[edit] Ended

The article says that the series "ended for good," but doesn't ABC (now owned by Disney) show it on Sunday nights now? I'm sure I see it advertised weekly. —Frecklefoot 19:08, 5 Nov 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Michael Eisner

Does anyone know if Michael Eisner does actually present the show? If so, who will present the show when Eisner leaves Sept 30? Surely not Bob Iger? --Speedway 16:53, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

I seem to remember "The Wonderful World of Disney" was on CBS in 1990. (They were showing "Mickey's Christmas Carol" and had a commercial for Beethoven. The CBS "bug" was on the screen, too.) Am I crazy?

What I mean is, my mom taped "Mickey's Christmas Carol" a long time ago. The opening sequence had Mickey painting with magical paintbrushes and a lot of things. All during that sequence, an orchestral mix of "When You Wish Upon a Star" and "Part of Your World" was playing. Then, the title appeared. After a Donald Duck cartoon, I caught those dogs barking out "Jingle Bells" while I saw the Universal logo. After that, Mom cut through the commercials. When she did that, I saw the CBS "bug" at the bottom while everyone looked at a brown photo of some of the Disney gang singing Christmas carols. I think at the end of the movie, there was a preview of "The Nightmare Before Christmas". I also saw on the same tape the beginning of the same sequence with the ABC "bug". Am I crazy? Sorry for the long message. 71.111.209.99 15:04, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Man, I just don't get it. I don't get it. Does anyone know about this? I'll have the link for an example in a minute. Ah, here it is. Now, the open I saw was much longer and had clips from Honey, I Shrunk the Kids and was flying over Disney-MGM Studios. It was also titled "The Wonderful World of Disney". It also didn't have the live-action 101 Dalmations and Toy Story clips (instead, Roger Rabbit and 3 Men and a Baby). Now can you see what I'm saying? Thank you. 71.111.232.40 20:18, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

  • The opens tended to evolve over the years, so all sorts of variations probably exist. —tregoweth (talk) 22:57, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

You're probably right. Say, you can help contribute to this article. Would you mind helping add on to it, tregoweth? 71.111.232.40 13:13, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Videos

Look under the external links banner. I put up some video opens through YouTube. I hope you enjoy them. 71.111.232.40 20:54, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Hey, who took the videos down? 71.111.232.40 22:17, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Nobody's explaining why they put down the videos. I'm not going to hurt you or anything. Just please tell me what's going on. Thank you. 71.111.232.40 19:25, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Looking back through the history, it looks like I did, without meaning to. I'd re-add them, but that's probably a copyright violation, and I don't want to attract Disney's lawyers. —tregoweth (talk) 21:14, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

How? As long as they don't know about it, we're clear. I bet Disney's lawyers really don't care. 71.111.232.40 00:02, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

I put them back. Please do not touch. I put in a good 15 minutes doing this. Thank you. 71.111.232.40 00:05, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

What I meant is originally. 71.111.232.40 00:06, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

  • If a link is not legal and may harm Wikipedia, chances are someone will take it down. —tregoweth (talk) 00:45, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

How could it not be legal? Nobody uses them anymore. 71.111.232.40 01:52, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Whether they're being used or not, the programs (and their openings) are still copyrighted material, and whoever posted them to YouTube did so without Disney's permission. Disney could bring legal action against YouTube for hosting it, and possibly Wikipedia for linking to it. You may want to read Wikipedia:Copyrights for more information. —tregoweth (talk) 03:29, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Friend, I took 2 classes in Computer Applications. I know a lot about copyright law and the fair use policy. Are we out to make a profit? No. Are we entering a contest? No. So, as far as I'm concerned, we're OK. 71.111.232.40 23:22, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

  • No offense, but taking those classes doesn't make you a lawyer. :) Fair use is pretty complicated, and in lieu of expert legal advice, it's usually best to err on the side of caution. —tregoweth (talk) 04:27, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Well, I still don't think we're doing anything wrong. I may not be a lawyer, but I know we're not trying to get in legal trouble. 71.111.232.40 15:21, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article name

I've been thinking that the article should be renamed to something like "Disney anthology TV series"—it's not strictly a Walt Disney (the man) series, and the title currently doesn't indicate what kind of series it is. Thoughts? Comments? :) —tregoweth (talk) 02:02, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Syndication

Does anyone know about the Syndication details? In the late 80's / Early 90's there was a daily syndicated version of this that I used to watch every day as a kind on channel 31 (Sacramento area). That is all of the details I have, though. It was basically rerunning the entire library, which is where I first saw things like the "Wonderful World of Color" episode, etc. 67.181.97.183 03:49, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Wwod open.jpg

Image:Wwod open.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
