“On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me…. A mermaid and a Christmas tree?” Today is the first day of our celebrating 12 Days of Christmas! We will post something delightfully Disney for the next 12 days, so stay tuned for some holiday cheer! #12daysofchristmas
“Lady and the Tramp” debuted in 1955. Did you know? The scene in the movie where Jim Dear surprises his wife with a puppy in a hatbox was inspired by a similar real-life gift Walt Disney gave his wife, Lillian, one Christmas. #ladyandthetramp #disneydogs #disneyclassic
Today is the 52nd anniversary of Walt Disney’s “The Jungle Book.” Shown here are a couple vintage press kit photos of Phil Harris and Sebastian Cabot getting acquainted with their animated counterparts, Baloo and Bagheera!

“Let’s get dangerous!” The animated series “Darkwing Duck” premiered on The Disney Channel on this date in 1991. When average citizen Drake Mallard dons a mask, hat, and cape, he becomes the swashbuckling crimebuster…Darkwing Duck!
On July 26, 1951, Walt Disney’s "Alice in Wonderland" had its world premiere in England, and was released in the U.S. two days later. The film was rediscovered by later audiences when it was made available on 16mm for schools, and was rereleased in theaters in 1974 and 1981.
From deep within our vault comes these newly digitized transparencies of art by #DisneyLegend Mel Shaw from "The Fox and the Hound," which was released on this date in 1981.
Scrooge McDuck made his debut 70 years ago this month in the 1947 Donald Duck comic classic, “Christmas on Bear Mountain.” From Scrooge’s family and everyone here in the Walt Disney Archives, we wish you all the happiest of holidays!
Hoppy Easter, everybunny! We're celebrating with artwork by Russell Schroeder from a 1982 employee publication. Can you name all 16 bunnies?
