Ace Ventura Pet Detective: Live in Action was a short lived show at Disney-MGM Studios from 1995 - 1996. Not only could you watch the show in Streets of America but you could often meet with Ace himself after the performance!

My guess: this is the head of Owl’s costume for Disney Channel’s “Welcome to Pooh Corner” and this may be Ken Forsse.

Is this Wing? I never see photos of him this young enough to know. I'm guessing so since he's working on LBV stuff. Have I mentioned how desperate I am to interview him about LBV?

We're having a very colorful celebration for Disney Legend Tyrus Wong's 116th birthday! 🎨 Wong was instrumental in determining the look and feel of Walt Disney's "Bambi" (1942), which celebrates its 85th anniversary next year.

While in Florida recently, I stayed at an AirBnB outfitted by the great Tommy Allsmiller (AKA Typhoon Tommy) who recently restored the famous Mai Kai Restaurant in Fort Lauderdale. It was a Tiki dream-come-true! On the AirBnB site, it’s Mananui House in Kissimmee, owned and managed by Tahiti, Gil.
