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 […]

For those of you who have fled the seething cauldron of angst formerly known as Twitter, we can now be found in bluer skies... join us, won't you?

Today on the Progress City Radio Hour! Autumn has arrived! We take a look at Disney's intersections with the traditions of my favorite season including football, state fairs, and the spookiness of Sleepy Hollow!

In this Town Hall we're thrilled to speak with Derric Johnson, founder and long-time leader of the Voices of Liberty at EPCOT's American Adventure pavilion. Learn about his early Disney experiences in the 1970s, special moments over the years with the Voices of Liberty, and his time directing the annual Walt Disney World Candlelight Ceremony.

To honor the recent passing of Disney Legend Richard Sherman, this special episode of the Radio Hour is a tribute to the iconic and unforgettable Sherman Brothers. We'll take a look at some of their lesser-known work, from their time before Disney to projects such as Tinpanorama and Summer Magic, to, yes, even SMASH FLOPS!

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.
