Friday July 16
Rick Farmiloe- Living the Documentary "Waking Sleeping Beauty"
If anyone has seen the Don Hahn documentary "Waking Sleeping Beauty", a must see is hearing from an animator, who lived that time, Rick Farmiloe. He will be showing a half hour video of footage of the animators acting out their frustration, prior to the Renaissance, by masking themselves and taking hostages with guns at the trailors, where they had been banished. Not only is Rick talented, but also interesting and has been likened to a younger, slimmer Elvis Presley.

Tony Baxter, Kim Irvine and Josh Shipley, the art director on Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln- will discuss Disneyland's Mr. Lincoln remount and The Disney Gallery reopening.

June Foray- A Career of Character Voices
An Hour with The Legendary June Foray, who has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. We will hear about her life and her career. She may entertain us with some of her voices, such as Rocky, the flying squirrel from Rocky and Bullwinkle, Lucifer's meow from Cinderella, or Grandmother Fa in Mulan, amongst a few of her voices.

NFFC-Disneyana Fan Club Legends Luncheon:
This year's honorees are:
MArk Henn- Legendary Marc Davis was called "The Ladies Man" as Walt always assigned him the task of animating the heroines, including Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Alice in Wonderland, Tinker Belle and Cruella De Ville (though she was no heroine!). Another Mark, Mark Henn, has inherited that name as he is assigned the same task and has animated Belle, Mulan, Princess Jasmine and most recently, Princess Tiana in "Princess and the Frog", to name a few. At the NFFC-Disneyana Fan Club's annual luncheon on Friday July 16, Mark will be honored as an NFFC-Disneyana Fan Club Legend.
