2719 HYPERION


Freeze Frame! - Daisy's Favorite SpotJanuary 5
Daisy Duck has always been portrayed as a bit of a free spirit when it comes to romance. And according to the 1954 Donald Duck cartoon Donald's Diary, she dated quite a few Disney Studio employees. In one of the short's funnier moments, Donald carves his and Daisy's names in a tree at a location the narrator identifies as "Daisy's Favorite Spot." The back of the tree reveals why.

Though only first names are carved onto the tree, they likely refer to the following studio employees:

Al - storyman Al Bertino
Dan - effects animator Dan MacManus
Sib - animator Brian Sibley
Nick - storyman Nick George
Hugh - layout artist Hugh Hennesy
Ed - animator Ed Ardal or composer Edward Plumb
Harry - animator Harry Holt
Jack - director Jack Kinney
Bruce - layout artist Bruce Bushman
Fred - Possibly animator Fred Moore, though Donald's Diary was made two years after his death in 1952

The cartoon features one other notable Freeze Frame! m

It is with tremendous enthusiasm and great excitement that I welcome George Taylor to 2719 Hyperion. George is playing a large role in the remodeling and expansion of 2719 Hyperion and for the future will serve as co-editor of the site.

Freeze Frame! - Mickey Under the TreeDecember 10 2008
Mickey Mouse toys were undoubtedly on the wish lists of countless children back in 1933. Disney artists payed homage to that notion with the appearance of this push-toy from that year's holiday-themed Silly Symphony The Night Before Christmas.

"Help! Fan my brow!" poor Bashful begs,
"This place fries men as well as eggs!"
While Sleepy droops and near expires
Shouts Grumpy, "Men, just pipe them tires!"

Such heat! They're just about to roast!
Groans Grumpy, "I give up the ghost!"
But Happy, quick on inspiration,
Says, "Boys, there's help at Standard's station!"

Cries Sneezy, "Service everywhere!"
A-choo--some oil! A-choo--some air!"
"Ho! For the m-mountains," Doc observes.
"We'll scale the heights, spin 'round the curves!"
"Hold on," howls Grumpy, "take 'er slow!
I've heard the road is blocked with snow."

"It's ice cream," says the Standard man.
"Can you get through? Of course you can!
With Standard Gas your worry's over."
"Hooray!" yells Doc. "We're in c-clover!"
