Disney almost had a Legend of Sleepy Hollow ride, in not one, but TWO different parks. In this episode of Distory with Kate & Kirk, we unearth some rare concepts for an Ichabod Crane-themed attraction by Imagineering—ideas that, much to our chagrin, never saw the light of day. We begin with a brief tour through the history of the Sleepy Hollow portion of The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad, highlighting some incredible concept art by Mary Blair. From there, we head over to Walt Disney World to investigate what happened to Ichabod in both Fantasyland and Liberty Square. Along the way, we explore architectural influences rooted in literary history, uncover the origins of a classic Haunted Mansion song, and learn the backstory behind a popular invisible dog joke. Kate also shares details about a little-known, never-realized land once proposed for Disneyland. Meanwhile, Kirk terrifies us with a bizarre attraction from Hong Kong and reveals some shadowy concepts that reflect his deepest wishes for Liberty Square. We end the episode watching the Headless Horseman ride into the sunset—along with our hopes for what could have been (and may never be) when it comes to seeing this eerie attraction brought to life in the Disney parks.Join us LIVE on YouTube most Thursdays at 10:30am Pacific/1:30pm Eastern for more Distory!Kate's Youtube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@disneycicerone⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠You can also find us on Instagram, Facebook, and at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠disneycicerone.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ & ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠walruscarp.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠View full video versions of each episode at Disney Cicerone's YouTube channel ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠OR on the Spotify version of our podcast.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Distory T-shirts and Stickers⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Kate's Substack⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Kate's books on Amazon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WalrusCarp T-shirts & Merch⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MOWD app

In honor of Women's History Month we're producing a two-part series about two artists who were visionaries and trailblazers. In part 2, we look at the career of Mary Blair. She changed the way Walt Disney wanted to make animation and brought modernist sophistication to his style. But not everyone at the studio was on board with Walt's dream to “get Mary in the picture.” I talk with animation historians John Canemaker and Mindy Johnson about the influence of Mary Blair, and how we've experienced her work more than we've actually seen it. And I talk with author Gabrielle Stecher about the more complicated aspects of Blair's legacy. Mindy Johnson's book is Ink & Paint: The Women of Walt Disney Animation. John Canemaker's book is Magic Color Flair: The World of Mary Blair. Gabrielle Stecher's article is “Examining The Legacy of Mary Blair.” This episode is sponsored by Audible and Remi.

In honor of Women's History Month, we're producing a two-part series about two visionary and trailblazing artists: Mary Blair and Milicent Patrick. They went to the same art school. They each began working at Disney during the Depression. They were both singled out for their talents but left in 1941. From there, they went on to have wildly different careers, but each had a lasting impact on pop culture. In part one, I talk with authors and historians Mindy Johnson and Mallory O'Meara about Milicent Patrick. She started as a special effects animator on Fantasia before designing the Gill-man from Creature from the Black Lagoon. Plus, I talk with makeup and effects artist Steve Wang about why the Gill-man is a horror icon. Mallory O'Meara's book is The Lady From The Black Lagoon, and Mindy Johnson's book is Ink & Paint: The Women of Walt Disney Animation. This episode is sponsored by Hims.

Mistakes? Bring 'em on! In this delightful episode, Jed Doherty chats with author and illustrator Eliza Kinkz about her charming new picture book, "MISTACO" - a celebration of imperfections and the beauty of embracing our flaws. Eliza shares how the book was inspired by her own experiences growing up, where she struggled to open up about her mistakes. She wanted to create a "safe space" for families to share their slip-ups without judgment. And what better way to do that than with a silly, taco-themed character named "MISTACO" - a nod to the Spanglish words Eliza grew up with. As an artist, Eliza's vibrant, chaotic style is the perfect match for this playful story. Jed praises her use of "joy, color, and chaos" - qualities that Eliza says were heavily influenced by the legendary Disney artist Mary Blair. It's a style that perfectly captures the unpredictable, messy nature of childhood. But "MISTACO" isn't just about the laughs. Eliza and Jed dive deep into the importance of teaching kids (and adults!) to embrace their mistakes. They share personal stories of how parental reactions can deeply impact a child's self-esteem, and why it's crucial to model self-compassion. Whether you're a parent, educator, or just a kid at heart, this episode is a delightful reminder that perfection is overrated. So grab a taco, get cozy, and get ready to celebrate your inner "MISTACO"! We also have a fun time speaking with Brenda Do, author of It's OK Not To Know. Brenda shared how the inspiration for the book came from observing her young nephew's hard reaction to making a mistake. This led her to explore the important lesson of embracing failure and uncertainty as a path to growth. Brenda emphasized the need to teach self-compassion to children, rather than pushing them to be perfect. She drew parallels to her own upbringing in the Asian-American community, where mistakes were often harshly judged. Brenda's book aims to celebrate curiosity and the freedom to not have all the answers - a message that resonates for readers of all ages. Jed and Brenda's discussion highlighted the power of using children's literature to promote empathy, resilience and the joy of learning.

Mary Blair was hugely influential in the artistic direction of the Walt Disney Company from the "Three Caballeros" to "It's A Small World."  At a time when women weren't put in positions of influence, Blair not only made her mark in the mid-20th Century; but also has had appreciation for her art only grow in the subsequent decades.  This week, Rick and Sarah Says will go in-depth into Mary Blair, and the different places where she left her mark on the Walt Disney Company.

Prasansook "Fawn" Veerasunthorn is a Thai film director and animator. She worked as a storyboard artist on the Disney Animation films Frozen, Moana, and Zootopia and as head of story on Raya and the Last Dragon. Her first feature film was Disney's Wish, in collaboration with Chris Buck. This episode delves into Fawn's transformative journey upon relocating to the US, navigating the hurdles of language barriers and cultural disparities. Despite these challenges, she found solace and purpose in her passion for art, propelling her forward on the path to becoming an animator and director for Disney projects. Fawn Veerasunthorn, born in Chonburi Province, Thailand, found her calling in art from a young age, inspired by the magic of Disney's "Dumbo," particularly the work of Mary Blair. After attending Triam Udom Suksa School in Bangkok, Fawn pursued medicine at Mahidol University but soon realized her true passion lay in fine arts. Encouraged by animator Paitoon Ratanasiritrawoot, she made the bold decision to move to the United States and study at the Columbus College of Art and Design. Upon graduating in 2004, Fawn embarked on a remarkable journey in the animation industry, working at esteemed studios such as 6 Point Harness, Warner Bros. Animation, Nickelodeon Animation Studios, and Illumination. Her talent as a story artist shone through in projects like "The Lorax" and "Despicable Me 2." In 2011, Fawn joined Walt Disney Animation Studios, contributing her skills to blockbuster hits like "Frozen," "Moana," and "Zootopia." Her exceptional work led to her promotion as head of Disney's animation department and her pivotal role as head of story on "Raya and the Last Dragon." Fawn's achievements reached new heights when she was appointed as co-director of Disney's upcoming film "Wish," making history as the first Thai artist to helm a Disney animated feature. Her contributions to the industry have been recognized by both Disney and the Government of Thailand, solidifying her legacy as a trailblazer in animation.    

This week, Kristen joins Jeff to talk about the recent "Marc and Alice Davis Archives" auction hosted by Heritage Auctions. We talk about the first time we met Alice Davis back in 2011, and share our memories of touring her home gallery featuring all of Marc's art, and her relationship with Mary Blair - and then we talk about our successes during the auction, and share some of the history of the eight pieces that we won. Plus - Hayley Mills will hit the big screen again; the cast of Bambi gathered recently in Sacramento, and more.

As my pencil danced across the page, transforming the iconic Jake from State Farm into a whimsical wizard, a spark of creativity ignited a heartwarming discourse on the muses that shape our art. You're cordially invited to a celebration of imagination where I pay homage to the wondrous creatures of William Holbrook Beard and the daring palettes of Disney's Mary Blair. Their legacies embolden my work, and I eagerly share how these artistic giants encourage us to weave magic into our own canvases. Join us on a journey through cherished inspirations and the quest to find that unique spark that fuels your creative fire.Wrapped in the warmth of the holiday season, this episode is a gift of reflection and anticipation—tender stories of art shows past and the innocent zeal of a young entrepreneur's curiosity interweave with personal anecdotes. And as the year draws to a close, I extend a heartfelt wish for joyous festivities and tease the grand finale of our year's creative narrative. So here's to celebrating artistic legacies, cherishing the new generation of dreamers, and the promise of one last gathering under the glow of our metaphorical Christmas tree before we bid adieu to another year rich with artistry.My Jake from State Farm as a Wizard doodle is on YouTube and my reference links:My William Holbrook Beard Pinterest BoardMy Mary Engelbreit Pinterest BoardMary Blair's Unique Flair read aloud from YouTube Brittney LeeSupport the showCatch the doodles on YouTubeMy socials:Sign up for my monthly newsletterPortfolio website: Brewtifully.comInstagram: /BrewtifullyFacebook: /brewtifullyTikTok: GettingSmallwithGrandmaLinkedIn: Tracy Dawn Brewer

Can you almost smell the sweet scent of gingerbread wafting through the grand lobby of the Grand Floridian? That's right, we're taking you on a virtual journey through the magical holiday display at one of Disney's most iconic resorts. Picture this: a life-size gingerbread house, meticulously crafted with 10,000 pieces of gingerbread, an 85-pound chocolate Santa, and over 500 hours of baking and decorating. A piano player adds to the enchanting ambiance, and you can even purchase delicious treats like gingerbread cookies and marshmallow pops. But the festive cheer doesn't stop at the Grand Floridian. Imagine resort-hopping from the Polynesian, with its unique tiki-inspired Christmas display, to the Contemporary's Mary Blair-inspired castle decoration. We've also got insider information on the special holiday treats and drinks available at each resort.   And if you've ever dreamed of spending Christmas at Wilderness Lodge or Animal Kingdom Lodge, you'll want to hear our thoughts on these beautifully decorated resorts. Finally, we're sharing our listeners' favorite Disney resorts during the Christmas season and revealing some of the charming displays at Fort Wilderness. We also have a surprise for you - we're giving away a free sticker to one lucky listener who leaves a review with the keyword "merch." So, get your hot cocoa ready as we embark on this magical journey through the most festive Walt Disney World resorts. We can't wait to bring some holiday magic straight to your ears.Please check out our links below:Our Sponsor:www.mainstreettravelco.comSupport the show:https://www.buzzsprout.com/1832566/supportEmail Us:circleofparks@gmail.comOur Website:www.circleofparks.comFacebook:www.facebook.com/circleofparksInstagram:www.instagram.com/circleofparksX:www.x.com/circleofparksSupport the show

News: The Adventureland Treehouse will open later this week to the public, but Disney released a preview of the reimagined attraction online last week. The video shows the father's painting area which is wheelchair accessible and allows guests who cannot climb steps to experience the different rooms. The animatronics, audio, and overall asthetic looks amazing. – https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/videos/full-tour-adventureland-treehouse-at-night-disneyland-resort/ https://www.micechat.com/338868-breaking-news-disneylands-new-adventureland-treehouse-revealed/ The new bar at the Villas at the Disneyland Resort has opened to guests. The Palm Breeze Bar is colorful and fun, reminiscent of Mary Blair's designs. The food has been reported as very good, however it is on the pricier side. This could explain why a new location like this isn't as busy as other similar locations that have drawn much bigger crowds. – https://www.micechat.com/372173-disneyland-update-treehouse-triumph-jungle-turbulence-toontown-turmoil/ With the Holiday season starting this week, the Christmas tree on Main Street has been installed. The tree towers 60 feet tall and is covered with more than 1,800 ornaments. – https://dlnewstoday.com/2023/11/photos-christmas-tree-arrives-on-main-street-u-s-a-at-disneyland-park-for-2023-holiday-season/ With the Holidays starting this week, there is a Holiday Foodie Guide that the Disney Parks Blog released. – https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2023/11/disney-eats-foodie-guide-to-holidays-at-disneyland-resort-2023/ In addition the the regular holiday food, there is also the Festival of the Holidays Foodie Guide! {talk about the food} Maybe mention the new food segment coming in the new year? – https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2023/11/disney-eats-foodie-guide-to-disney-festival-of-holidays-2023-at-disneyland-resort/ Of course there is a TON of new holiday merch that has arrived ahead of the official holiday season this week. From ears, to spirit jerseys and everything in-between, there is truly something for everyone. – https://www.micechat.com/369082-disneyland-holiday-merchandise-2023/ A new character from the upcoming Disney movie Wish is going to be meeting and greeting at the resort soon. On November 22nd, the day of the movie premiere, she will be in front of the Royal Hall in Fantasyland. It isn't clear if she will be around beyond the one day, but we will update you once we know. – https://dlnewstoday.com/2023/11/asha-from-wish-arriving-at-disneyland-resort-on-november-22/ There is trouble on the waterways of the Jungle Cruise. The attraction closed abruptly last week and was closed through the weekend. Scrims have gone up around the tiger area that can be seen from the exterior portion of the Indy queue. Micechat reports that the rockwork by the tiger was crumbling and in need of repair. The attraction will hopefully reopen with this section behind scrims. – https://www.micechat.com/372173-disneyland-update-treehouse-triumph-jungle-turbulence-toontown-turmoil/ As we reported on previously, part of Toontown have come out from behind construction walls. The fountain is the only section that was previously closed to guests that is still unavailable, and the walls moved around Goofy's How to Play Yard, and Donald's Duck Pond. November 11th should be the last day for all walls in Toontown, unless the schedule slips. – https://www.micechat.com/372173-disneyland-update-treehouse-triumph-jungle-turbulence-toontown-turmoil/ January 7th will mark the end of Tail of the Lion King in the Fantasyland Theatre. The show ran for a little under two years, and wasn't as flashy as other shows that used this venue, but it was still a very well done, lively show. – https://www.micechat.com/372173-disneyland-update-treehouse-triumph-jungle-turbulence-toontown-turmoil/ Discussion Topic: Adventure by Disney Trip with Josey https://www.adventuresbydisney.com/destinations/around-the-world/global-jet-adventures/ This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Why do all the characters in Phantom Canyon look so familiar? In this episode of Distory, we mosey on into the town of Phantom Canyon where playful spooks are having a (western-themed) swinging wake. As we inch through this fascinating alternative to the Haunted Mansion graveyard scene, we compare Marc Davis's and Mary Blair's original concept art for Western River Expedition to what made it into Phantom Manor, find some familiar faces, and discover stories from Victorian literature that inspired this spooky netherworld. After telling a few ghost stories of our own and flying through the vortex, we escape the manor only to find ourselves in Boot Hill cemetery, which has its own sordid history laced with scandal and mystery.
