Detailed Timeline on Walt Disney

Post by Lzcutter »

I spent a good chunk of last year project managing this detailed timeline of Walt Disney. I also created the majority of the video and audio clips that are part of the timeline. It was supposed to launch with the Museum's new website earlier this summer but software problems put a snag in that.

But it has launched now and can be found here:

I hope you will check it out and let me know what you think. In the months ahead, more episodes (and audio and video) will be added!

Lynn, you must be so proud of yourself (you should be!). I love the older photos, the commentaries and the early drawings shown best, but all that I saw was terrific. Congratulations.

Did you have anything to do with the interviews with individuals such as Disney family members and Bob Thomas (he's one of the most even-handed writers on Hollywood I've ever read)?
