This week we continued June Tunes with a special (brief) case about a childhood favorite! “Polly” is a delightful musical adaptation of the novel “Pollyanna” that takes place in Alabama in 1955. It premiered on the Wonderful World of Disney in 1989 and has a staggering 95% on Rotten Tomatoes, despite the fact that it’s not available to stream anywhere (including Disney+). The only place to watch this gem is YouTube, and we highly recommend it! 📻 🌈

Did you know that when Don Bluth was fifteen-years-old he had his first lesson in animation? Former Disney animator Wetzel Orson “Judge” Whitaker took a job at Brigham Young University and Bluth took the opportunity to make an appointment with him. At one point in their meeting, Don asked the animator why he left Disney, and Whitaker explained that while he loved animating, he had come to a crossroads in his life and he felt something pulling him to the University. As Don Bluth recounts in his book Somewhere Out There: My Animated Life, he made a vow in front of Whitaker that once he made it to Disney’s studio, he would never leave. To that Whitaker quietly responded, “Perhaps. We’ll see.”

Check out our episode coming tomorrow all about Don Bluth!
