Q: I seem to remember a television tour of the Disney Studios hosted by Hayley Mills, who at the time was recording dialog for The Black Cauldron. Was she ever involved with that project or is my memory playing tricks on me?

A: Hayley did a television show entitled Disney Animation: The Illusion of Life in 1981, which was inspired by the book by Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston of the same title. She is shown how the animators pick the right actors for the right voices. I remember this episode well because Hayley filmed part of it in the Walt Disney Archives, relaxing between takes in my office.
