Lio by Mark Tatulli for December 05, 2020

119 years old the Mouse’s creator would’ve been

When you wish upon a star…….you’re dreams come truuuue.

Is that Sterling?

Glad to see Lio reanimated after his encounter with the Christmas lights yesterday!

I remember the urban legend where Walt is cryogenically frozen under “The Pirates of the Caribbean” ride in Anaheim as it was the last ride which Walt helped envision and he passed away shortly before it was opened in 67. It became a popular rumor, even PBS has covered it.

Couldn’t use a Disney character for fear of being sued!

Could have gone with Otto Preminger or Fritz Lang, today’s their birthday’s too.

We all need a little Walt Disney right now.

Lio is smarter than Walt Disney probably.

Lio always does the impossible!

Early conception of “The Princess and the Frog”.

word on the street says mr disney dint like paying his staff

“The Disney animators’ strike (1941) reflected anger at inequities of pay and privileges at the non-unionised Walt Disney Productions. As a famously autocratic employer, Walt Disney responded to the 5-week strike by firing many of his animators, but was eventually pressured into recognising the Screen Cartoonist’s Guild (SCG)”

I’ll bet they left a ring in the tub. :)

Nice one Mark ♥
