Hi DISers,
There are some cool things happening at the museum in August. I am especially intrigued to meet the actor who portrayed Travis Coates (and had to shoot Old Yeller), fought off those pirates as Ernst Robinson, was a Shaggy Dog and played the Monkey's Uncle Merlin Jones. Tommy Kirk is one of my favorite Disney actors from my childhood. I hope to see you there!
Film of the Month: August 1 - 30, 2010
Swiss Family Robinson (1960)
1:00 and 4:00 pm (daily except Tuesdays and August 13, 14, and 21),
A family... a shipwreck... a deserted island... What should they do to survive? Build a home (in a tree), protect themselves (from pirates of course), and fall in love! Life on an uninhabited island doesnt sound so bad after all.
Friday August 13 and Saturday August 14, 2010
