"The Mystery of Fairs" written by Mel Leven, song by The Hi-Los
Animation Director: Ward Kimball
Cartoon Story by Bill Berg
Songs by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman
Hosted by Walt Disney
Synopsis:
Walt Disney shows viewers dinosaurs that will be used at the 1964 New York
World's Fair in their pre-historic ride at the Fair. Then a cartoon history of
World's Fairs with cave men holding World Fairs is shown, often nonsensical and
hilarious (such as a cave man with a big match, which he lights and another
cave man lights his cigar in the flame and then the cigar explodes). Walt then
goes into a film history of World's Fairs which at times is nonsensical and
hilarious.
Then the 1939 World's Fair in New York is shown in color. Walt then gets back
to the dinosaurs and then shows cave men that will be used at the Fair which are
audio-animatronic. Next is the Carousel Theatre of Progress, and Walt shows
how audio-animatronics work. It is all recorded on tape, from the wink of an eye
to mouth movements. We then see the performance of the Carousel Theatre, as the
song "There's a Great and Beautiful Tomorrow" is sung. We are then shown a
model of the Tower of the Four Winds, and then we go to the World's Fair itself
and see the tower. The characters of Disneyland gather at the RCA pavilion to
entertain kids and adults. The show winds down with the "It's a Small World"
ride
at the Fair and the show ends with fountains and fireworks. [CB]
*Note: Blaine Gibson and Roland Crompu were featured
in "Disneyland Goes to
The World's Fair". They'd later be in "Disneyland 10th Anniversary."
They were part of the imagineering department. [CB]

Guest:
Julie Reems, Miss Disneyland Tencennial. [CB]
Synopsis:
Walt Disney introduces Julie Reems, Miss Disneyland Tencennial, who is to travel
as Disneyland's official ambassador and tell people of Disneyland's future
plans.
Walt takes Julie to tour the imagineering department, where some new additions
are going to be made to Disneyland, including a new restaurant, a haunted
mansion
and a new ride taking people back to the Carribean where pirates used to roam
the sea. He shows how he makes audioanimatronic characters, and the show
concludes
with the "It's a Small World" exhibit. He shows Julie the miniatures and busts of pirates that will be made
for
the ride, and then shows Julie the storyline of the ride. Tinkerbell then with
her "magic"
takes us to Disneyland for the big celebration with Mickey and the gang. There
is
a birthday cake with dancing candles (girls in candle costumes), and nonsensical
pieces of the cake going every which way. Next is the Anaheim high school bands
marching at Disneyland's main street and Mickey pounding an oversized big drum.
Walt then goes over with Julie the history of Disneyland, film archives that
include
the Shah of Iran, Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, and India's Prime Minister
Nehru
as well as U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower and grandchildren riding the rides
at
Disneyland. John Mills with his wife and daughter Hayley explore the Swiss
Family
Robinson Treehouse. The Jungleland ride is shown. Walt then introduces Julie
to one of the parrots at the Tiki room, and the secrets of how it works are

The last scene is Disneyland at night, and the Dixieland at Disneyland
celebration
with bands playing. The show ends with people singing on the steamship
Mark Twain "When the Saints Come Marching In" and fireworks explode in the sky. [CB]

The player's are nature's wild creatures: their stage is called Beetle Rock.

The plot features comic relief: deer mice invading a tourist cabin and a pair of
coyotes bungling their hunt. But most of the action is in dead earnest. Each animal
strives to eat without being eaten, leading to dramatic encounters between predator
and prey: a red-tailed hawk vs. a king snake, a weasel battling a gopher snake,
a hungry cougar attacking a stag. [RF]

A magnificent bird is in danger of extinction. This documentary follows

insecticides to the peregrine (DDT, for example results in sterility and eggs
that cannot hatch.) Five months were spent in the back country near Mount McKinley
recording the Peregrine's courting and nesting habits. They filmed most of the bird's
aerobatics in slow-motion (the falcon attains 100mph in level flight and an incredible
