Jim Fanning's Tulgey Wood TV: Disney's 50 Happy Years Celebration
by Jim Fanning
Note: "Jim Fanning's Tulgey Wood TV" is an ongoing video series from writer and historian Jim Fanning featuring fun and informative glimpses into movies, TV, comics, animation, theme parks, books and magazines, memorabilia and more. For past videos, check out Jim's YouTube Channel. Starting this week, you can view new episodes on Communerdy as well! Thank you for sharing your collection and expertise with your fellow nerds, Jim!
Disney celebrated its golden anniversary in 1973, and I take a look at some of the events and some of the artifacts of that year-long celebration. Hope this glimpse at this historic celebration (itself celebrating Disney's history, 1923-1973) will make you happy in at least 50 ways.
Discover more about the 50 Happy Years campaign in the article I wrote for D23.com!
