Ok, I'm a 31 year old native of Maryland. The very first movie that my parents took me to see was the Apple Dumpling Gang, so it was clear from the very beginning that I would be a Disney fanatic. My love for Disney grew through the late 70s and early 80s through the likes of the Rescuers and the Fox and the Hound as well as rereleases of some of the classics from the 40s and 50s.
My interest in the mid 80s as I got to an age where Disney was no longer cool.
Then came Beauty and the Beast -- I went to see the movie on a date. The date fizzled, but the movie absolutely captivated me. It's in fact now tied for my favorite of all time. I met the woman who is now my wife a year or so later, and we had our first child in 1994. That solidified it.
I started collecting Disney movies using the thinly vieled excuse that I was doing it for our new son (and our daughter who later followed). Who was I kidding? I'm the Disney nut of the family!
We now visit Disneyworld yearly, collect every new Disney release, and love that Happiest Place on Earth that is the Magical World of Disney.

I'm actually not going here for any of those things...but for creative writing. LOL. Hey, I like Indiana's basketball team! I wanted them to win the title two years back. I guess I don't feel the heated rivalry as much as others do. A lot of my family have gone to Purdue in the past...but a few have gone to IU, so...I'll behave. I promise.indianajdp wrote:Dammit LUKE!

[Edited to say as much as I hate Purdue I do understand folks going there for aeronautics, engineering or veterinary studies...although I'd rather send my daughter to Auburn]

Hey everyone! I found this site through a link a few weeks back, and after reading through several threads(including all of this one), I decided to join and share my Disney story.
Fist off, I am a 20 year old guy who attends the University of Georgia where I plan to major in Film Studies(one more semester and I will have enough hours to get into the major!). To the extent of my memory, I have been a Disney fan all my life.
I've seen pictures of me wearing Mickey bibs and Pooh pajamas as an infant.
I have always loved movies, especially Disney movies. The first films I can remember seeing in theaters were Disney. When "Song of the South" was released in US theatres for the last time in 1986, I can remember my grandma taking me to see it. I was 3. I clearly remember seeing the 1987 release of Snow White in theatres as well(I saw it again in 1993 before owning the video and now the DVD).
I think it was Christmas 87( or 88) when my older sister and I got our first videos. We got four between parents, grandparents, and Santa. Two were Disney. These were Cinderella and Lady and the Tramp.
I grew up in what I think was a great period to be a "Disney kid" as most of the classics were being released on VHS, the Disney Afternoon line-up took off, and when I was 6, the new renaissance began with The Little Mermaid.
It was always a family event to go see new Disny movies when they opened. As a young kid, these are the only films I remember ever seeing in theaters. My parents would get us the Happy Meals, story books, toys, and eventually the videos of each new film. Throughout elementary school, I had a subscription to Disney Adventures. I LOVED Disney.
I went to Disney World for the first time in 88, and celebrated Mickey's 50th birthday. I've returned several times, including the 25th anniversary and Star Wars weekends. I'm looking into to doing an internship through the Disney College program.
By middle school, I was a full blown film fanatic with my areas of expertise
in Star Wars and Disney animation. I set out to own all of the full-length animated features. I accomplished this by mid-high school(I am now in the slow and expensive, for a poor college kid anyway, process of replacing them with DVD). I saw Toy Story in 95 and fell in love. I adore Pixar and all it does. Buzz, Dory, and Sully are some of my all time favorite characters ever(not just Disney).
I'm still a Disney fanatic. When I graduated hihg school in 2002, I discovered an old man in my church was one too when he gave me copies of some unreleased Disney stuff that he somehow had, including my most prized VHS copy of "Song of the South," the film that started it all for me. (an interesting aside, I currently live in Athens which is less than an hour from Eatonton, the home of Joel Chandler Harris, and in the next week or so, I am planning a trip to the Uncle Remus museum there).
I still wathc Disney films all the time. I'm watching Disney cartoon as I type this. I even ate a Brother Bear Happy Meal for dinner tonight( I have yet to see the film, I plan to see it Monday after I finish midterms).
I realize this is getting rahter long, but it has kept me from having to study for all of my tests I have this week. Thanks for allowing me to share and for sharing all of your stories with me. I look forward to posting more in the future.

Here's a hint:
Up to buy, Katie buys a kitchen-size, but not me in
Setting trap for the big kill, waste o' time, sitting still
Got it yet? Here's one more:
There's the progress we have found
A way to talk around the problem
Building towered foresight
isn't anything at all
Buy the sky and sell the sky and bleed the sky and tell the sky

Okay. I finally have some time to post my Disney story. As you recall, I'm canon, and I am an animator living in Atlanta, GA with a wife and a 3 year-old daughter. Here's my (somewhat) brief story:
I grew up watching Disney films in the theatre during the 70's and I distinctly remember loving Jungle Book and Mary Poppins. Later on, I remember seeing Fantasia. My mom was a classical music lover and she thought that that film was a great introduction to that music form for me and my sister and we both developed a great appreciation for it. At home, I remember playing records of Mary Poppins, Peter Pan, Jungle Book, and just simply loved those songs. Played them over and over again.
On TV, it was Wonderful World of Disney on Sunday nights. That and Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom. Walt Disney WAS my uncle. Didn't he just seem like that to you? Just loved to hear his voice explain the latest film, cartoon, amusement park, etc. I remember watching Winnie the Pooh at this time.
In grade 9, I made an animated short for my career planning class. I always drew cartoon characters and had a jonesin for animation, but never really dove head-first into that profession until college.
1988 came and Who Framed Roger Rabbit? was a big hit. I loved that film. It showed me that cartoons are cool and not kiddy-stuff and soon I was thinking about my first-love again: animation. The following year The Little Mermaid came out and again, I was astounded that all types of people were going to a "cartoon" feature. I loved that my friends would talk about that movie without thinking twice that it was animated (animation was considered kiddy-fare for most of the 80's). That year, a friend of mine had a book, Frank and Ollie's Disney Animation: The Illusion of Life. I opened that book and it was all over for me. Between that book and frame-by-framing The Little Mermaid, I knew I needed to scratch that animation itch!
So I took a couple of animation classes at Georgia State Univ. in Atlanta (couldn't afford an art school tuition), majored in Illustration, but focused my portfolio on animation, and walked up to a local design/animation company and got an internship. That was Jan. of '96. By October, I had a full-time job as an animator for Click 3X.
In 2000, another local animation company, Primal Screen, called me and wanted me to be their newest animation director. With a 20K pay hike and a baby on the way, how could i say no? It was a dream come true. And I've been animating ever since here at Primal. I love it here. It's been a blast, and I plan on staying for as long as they'll take me.
I did have starry dreams of working for Disney, especially during the mid-90's, during the heyday--but it just would've been too much for me to uproot and move. I was married and sometimes you have to think that it's not just about you, but you would be moving TWO people. My wife had a great job here and I just couldn't see us living in CA. Looks like it was a good decision, though.
In 1997, I had the greatest opportunity to visit Disney. A fellow animator friend of mine's father was a supervising animator there and I was able to do a tour of the North Building in Glendale. There, I got to flip a couple of drawings of the Great Elk in the Firebird Suite section of Fantasia 2000. At the time, it was dubbed, Fantasia Continued. I got to walk around and see cool conceptual artwork of Fantasia 2000 and see how these guys worked. Amazing place. They had to mop me off the floor after that visit. I was in heaven. I got to walk around the Disney lot, too. Put my hands in the prints of Frank, Ollie, Ward, etc. in the concrete in front of the old animation building. Simply wonderful. A must see.
That's my story. Any thoughts? Would love to hear more from you guys.

My Disney story is a long one. I recently started checking this message board a few days ago when the delay news on ultimatedisney.com appeared about the Walt Disney Treasures DVD sets Wave 3. I first wrote messages on the Disney message board of the Encyclopedia of Disney Shorts, which was then (a couple of years ago) on teemings.com. I currently occasionally leave messages on the laughingplace.com message board.
I am 54 years old. Some of my earliest memories are seeing Disney animated films at the theaters on first release or rerelease of the earlier classics. The Disney anthology show "Disneyland" of the mid to late 1950s(and all the later title and network changes thru the years) introduced the Disney cartoons to me, as well as those I saw as shorts at the movies. I have enjoyed much of the Disney live-action films and TV shows over the decades, but Disney's animation has always been my main interest.
When I was young, even into young adulthood, my main hobby goal was to "somehow" own a theater and be able to watch all the Disney animated films and cartoons whenever I wanted. Of course, the much later (for me) VCR, laserdisc, and DVD technology has enabled me to "own my own theater".
Before VCRs, I collected the 8mm films of the shortened cartoons. One of my nicest early hobby surprises was buying a short segment of a Disney live-action film (I think it was supposed to be Treasure Island) and discovering that the contents was much of the Monstro scene from Pinocchio...and in full color!!!
I subscribed to the Disney Channel in August 1983 - the earliest my local cable company offered it. I wore out numerous VCRs over the past 2 decades taping everything Disney of interest.
I bought just about every Disney video released when Disney started releasing them for sale in the early 1980s, but my favorite videos continued to be the animated classics and the cartoon collections. One of my fondest Disney hobby memories is buying and playing the Pinocchio video for the first time.
From the first day of the Disney Channel through the late 1990s, I could honestly say that I watched something Disney almost every day.
I began keeping lists in the early 1980s of Disney history that was important to me - goofs I discovered in various Disney animated and live-action films (such as the missing wheel spoke that wasn't missing earlier in the cartoon "The Old Mill" and the "Star Trek beaming" baby raccoon in the film "Bambi") and Disney censorship that I discovered once the Disney Channel started censoring their content in the 1986 or so period.
In the early 1990s, I wrote and had published articles based on my Disney history lists. I created an index to the magazine "The 'E' Ticket" and shared it with the publishers and over 100 of their readers over a period of a few years in the mid to late 1990s. I contributed to Dave Smith's updated Disney A to Z encyclopedia book (most of the cartoon description corrections are my contributions) and to Bill Cotter's Wonderful World of Disney Television book.
Through my writings and contact with Disney fans through the index, I was able to trade video with numerous Disney animation fans so that I now have - with just one or two very rare exceptions - all the Disney animation that I am interested in. For example, the early silent era of the Disney animation never interested me that much - so I never kept those shorts when I came across them. Most of the Disney television animation did not interest me. But the Disney animated films, animation/live-action films (such as Mary Poppins), and the Disney theatrical cartoons have never failed to entertain, educate, and amaze me.
My Disney video hobby has not always been all joy. The Disney Corporation has made many decisions adversely affecting their product and their fans over the years that I have strongly disagreed with. I do not believe that the Disney Corporation listens to their fans, but I have always made my opinions known to Disney with letters, phone calls, and e-mails. And I will continue to do so.
This latest probable delay of the Wave 3 Walt Disney Treasures DVD sets has angered and saddened me. I still hope it is a misunderstanding, but it is consistent with other poor decisions affecting Disney fans over the decades.
But whatever poor decisions (in my opinion) Disney has made over the years, I still try to remember how seriously poorer my hobby life would have been if not for all those wonderful Disney works - even though I have several other hobby interests.
Recent years, my Disney hobby is no longer so all-consuming. My interest slowed down once I had collected all the video I felt that I would find. I have watched the Disney animated films and cartoons hundreds of times (at least) over the years so - of course - the "rush" of watching them for the first time is long gone. But I still can enjoy the quality of the animation, story, special effects, background art, and animator/voice acting of these treasures for as long as I live. I still do enjoy the new animated films that are released and have much enjoyed the works that the PIXAR/Disney association have been able to release.
That is probably more information than most of you are interested in. But that is MY DISNEY STORY.

I'm sure you have. I've done some work for Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, PBS Kids, TNT. If you check out my "www" it will take you to Primal Screen's website. Once there, check out the gallery. I designed and animated the SLAM! kid on the first page, animated and directed the Imagination and Reading ID's for PBS Kids on some of the other pages. There is more that I've done, but not posted. We are in the process of redesigning the site and there will be so much more for you to check out. It'll be fun.indianajdp wrote:Canon that's a great bio. Nice to read that some folks are able to follow their dreams from such a young age and see it though to fruition. Would we know of any of your work??
I animated Charles Barkley for the opening to his show last year, Listen Up! on TNT. I got to meet him later on--what a trip! He's a good guy, by the way.
Look out in December for some work I did for Oxygen, that mostly-women channel that Oprah owns. I did caricatures of Oprah, Ellen, Carrie Fisher, etc. and had them animate for some year-end special on the channel.
And-- great story, Jerry. Very fascinating to hear. I get a little peeved about the censoring issue, myself. It'd be very interesting to see what all you have in your library.

I retired from video trading a year ago, although I'm still waiting on one trade partner to fulfill his obligation - almost a year overdue.
My main collection is the Disney and PIXAR animated films and shorts and the Walt Disney years of the Disney anthology TV show - mainly the TV shows with animation.
It would be quicker to list what I don't have and want - mainly John Lassiter's student animation Nite-Mare (spelling?) and the Disney 1982 Special short Fun With Mr. Future. I basically have all the theatrical Pixar and theatrical Disney cartoons from the first Mickey Mouse. In addition, I have many educational and commercial shorts done by Disney. I own most of the World War II era work - the probable contents of the Front Lines DVD set only has a couple of the Latin America educational shorts that I don't have.
I basically had everything on the Walt Disney Treasures DVD sets through Wave 3 before they were released. But I love having the works packaged together with the same theme and with DVD quality. I have been deleting the cartoons from my videos after receiving them on DVD because I know I will never watch the cartoons, TV shows, and films on video again once I have them on DVD.
I still love Disney's work but watched so much of it for so many years that I don't watch it much nowadays. But I do have it for when I want to watch it and still occasionally find time to watch some of it. I have numerous Disney favorites - probably too numerous to list. The Disney cartoons Hell's Bells, Mickey's Mellerdrammer, Band Concert, and the two versions of The Ugly Duckling are among my top favorites. The Disney TV shows The Great Cat Family and The Plausible Impossible are among my top favorites of the TV shows.
Hope this answers your question.

My DisneyStory
Hi Everyone,
My name is Grant and I'm new to this group. I thought since the new people are sharing their story about how they love disney so will I. In 6th grade I went up to Washington every other month with my church. My friends would bring there Disney Cds and we would listen all the way up and back every time. Thats when I fell in love with the songs. Since then I have bought Disney DVDs and Disney Cds. I've made my own Disney Cd with the songs I like and I have lots of songs memorized though from them. I love all the antimated Disney movies and love the Old Black and White Mickey Mouse cartoons. Now I'm 15 in the 9th grade an all my friends think I should go on Disney Jepordy, is there such a thing? I have
64 Disney DVDs that I bought with my own money and all are mine so I'm proud . I'm really glad I found this website I can now talk to people who love Disney as much as I do. Thanks for listening and looking forward to getting to meet some of you
