I used to feel there was something odd about how everything looked in the "PEOP" sequence. Good to have an answer to that now. That was a really neat idea.

I'm surprised it's taken this long.

Should have been much sooner. Glad to see Dumbo getting the treatment it deserves though!

Apparently TLK and Who Framed Roger Rabbit? were inducted last year. I'm sure that was posted here, but I just forgot about it. So all of Walt's first 5 features are now on the NFR. :)

Of course, they've put out many great animated films that could be included, but I hope at least The Little Mermaid, Lady and the Tramp, One Hundred and One Dalmatians, and The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (or one or more of the individual shorts that the film is composed of) make it onto the list someday.

So eventually Dinsey's employees did become members of the Screen Cartoonists Guild? And Walt Disney paid them $25,000 for wage adjustments...which I don't know what that is?
