One of the best things about having a Disney+ subscription is being able to go back and watch over 100 years of entertainment produced by the company founded by Walt Disney and his brother Roy. Classic animated shorts starring Oswald the Lucky Rabbit and Mickey Mouse are there. Disney’s original animated feature, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, can be experienced by new generations at any time. You can also go back and watch some of Disney’s earliest forays into television.
71 years ago this past week, the first episode of the Disneyland TV series debuted on ABC. It was called “The Disneyland Story” and was, for most of America, their first exposure to the theme park idea Walt wanted to create. However, the Disneyland TV series didn’t just share a name with what would become an iconic theme park. It was a key step in making the park happen.
