Q : For The Best Doggoned Dog in the World in 1961, did they replace the Old Yeller part of the program with scenes from 101 Dalmatians?
Matthew, North Hollywood, California
A: The Best Doggoned Dog in the World was a 1957 television show about man’s special relationship with dogs, and included scenes from Old Yeller (released a month later). However, when the TV show was rerun in 1961, the Old Yeller footage was replaced with footage from 101 Dalmatians to help promote the release of that motion picture.
Q : Are the Disney Afternoon shows ever going to come back on DVD?

Q : When EPCOT first opened in 1982, there was a special on TV (I don’t remember if it was on Disney Channel or network TV), but it had a short biography on Walt Disney. As the short film was being played, Mac Davis sang a song called “Marceline” in reference to Walt’s boyhood hometown. Is there any place I could find that song? Was it ever released on a CD or album? I remember as a kid watching that over and over just because I liked the song “Marceline.”
Jason, Greer, South Carolina
A: The song, “Marceline,” actually came from the Disney television show Walt Disney—One Man’s Dream (1981). It was written by Ken and Mitzie Welch, with the composers nominated for an Emmy® Award for their song. I am not aware of any CD or album releases.
Q : There was a lovely young blonde actress who appeared with Walt in many of his lead-ins to the Wonderful World of Color TV show. She was one of the paint girls in the premier episode “Color,” brought Walt blueprints for Natures Wonderland in “Disneyland ’61,” asked for Walt’s autograph and “stole” his popcorn in “Disneyland After Dark,” escorted you to your reserved table in the “Golden Horseshoe Revue,” and brought Walt models in the Radio City CinemaScope intro to Disneyland USA. I’d love to know her name and information you might have about her!
Joseph, Pasadena, California
A: The same actress appeared in the lead-in for The Horse Without a Head on TV, and Walt called her Marla. The same name appears in production records for other shows: Marla Ryan.
Q : I am trying to find more info on the Disney movie Bride of Boogedy and specifically a prop used in that movie. They refer to a “super duper supernatural third eye.” I was wondering if anyone had any idea what it looked like, and what it might have said. I know that the movie was on TV with no video release ever made possible. Would you have any info as to where those props ended up or if anyone had a clear picture of the prop?
Andrew, Miami, Florida
A: In the script when they mentioned the “third eye,” the characters Mr. Davis, Corwin, and Ahri plastered gag fake eyes to their foreheads.  They said that the Lucifer Fall Festival was the only carnival with a “super duper supernatural third eye.”
