Disney film won't make for pleasant Cruise
Many years ago, Disney World retired one of my favorite rides, "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea."
It used state-of-the-art special effects like bubbles to convince people that they were in a submarine that was diving many feet below the ocean's surface where terrible and wonderful things were happening, most of them involving mannequins dressed as divers.

Don Dunagan was voice of Bambi in Walt Disney film
Disney's "Bambi" will be turning 70 next year. The film wasn't a hit when it was released, but of course it's now considered a classic. And it still works wonders, even in a pixelated world, because of the beauty of the hand-drawn animation and the simplicity of the storytelling. Through images and very few words we follow Bambi's first footsteps, his first encounters with the natural world, his first friendships, his first experience with loss, his first love.
