Where the Wild Things Are - now

The Disney Family Museum in San Francisco is hosting an exhibition of works by Maurice Sendak. This posting at MiceChat.com talks about the exhibit titled  "Maurice Sendak: 50 Years, 50 works, 50 reasons".

Though the primary focus of the Walt Disney Family Museum is to showcase the life of Walt Disney, the institution frequently presents exhibitions with a much wider scope. Maurice Sendak: 50 Years, 50 Works, 50 Reasons extensively covers the work of Maurice Sendak, one of America’s most beloved children’s book authors.

Immediately recognized in the exhibit is Disney’s influence on Sendak, this is a Disney museum, after all. For those who are unfamiliar Sendak’s life outside of his writing, it may come as a surprise to learn that he was fanatical collector of Mickey Mouse and other Disney merchandise, there were even a few drawings on display of Mickey Mouse by Sendak.

If you're going to San Francsico be sure to wear some flow...no wait...be sure to visit the Disney Family Museum in the Presidio.

Roy E. Disney 1930-2009

It is a sad day in the Disney family to which we all belong to. Roy E. Disney, nephew of Walt, passed away today.

Most of us view him as the person holding onto the standards set by Walt, especially since he represented the Disney family within the company for so many years. Of course, his battles with Michael Eisner were legendary, and his efforts contributed to the downfall of the Eisner regime.

Thank you, Roy.
