I was fortunate enough to rescue most of this storage locker’s contents that belonged to a Disney Legend, including correspondence with Walt, original storyboards, photos, scripts, and film reels. It’s sad to see a life’s work end up this way, but I’m glad to preserve these treasures.

PR by day and Disney history the rest of the time as co-editor for the Hyperion Historical Alliance Press.
Head over to Stuart Ng Books in Torrance, CA until the end of March 2026 to save 20 percent on this recently published HHA Press hardcover edited by JB Kaufman and yours truly!
This March 1965 Herblock cartoon about police violence against civil rights activists has added relevance today.
A newspaper interview with Mary Costa nearly 30 years ago led to a lifetime of meaningful friendship. So thankful for a holiday visit that found this Disney Legend as lovely and gracious as ever. She enjoyed reminiscing about CBS Christmas promo photos from 1956! #sleepingbeauty #disneylegend

Does anyone know the artist for this original painting used for Disneyland’s 1979 Very Merry Christmas Parade? It’s been rescued but there’s no artist credited. @jason.parkendium.com @tomkmorris.bsky.social
Walt Disney’s advice to Donald Duck still holds true: “Be yourself.” #disney
The positive vibes found on this site are refreshing and encouraging. I’m looking forward to sharing and interacting more here.
It’s the one-year anniversary of snapping this multiplane photo during a visit to the Walt Disney Archives for research as “Robin Hood” celebrated its 50th anniversary. #disney
