Yesterday, I was privileged to be invited to the Disney Animation Research Library in Los Angeles. For me, this was nearly a dream come true; I’m such a Disney nut and to see some of the rare artifacts we were shown was incredible. I was among about only ten people who got this opportunity, and boy did I take advantage! Not only did I take nearly 150 pictures, but I got to see some of the first drawings of Snow White, Bambi, and Lady and the Tramp....

The Good This show certainly lost something when James Evans, Sr. “departed,” but I still enjoyed what they tried to do with it. The Bad No special features came with this DVD set. Norman Lear was truly gifted. He had a way of creating shows that showed things within the culture that we knew were there, but sadly, they didn’t find there way on to TV until Lear had the guts (and the pull) to get them on there....

The Good Despite some shortcomings this film speaks to everyone.
