Original Release: November 1946 Runtime: 94 Minutes Directed By: Harve Foster & Wilfred Jackson I’m sure there are more peaceful and less controversial films to start a new series with but when looking through the chronological order of all Disney films, I was struck by Song of the […]
For any of you who have been following my Vault Disney series, you will know that I have just reached the end of the first ten films. Since starting this project I have been showered with surprises. I’ve been surprised at just how many of these films I’ve […]
Original Release: May 1948 Runtime: 75 Minutes Here we are, at the end of the package film era of Disney, and all I can say is, “Thank goodness.” In the 1940’s Walt Disney Studios created package films, which were collections of several short films made into one feature, […]

Original Release: October 1941 Runtime: 64 minutes Jim Korkis, an excellent writer on all things Disney, mentions in his book that “Every Disney movie is someone’s favorite Disney movie.” (The Revised Vault of Walt: Unofficial, Unauthorized, Uncensored Disney Stories Never Told) And as I watch these movies in […]
Original Release: November 1940 Runtime: 126 minutes Even by today’s standards, Fantasia, stands as a huge experimental piece of media. There is nothing else quite like it (Unless you count its follow-up Fantasia 2000). As Deems Taylor, the master of ceremonies in the film, says early on, Fantasia […]
