Backtracking last week’s This Week, we’re gonna instead do a double feature!
Our stops on Tuesday and Thursday will be Cinderella and Alice in Wonderland, respectively.
Sign up for updates on the right!
A happy Thursday to all!
I know I promised two articles this week, including our first foray past the package films, but unfortunately there were some circumstances that kept me from doing those.
Don’t worry though! To stay on schedule, we will do a double feature next week. Then the week after will see my article on Mary Blair.
Thanks for your patience!
We’re done with package films!
We and the Disney studios are putting behind us the war and heading towards single-narrative features. This Thursday will see the stop at number 12: Cinderella!
But first, Notes On… will return on Tuesday with a profile on Disney Legend Mary Blair. She will be a huge influence at Disney for a long time, and she starts here, with this week’s film.
Since I’m in such a good mood and very excited for the next film, I thought I would share with you one more thing. Disney recently began releasing brand-new Mickey Mouse cartoons! Their first one, linked here features a little cameo appearance by a certain princess. Check it out, it’s very cute!
That’s it for This Week. Like always, subscribe on the left!
