February 15 - Disney History (1) 1950: (Midnight Never Strikes when you're in Love) Disney's animated feature film Cinderella is released. The twelfth in the Walt Disney Animated Classics series (but overall the 16th feature film to be released), it is based on the fairy tale "Cendrillon" by Charles Perrault. When Cinderella's wicked stepmother Lady Tremaine prevents her from attending the Royal Ball, she gets some unexpected help from the lovable mice Gus and Jaq, and from her Fairy Godmother. Ilene Woods supplies the voice for Cinderella and Eleanor Audley (the future voice of Madame Leota for the Haunted Mansion attraction) is the voice of Lady Tremaine. Mike Douglas (future talk show host) is the un-credited singing voice of Prince Charming. For the first time, Disney has turned to Tin Pan Alley song writers to write the music, which includes "A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes," "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo" and "So This Is Love." (Cinderella will be one of the top grossing films of 1950 and be nominated for 3 Academy Awards.)

2002: Return to Never Land, Disney's animated Peter Pan sequel, is released to theaters. Set during Word War II, Wendy is now a grown up with children of her own. But when her daughter Jane is kidnapped by Captain Hook (who has mistaken her for Wendy) and taken to Never Land, Peter Pan must come to the rescue! The voice cast includes Harriet Kate Owen, Blayne Weaver, Corey Burton, Jeff Bennett, Kath Soucie, Roger Rees, and Spencer Breslin. (Critic Roger Ebert will give the film a 3 star rating.)
