The Disney Treasures is the ultimate interactive stroll down memorabilia lane. Selected from the vast archives of the Walt Disney Company, this historic collection includes Walt Disney's handwritten letters and notes, original sketches of beloved characters and other treasures, reproduced in facsimile form. Many of these special features are designed to be removable so readers can examine and hold masterfully reproduced bits of history. In addition, the book comes packaged with a 60-minute CD featuring previously unheard audio of Walt Disney speaking, radio commercials from the 1950s, and never-before-released sound tracks from the openings of the parks' most popular attractions. Author Robert Tieman, Manager of the Walt Disney Archives in Burbank, California, has uncovered some never-before-seen 'treasures' and brought out nostalgic items sure to evoke the fondest memories. Highlights include replicas of Disney's opening day tickets and Walt Disney's first notes about his idea of the Mickey Mouse Club on television, the truly rare character sketches created by animators in the 1930s and 1940s. The Disney Treasures is the perfect book for Disney lovers everywhere. From beginning collectors to seasoned pros, The Disney Treasures offers a rare glimpse into one of the most beloved institutions in the world.
