In this episode of Walt Disney Disneyland which originally aired February 13, 1957, Walt takes us on a behind-the-scenes look at how animation is created.   He discusses and demonstrates how his artists study real life to recreate and embellish it on the screen.  Walt shows everything from footage of a portly comedic dancer to learn not only the movement of the body but the clothing as well, to ultra-slow-motion footage of bubbling mud and drops of water to create believable effects animation.  He also gives us a demonstration of the multiplane camera. The final segment explains how Disney animators would use actors and dancers to help them interpret movement and breathe life into their characters.   This video does NOT include some of the movie clips included in the original telecast.

Disney California Adventure | Disneyland Christmas | Blue13 Dance Company | Diwali | Bollywood

The spirited performers of the Bluer13 Dance Company turn up the fun with traditional dances that celebrate Diwali and build to a Bollywood party for all. Blue13 Dance Company is an American dance ensemble based in Los Angeles, California. For over 15 years, Blue13 has connected audiences through the power of live, aesthetically and culturally daring dance, performing in the U.S. and abroad in its highly energetic and theatrical modern dance style that is inspired in part by classical and cultural art forms of the Indian subcontinent. A first-generation South Asian American, Blue13’s Artistic Director, Achinta S. McDaniel pulls precision, humor, and deep emotion from her ensemble to create work as rebellious and unconventional as its architect. Storytelling through dance is central to the company, as is a continued inquisitiveness and exploration of techniques with its diverse cast of dancers. Their work is moody, rhythmic, and charged, presenting the audience with an intelligent experience of performance that turns the cultural stereotype of both Indian dance and American contemporary dance on its head.

Disneyland Dapper Dans | Disneyland Holiday | Disneyland Christmas | Walt Disney World | 2021 | 2022

During the holidays, the Dapper Dans take on a whole new level of entertainment and charm. There is something magical about Disneyland itself during the holidays. Disneyland Town Square is in the center of that charm. A horse-drawn trolley approaching via Main Street USA, the lighting of the Christmas tree, or maybe knowing that you’re standing in the shadow of Walt’s apartment just above the Disneyland Fire Station. This Performance is from December 29th, 2021, part of the Disneyland Holiday Celebration.
