Good morning! Can you believe July is almost over? I've loved seeing all of the exercise minutes come in this month, and I love discovering all of the color changes, so I'm excited that we have a few more days to work on our rainbow of colors
Congratulations to our newest members of
Magic Kingdom Red,
hmack &
PollyannaMom!
We're only
1,792 minutes away from turning
Magic Kingdom Red as a team - can we do it by the end of the month? It'll be hard, but we've got 2 days, so let's get those exercise minutes in and see what we can do!
We also have two new members of
Disneyland W.I.S.H. Green,
chbc and
galaxygirl76!
If you've experienced any version of the classic ride It's a Small World, you've seen a lot of green all throughout the ride. But did you know that there's green outside the ride at Disneyland?
There are a number of beautiful topiaries outside of It's a Small World, including a sea serpent (not pictured) who has been there since the ride opened! The topiaries do change, and it can take anywhere from 3-10 years to grow a new topiary.
For today’s birthday we head back to the movies … specifically, Disney’s first full-color animated cartoon,
Flower and Trees.
On July 30th, 1932,
Flowers and Trees, a Silly Symphonies cartoon, was released to theaters. It was the first commercial film released in three-strip Technicolor, setting the stage for further Silly Symphony cartoons to be produced using this process (which at the time was exclusively contracted to Disney). The cartoon was approximately 8 minutes long and premiered preceding the MGM feature film
Strange Interlude.
Happy birthday,
Flowers and Trees!
