Disneyland Line 1978 Woolie Reitherman Disneyland Animation History Anwar Sadat
Classic Disneyland Treasures from Saturday's Toys presents... a vintage issue of the Disneyland Line cast member employee newsletter... commemorating the visit of legendary animator Woolie Reitherman to the Lincoln Theatre / Main Street Opera House in Town Square. The modern appreciation for the art of animation can be traced to these early events featuring the original Disney animators and their historic presentations at Disneyland.
Also pictures the children of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat. Their visit to Disneyland took place during official meetings with President Jimmy Carter in Washington, D.C.
Packed with photos and text celebrating the cast members at Disneyland. "It Takes People" features Shinko Mahaffee (Wardrobe; demonstrating character costume heads), Mark Tito (Main Street attractions) and Anne White (Creative Services).
The newsletter also invites cast members to attend the February 23, 1978 annual Grammy award presentations hosted by John Denver (at the Shrine Auditorium)... for only $2.00 per person (WHAT?!). Grammy winners that year included Barbra Streisand (Evergreen), James Taylor (Handy Man), The Eagles (Hotel California), Steve Martin (former Disneyland cast member!), The Bee Gees, Crystal Gayle, Kenny Loggins, and Debby Boone as "Best New Artist" (You Light Up My Life).
An exceptional vintage issue; February 16, 1978; with photos not seen since this publication was distributed to Disneyland cast members.

Saturday’s Toys and Collectibles was founded in 1994 by Southern California author and media historian, Dave Mason. Soon after eBay's launch the following year, Saturday's Toys was among the first online specialists to strategize in embracing this rapidly developing technology. Having delivered over 15,000 coveted treasures since that time, Saturday's Toys is pleased to partner with researchers and collectors throughout the globe.
Today, online offerings of archival keepsakes are presented in celebration of the times that allow for family, friends and neighbors to join in memorable gatherings that nurture the strong connections that bind a community together. These treasures are affectionately represented by "Saturday's Toys." In that light we present our adopted motto (with a nod to the Sherman Brothers): "Oh, let's go fly a kite!"
