We stayed the whole night and it stands out to me from all my past trips as it was something different.” Chandlar said: “Being in Disneyland for the first time in over 30 years. Looking at Walt's Apartment gave me all the feels.” Sheila said: “Our first trip with the Ellis family; especially the desert party at the end of the trip.

I thought it was an adults only vacation! I was so pleasantly surprised and shocked to see them!” Feature Topic: The Golden Age of Disney Feature Films! Mike: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) Release date: December 21, 1937, February 4, 1938 (Wide Release) Snow White was the first full-length cell-animated feature film and Disney’s first animated feature. This film established Walt Disney as a major film producer! Producer: Walt Disney Notable Disney Legends that worked on the film: Les Clark Marc Davis Eric Larson John Lounsbery Woolie Reitherman Art Babbitt Ham Luske Norm Ferguson Wilfred Jackson Quote: Seven Dwarfs, Seven Personalities When Walt proposed a full-length motion picture based on Grimm's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, he knew that the key to a compelling story was believable, sympathetic characters. "The seven dwarfs were naturals for the medium." Walt explained. "In them, we could instill boundless humor, not only as to their physical appearances, but in their mannerisms, personalities, voices and actions." Sophie’s Input: Goddess of Spring (1934) This 9-minute short was an integral part of the development of Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs, acting as practice for the Animators in the rotoscoping technique and drawing realistically-proportioned figures.
