It is time to cover the second Pooh featurette, Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day. This would be considered the Walt Disney's final work with Disney Animation as he passed in 1966. While this would release in 1968 and take home the Oscar for Best Cartoon Short Subject in 1969, the majority of this project was overseen by Walt himself in the early production of the Pooh project.

Even though saying goodbye is tough, today we are closing the chapter on Ken Anderson's involvement in Haunted Mansion's rich history. We uncover the final iteration of his Bloodmere Manor walkthrough storyline where a certain devious character added to the climax of this attraction may just sound familiar enough that it might have you thinking you've lost your head. Ken Anderson really needed to sell these story concepts to Walt, so we discuss how he utilized a DIsney Studios soundstage to bring his concepts to life for test audiences. Clayton wasn't ready for this, so I'll give you fair warning….spiders are involved. Where did Ken Anderson go from here and why did he leave the project?

We kindly invite you join us today as we take you on a detailed journey through Ken Anderson's first conceived storyline for Disneyland's very own walk-through Haunted House. Things are about to get real spooky and swashbuckling, as we tell you the tale of the Legend of Captain Gore. This concept was entirely mapped out from start to finish in unbelievable detail. Ken Anderson had a fully formed backstory, walk-through layout, countless pieces of concept art and an entire script outlined. Let us Ghost Hosts be your guide as we help you visualize what it would have been like to experience this never realized attraction.Check out our official website: https://www.makeitmagicalpodcast.comMake it Magical merch is available now at https://www.bonfire.com/store/make-it-magical-podcast/!!!

Today we're not just talking about any old theme park. We're covering one that's extra special and was born with a purpose and optimism of the future in mind. We call it… EPCOT! But we couldn't do this alone, we had to bring in some help. We have the pleasure of being joined by our two swashbuckling friends, Greg and Cori from @piratesofthepolynesian. We talk the past, the present, and the future of EPCOT. This is a park that was built with a completely unique vision in mind and instilled hope in so many of its visitors. First, Greg takes us back in time explaining what original EPCOT Center was like in the past. Then, it's time to put on our critical thinking caps because we're taking a magnifying glass to see whether its recent transformation has led to positive change from what it once was. Finally, we dream up what we hope will be possible for EPCOT's future. Be sure to go support Greg and Cori and all the great Disney content they're creating!

Welcome to another edition of Clayton Watches! This is the series where we get Clayton to watch a Disney animated film he's never seen before. This week we deep dive into the often forgotten, but highly dramatic film that marks a true turning point for the future of the Disney Studios…. The Fox and the Hound. Emily may have gone a bit overboard on research for this one (even though she says too much research isn't possible), so we had to split this into 2 parts! For this episode, we cover the highs and lows of this film's production, all the juicy behind the scenes drama, the end of an era for Disney animation, and spout off plenty of Fox and the Hound fun facts! Look out for next week where we will continue to spill the tea on further production issues and discuss Clayton's thoughts on seeing this film for the first time.

Last week, we discussed the finding the right location for the Mansion as well as what inspired the look and feel of the exterior of the Mansion. But what were some of the inspirations for the interior? We're not talking about ghosts or haunted stories just yet, but what places around the country that would serve as a bit of an inspiration for the look and feel of the inside of the mansion itself. Of course, this is early on when the ride was still intended to be a walk through attraction but the inspirations did still make their way to the finished product!Check out our official website: https://www.makeitmagicalpodcast.comMake it Magical merch is available now at https://www.bonfire.com/store/make-it-magical-podcast/!!!

Many Haunted Mansion fans will know of Marc Davis, Rolly Crump, Claude Coates, and Yale Gracey, but while there were countless other imagineers that worked to bring the Mansion “alive”, none might be more important than the legendary imagineer, Ken Anderson! Now what did he provide to the Mansion?
