Richard Fleischer

We decided to stage the attack at night, during a storm at sea, so we had spray and wave and great excitement, while obscuring the action.”—Richard Fleischer, about the dramatic squid attack scene in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

Buddy Hackett

Buddy first arrived at Disney to star in The Love Bug with Dean Jones and Michele Lee; the film became the highest-grossing motion picture in the United States in 1969.

Maurice Chevalier

When he first stepped onto the Disney Studio lot, the actor’s career had already spanned more than 60 years, but his enthusiasm kept him young and he continued to light up the screen with his larger-than-life persona.

Sir John Mills

As critic Leonard Maltin observed in his book The Disney Films, “[In Swiss Family Robinson] John Mills strikes just the right note of adventurism, tempered with humor and a genuine feeling of enjoying the whole escapade.”

Robert Stevenson

During the 1960s, the unpretentious craftsman directed nearly all of Disney’s successful films, including the Academy Award^®-winning Mary Poppins in 1964.

Robert Newton

“Treasure Island belongs to Robert Newton,” critic Leonard Maltin wrote in his book The Disney Films.

Richard Todd

Richard recalled his transition from mostly war films to Disney medieval fare with bemused affection, saying the “Robin Hood roles” were “where my image was all daring deeds, until my swash began to buckle a bit.”

Ken Annakin

Disney proved a fruitful training ground for the young filmmaker, who later recalled, “Working with Walt was a great experience in learning discipline because when you worked with him, you were making his picture under his conditions. He was very organized; every picture was storyboarded before filming.”

Hugh Attwooll

Over the years, Hugh contributed to myriad Disney motion pictures, including Greyfriars Bobby in 1961, In Search of the Castaways in 1962, The Moon-Spinners in 1964, Candleshoe in 1978, and Watcher in the Woods in 1980.
