	DVD Verdict Review - Disney's American Legends
		Disney's American Legends is a sort of throwback: a compilation film (what Walt used to call a "package feature") with a friendly host offering four tales along a similar theme.
		I once asked one of the old Disney animators what it meant, and he just shrugged and said, "I never understood it either—Walt told us to put it in." Oddly, the original press release for this DVD promised that the "Donald Applecore" cartoon (from 1952) would be included on this disc, but it is not.
		Instead, through lush backgrounds and rubbery "squash and stretch" animation characteristic of Disney shorts during their most prolific period, Casey races through a series of silly sight gags to deliver the mail.

	Wade Sampson : Forgotten Disney Legends: Ferdinand Horvath
		From 1934-1937, he worked at the Disney Studios on everything from advertising to illustrations for a pop-up book to painting backgrounds and doing layouts to constructing three dimensional models (such as making a windmill for study for "The Old Mill") to character designs and gags for over fifty Silly Symphonies and Mickey Mouse shorts.

		Unfortunately only two of the pages are reproduced in color and most Disney collectors are unaware that this publication even exists since it was a small print run almost thirty years ago.
