Good morning! This busy day in Disney history, May 25th 1955: The Disney film "Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier, starring the great Fess Parker (As Davy Crockett) & Buddy Ebsen (as Georgie Russel), is released. An edited compilation of the 1st 3 episodes of the Davy Crockett Disney TV series, the film will greatly influence the design of Disneylands Frontierland. The U.S. is in the midst o More...

🎶Davy...Davy Crockett, King of the wild frontier! I remember watching the show. Fun memories! I'm pretty sure I saw Pinocchio that first year I was there at Christmas time with my whole family in 1983. I definitely remember that Mickey Mouse theater, too. Loved it, but I love Pinocchio more. So that was a good change. Thank you for another trip down memory lane, Duchess! 😘 - meridafan

Thanks for all of this great info! I especially loved reading about the Pinocchio attraction...I never knew any of that before. My kids love to run around Pirate's Lair so I don't mind the change since that's where we have some fun memories with them since they were really young. 😊 - MinnieMousewife

#ThrowbackThursday #TheChickenoftheSeaPirateShip and Restaurant in 1967. This would have been before the name was changed to Captain Hooks Galley in 1969. Hot tuna pie anyone? Is that really someone sitting out on the very front of the ship?? I just noticed that!

I remember this, we got the decoder paper, translated the wall writings with it, looked for the hidden objects in adventureland, saw the indy show in the aladdin oasis - kinda violent looking since the lady character was in a mock fight with a guy(suppose to be like the movie). It was an exciting time. - Plumiegirl 3383.0 #10 9:28AM

Good morning & Happy Mothers Day to all the MW Mamas! This day in Disney history, May 12th, 1956.
The Main Street Horseless Carriage begins operating @ Disneyland.
It was the 1st vehicle to run w/out the use of horsepower, & I mean the four-legged kind. At that time, there were three other vehicles in operation, all horse drawn…the Fire Wagon, Street Car, & Surrey. All were designed by Disney More...
So cool! And Happy Mother's Day! Yes I've been on all the Main Street vehicles at one time or another! They certainly add to the charm of Main Street. My favorite has always been the Omnibus on the top level!!! So fun! I love the sounds of the motor and the horn of the cars going down the street. With the music, sights and sounds... That's what Main Street U.S.A. is all about! Thank you SMK! What a great part of Disney history! - MyPark

Thank you so much for this amazing post, as she is truly someone to be honored. I have had the fortune of meeting Alice and Marc on three occasions and they were the most gracious people, who were incredibly touched by the kind words and compliments from people. The last time I saw them was three weeks before he passed away and he was telling me stories of when he worked on HM and she was having to lovingly finish his sentences for him. I have the biggest soft spot for them, out of all the imagineers, and it is just wonderful seeing this post, thank you again!❤ - Nala

Good morning! This day in Disney history, May 9th, 1941.
Disney's Donald Duck cartoon "A Good Time for a Dime" , Directed by Dick Lundy is released. Donald visits a penny arcade where he finds a risqué Daisy dancing in one of the nickelodeon shows, as well as a few unexpected battles. To watch: http://is.gd/zixi86
Oh Fun!!! Love Donald!! These are such great classic cartoons. I love how it shows the simple, mechanical machines of 1941. No computers, no 3D graphics, no scores... you'd play a simple game and get a simple prize. Thank you SMK for another look from your Disney History time machine! I love all your History posts! Thank you for making me smile! (By the way, I've met Leonard Maltin. Interesting guy... not the warmest person in the world). - MyPark

I love these early animations. I noticed the animators worked on synchronizing the music and sounds with the animation. This was such a new medium at the time and animators were often in unknown territories of drawing, art, and music. It's so cool to see how this developed into what became Disney animation. Thank you SMK for taking us back to another great day in Disney history!! - MyPark
944.5 #92 7:09AM
From what i read, it marks a turning point in animation style. Beforehand, characters would start & stop almost mechanically. Norm Ferguson (one of the animators) developed a style where the characters never completely stopped, but when one part would stop another part would start moving, making the whole movement much more fluid. Disney liked the effect so much he made all the other animators study Ferguson's style. - Duchess_SMK 3298.0 #11 7:53AM
Oh thank you for that! Walt always looked for innovative techniques. he was a pioneer! You're a wealth of Disney knowledge! - MyPark 944.5 #92 8:09AM
