr&fs=1&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="505"></embed></object><br /><br /><br /><object width="640" height="505"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-5mgg-6sbUI&hl=fr&fs=1&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-5mgg-6sbUI&hl=fr&fs=1&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="505"></embed></object><br /><br />Pictures and Videos: copyright Disney - Many thanks to daytimesky2000<br /><br />Leave a comment or discuss this article on D&M english forum on <a href="http://micechat.com/forums/disney-more-blog-discussions/119010-princess-frog-top-secret-tour.html#post1055415267">Mice Chat</a><br /><br />All screen capture pictures: copyright DisneyUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5617130923375749597.post-30937651699802299722009-07-15T06:45:00.000-07:002009-07-22T05:19:15.723-07:00Legal Information & Terms of UseTerms of Use<br /><br />Please read these terms of use before using this Disney and more Blog, as use of the Disney and more Blog constitutes your assent to these Terms of Use.<br /><br />The Disney and more blog is not affiliated with, maintained by, or expresses the views/opinions of the Walt Disney Company, and may contain copyrighted images.
