Future Fantasias, 1940

By Michael - February 8th, 2011

“Maybe we ought to open up on those things instead of playing down to our medium or our public. That’s the very thing we like to have, a challenge.” – Walt Disney

This single quote speaks volumes to explain the devout admiration and fascination so many hold for the works of Walt Disney. It […]

A trio of must-see Disney related documentaries hit stores tomorrow, and I consider them to all be mandatory purchases for those interested in the company’s history and art. Over the next couple of days I’ll be providing full reviews for each, but I wanted to encourage everyone to check them out immediately (that’s the […]

A Whole New Fantasia World

By Michael - January 9th, 2010

Sometimes, I think the folks in Disney marketing are asleep at the switch. It happens when I have to accidentally stumble across something incredibly awesome, that they should be screaming from the rooftop. To wit:

“Oh that’s nice, they’re re-releasing Fantasia on Blu-Ray and WAIT WHAT?!”

We know how originally there was a plan to […]

Rocket into Christmas with our special festive holiday spectacular featuring author/historians Steven Vagnini and Foxx Nolte! And we're giving away a copy of the new Disney A to Z! Jingle those bells! http://podcast.progresscityusa.com

Sad news today, as we have been told that former head of Walt Disney Attractions, Dick Nunis, has passed away at the age of 91.

One hundred years ago yesterday, the Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio was founded in Los Angeles. What began under extremely humble circumstances eventually flourished, creating a cultural juggernaut which dominates the media landscape today.

Let’s return to EPCOT Center for a patriotic extravaganza like no other! Join us for a look at the creation of the groundbreaking attraction The American Adventure, and the history of Americana-themed spectacles that preceded it in the 19th and 20th centuries. Then take your seat for a history of the beloved singing group Voices of Liberty! Grab those rose-colored bifocals and spare a dime – it’s the Progress City Radio Hour!

Our 40th anniversary retrospective of EPCOT Center gathers one little spark of inspiration to make some memories! Follow Figment to the Dreamport as we explore the development of the classic attraction Journey into Imagination, and find out about previous Kodak promotions both at Disneyland and at the World’s Fairs. And fire up the filmstrip because we’re remembering the EPCOT Educational Media Company! Just an ordinary day, but all at once we’re on our way – it’s the Progress City Radio Hour!

If any of you Twitter refugees are looking for me, I can be found on the Sky of Blue as well....
