Books About Disney

disney-bookI found a gem at a recent library book sale in my area. The Story of Walt Disney by Diane Disney Miller (Walt Disney’s daughter). It’s a biography up through 1957, which is when the book was published.

Much of the book is quotes from Walt Disney himself about his work. Lots of great quotes, like one where we are told that Disney abhorred the mindset of, “It was a success, so let’s do it again.” Great! Read More »

We Know What We’re Doing!

It’s been awhile, hasn’t it?

In the last post, I left you wondering what we’d be doing in November. We didn’t know ourselves, really.

That’s changed. We are now planning on shooting a trailer for one of our favorite books. This is something we’re really excited about. Perhaps we’ll post some photos from the shoot and let you guess which book!

Plus, while we’re all together in November, we plan on discussing another interesting idea. No details on that one yet, but maybe you’ll get to hear some later.

Exciting New Projects

At this point, our sci-fi script is on hold while we take an indefinite break to work on “Other Things.” What other things?

Well, at the very least, we’re doing some projects for Simply Charlotte Mason in November. Those will be fun and challenging. We’re hoping to push the quality up from previous attempts.

What else? We were working on a short, but the script called for a couple of actors we didn’t have. So we tossed that out, and now, bringing back a catchphrase from the iSundae II days, we are working on short, fun projects. And no, we can’t tell you much about them, because we’ve brainstormed a whole page of ideas and we have no idea which one(s) we’ll pick.
