Disney is one of the largest entertainment corporations in the world today but way back in 1923 it was just one man and a little mouse named Mickey.
Help us celebrate this colorful film studio by joining in on the fun! We will also be giving away some terrific prizes and on Silver Scenes you can enjoy Disney-themed posts all month long leading up to the event.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with blogathons, they are simply a hosted theme writing event that you can take part in if you have a blog. All you need do is create a supercalifragilistic post that goes along with the theme ( Walt Disney ) and share the link to your post with us so that we can include it on a master list for others to enjoy.
For this event, you've got a TON of topics you can write about. There's a great big heffalump-size of material waiting for your selection! You can make a post about Walt Disney himself, any of the animated films and shorts that the studio made, the live-action films ( over 150 titles! ), the television series, the actors and actresses who had contracts with the studio or one of the numerous behind-the-scenes personnel ( e.g. Peter Ellenshaw, Robert Stevenson ). You could also write about a Disney character ( e.g. Goofy ), a role in a film ( Julie Andrews as Mary Poppins ), or a history of the studio itself. You can even write a review of a Disney record album or book - including coloring books and comic books. If it has anything to do with Disney you are good to go!
Here's a recap of that above mess:
- Animated Films & Shorts
- Live-Action Films ( including TV movies ) & Shorts
- Television Series
- Any Actor/Actress who had a Disney contract
- Behind-the-Scenes Personnel
- Disney Characters
- One Role in a Film
- A History of the Studio or a branch of the studio ( e.g. The Special-Effects Department )
- Disney Memorabilia
- Disney Music
- or Somethin' Special
Rules? Who needs rules? We have no rules here. Well, alright....maybe one. You can pick any topic that is related to Walt Disney Studios provided it is focused on something between the years 1923-1996. After all, this is a classic film blog!
Old posts are always welcomed, too, if you re-post them with one of the new Disney banners ( down below ).
We'll be announcing the prizes in our giveaway at a later date, but for now.....every entry in the blogathon gives you an extra "ticket" for the giveaway, so the more posts the merrier!

ReplyDeleteOh, and I'm at Taking Up Room.

A scrumptious choice! Thanks for taking part!
DeleteI cannot BELIEVE I never posted about the original Tron (1982). I can believe I never posted about 1979's The Black Hole because I only just came across a DVD of it earlier this year.
ReplyDeleteOops. Did I forget to add my blog? www.midnitedrive-in.com
DeleteAnd both movies in one post, por favor.
Got you down for them both, Quiggy. I have not yet seen Tron - it's one of the ONLY Disney films I haven't seen yet - so I look forward to your review.
DeleteI'd love to participate and write about Marge Champion's Disney connections!
ReplyDelete- Jess
