Road trip! We sure have come a long way. I would choose the highway Slumber Bus from the startling idea board. From the experts more realistic future I choose the punch card automatic navigation system with synchronized scanning map in a highly specialized pleasure vehicle. I always enjoy the way Walt Disney Presents things. It is so nice of you to take the time and effort to share Disney history with us each day. Thank you, thank you and at least once more...

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  943.6 #91 8:24AM

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  331.4 #463 4:16PM

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  943.6 #91 12:39PM

Good morning! This day in Disney history, May 8th, 1930. "Frolicking Fish" , a Silly Symphony short directed by Burt Gillett, is released. The title tells it all here, until the festivities are interrupted by a "scary" octopus. To watch: http://is.gd/YaVhWP
thanks! My kids were glued to the screen watching it just now. - rdaann  273.4 #794 7:00AM
Love to hear that! Thank YOU! - Duchess_SMK  3249.0 #11 7:54AM
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  943.6 #91 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  3249.0 #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  943.6 #91 8:09AM
