This is true and is an anecdote which was retold in a book by one of Disney's "old men". If anyone is interested, I will pull out my reference books and try to find out which one said it. I've been told there are actual pictures of these "celebrations" of the completion of a film, but I have yet to see one. Some other things were also done with Disney's cels. . . When the parks first opened (at least, when Disneyland opened - I'm not completely sure this is true for Disneyworld), the cels were handed out to the children as free give-aways. During the war years (WWII), cels were washed off and reused to conserve materials. I found out about this as I attempted to find a cel of the character "Honest John" from Pinocchio. (He's the fox who led Pinocchio off to Stromboli, for anyone not up on their Disney. ^_^) Sadly for me, Pinocchio was released in 1940 or 1941 - I can't remember - and most of it's cels suffered this second fate. Many Sharp Smiles, --Drac (who adores Disney almost as much as anime ^_-) |
