Recording of 1997 dedication of "The Disney Legends Statue"

Flounder · May 30, 2008, 11:51:19 AM

Hi,

in the early morning of April 12th 1997 "The Disney Legends Statue" was dedicated by Roy Disney. I know that several camera teams have been there to shoot the event but never saw any recordings, neither any private films nor public tapings. I just know of one existing video - which is actually my own :-"

So I wanted to ask whether there's anyone around who has at least a good quality recording of anything that was shown on TV or some private tapes.

Many thanks!

Cheers,
Flounder

PS: If this shouldn't be the right place for my request please move it ...

Yes I would like to know this as I have not seen it anywhere before I remember the day quite well as I did not know it was going to be unvailed and it was just luck being there at the right time and being so exited at seeing a real "Disney "

If I'll find some time within the next days I'll upload my recording to YouTube and post the link over here. Maybe someone else remembers it then ...

Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us, I've been looking forward to seeing the vids ever since this topic was posted. You are very lucky to have seen that I wish I had!

Does anyone know if there was a similar unvieling for the Walt and Mickey statue in Studios? I'd love to see it if there was ... I cry every time I see that statue!

Thanks for that Flounder, that was beautiful

Flounder · June 13, 2008, 02:08:19 PM

You're all welcome

Maybe it's of interest ... I'll check my old recordings in the next weeks and if something shows up that's worth to be seen I will upload it to my YouTube account and put it in the according thread in the Trip Reports area. There's still a lot of stuff from 1993 until today in my archives

Cheers,
Flounder

I bought it on my last visit in march in Disneyland paris!

WOW!!
I've seen one like that before being sold on the carts in the arcade! we were going to buy it last time, but Walt just didnt look like Walt, but that ones really nice, which shop is it sold in, I'm saving alll my pennies to buy one now!! how much was it if you don't mind me asking?

I also like the one of Mickey holding the clear globe, I was eyeing one in the shop on mainstreet when ConweJ found a Schwarkopf crystal bracelet on the floor it was gorgeous!! we didn't know if it was from the shop or someone had lost it, but the woman at the counter was looking worried and making a hurried phone call, so we handed it over :-( it was such a shame to part with something so beautiful! but I couldnt live with myself if I ever stoll something, but hopefully it will be coming home with me in December!
