Cinderella's stepmother and two step sisters. Madame Tremaine, Cinderella's mother and Sir Richard Tremaine
The story of the battle between these two has been around for a long time. One the face of beauty; the other the face of evil. Anyone who knows me, knows that Sleeping Beauty's castle is my favorite castle. Walt specifically had a part in overseeing it's creation. Where it all began!!
Jolly Holiday is a song from the film, Mary Poppins. It was written by the Sherman Brothers. It is sung by Bert and Mary Poppins in the pastel fantasy sequence before reaching the carousel. The Oscar winning music arranger Irwin Kostal provided the much lauded orchestration. The film takes place in 1910 (although the P.L. Travers books place the story in 1934) and the song is in the Music Hall style of the period. Jolly Holiday Bakery
Sit on the expansive Victorian-style garden patio and nibble on an assortment of sweet and flaky baked goods and desserts. Take in the prime views of people enjoying their day at the Happiest Place on Earth with Sleeping Beauty Castle and Matterhorn Bobsleds in the background. Feel especially merry when you sample breakfast entrees like an egg and bacon croissant sandwich or a yogurt parfait. Try lunch and dinner delights like oven-roasted turkey on ciabatta, a toasted cheese sandwich or the fabulous Jolly Holiday Salad. You can see more of the bakery in this previous post. I'm a HUGE Back to the Future fan! The Enchantment Under the Sea dance was a high school dance that was held at Hill Valley High School on Saturday night, November 12, 1955 . It was the dance in which Marty McFly 's parents George McFly and Lorraine Baines fell in love after their first kiss. Hill Valley High School is actually Whittier High School in Whittier, CA. The school is located 9 miles from my home town. In fact the movie was filmed all over Southern CA where I grew up.
The famous Doc Brown scene at the mall in the beginning of the film was shot at Puente Hills Shopping Center where my mother worked in a candle store. My dad's brother-in-law, who works at Universal Studios, CA, was part of the crew that built the Hill Valley courthouse square on the Universal Studios back-lot. As well as the Clock Tower for the famous lightning strike scene. The Ghostess is very small being only around the size of a doll. She wears a white satin dress with a long, non transparent hood, often mistaken for a veil, of the same material. She has visible long blue hair and glowing pale blue skin. Contrary to popular belief, she is not holding a bouquet of dead flowers, but instead holding dried herbs. Nevertheless, to the untrained eye, she slightly has the appearance of a bride. Based on her actual description, it is possible that Little Leota is actually a wisp or fay of Celtic folklore. Hurry back. Hurry Back! According to Disney Legend Marc Davis, Little Leota's character was in part inspired by a funeral-hostess character from the 1965 dark-comedy film The Loved One. The way that Little Leota talks is inspired by this character and her line "if you decide to join us" was inspired by the funeral-hostess' line "we hope that one day he may decide to join us".
