"The Little Mermaid won two Academy Awards: Best Original Score, by Alan Menken; and Best Original Song, 'Under the Sea' with lyrics by Howard Ashman, and music by Alan Menken. The duo's next collaboration (another Oscar winner) was Beauty and the Beast."
For some reason, I didn't know that! Lol! Granted it is my favorite song from the movie so it makes sense! I guess I just thought Beauty and the Beast was the first Oscar winner.

"One night, in late 1934, Walt Disney gathered his animation team together and he acted out Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. He played all the parts--humans and animals alike--and the animators were spellbound. They would speak of it, with awe, for the rest of their lives."
I can't remember if I knew this one or not. But just wow! I guess when asked if you could go back in time and see/experience/live any moment, I'd want to go back to this moment!
Oh man, I would love to be a fly on the wall back in 1934 so that I could witness Walt doing that! How magical :) And I never knew this! Thank you so much for sharing, Jessica :D

Walt Disney was the man, that's for sure.

I knew that Snow White fact from that 2-part PBS special they did on him last year. It's so obvious that he was ADHD now that I look back.
ReplyDeleteWalt Disney had such talent. Love Under the Sea!
