The Animation Research Library Conserves Walt Disney Animation Studios Artistic Heritage
Last month I had a chance to to visit the Animation Research Library (ARL), formerly known as the Studio Morgue. The ARL is entrusted to conserve and protect the artistic heritage of Walt Disney Animation Studios and to ensure the ability of the Walt Disney Company to utilize the collection, “in-house,” as a resource of creative inspiration, brand enhancement, and product development. I was so excited to meet JB Kaufman, film historian and author of several books including PINCOCCHIO The Making of the Disney Epic (see giveaway below!).

I’m well stocked with Usborne sticker books, wipe-clean flash cards, and learn-to-draw books. Here are a…

Inspirational Mom :: Nadine Bubeck of All Things Mama
A few weeks back while looking at the Disney On The Road Agenda, I read about one of our keynote speakers for the event, Nadine Bubeck, and was impressed with all that she has accomplished as a mom, wife, TV personality, host, speaker, blogger, and author.
