Buena Vista Distribution - Any historical resources?

I am searching for any official sources on the creation of Walt Disney’s distribution arm Buena Vista. The basics of Buena Vista’s beginnings are clear: it began in 1953, in part, as a result of RKO’s reluctance to release the True-Life Adventure series, but also because RKO’s distribution success a...

Re: Who determined the "Disney Canon" and when was it create

In a special on Disneyland's 30th anniversary (not the one featuring John Forsythe and a young Drew Barrymore, but a different one hosted by the "Entertainment Tonight" people), they touted the then-upcoming "The Black Cauldron" as the 25th animated feature, so I'm guessing that...

Why is the UK canon different than the canon within the United States? How is the UK canon different than the US? In the UK and throughout much of Europe "Dinosaur" (2000) is not included their version of the canon. "The Wild" (2006) takes its place within their canon. Although ...

I am searching for any official sources on the history and creation of the Disney canon or "classics" (i.e. Disney's list of full-length feature animated films). The only relevant unofficial information I have found is on Disney.Wikia, which states, "For advertising purposes, the Walt...
