The Tank in Captain America

Image
  In Captain America: The First Avenger (2011), the tank that was used in the black and white propaganda film was an M3 Stuart tank. These tanks were produced in 1941 for the United States Military. In the film, the tank was painted to look like a German tank. This is what real propaganda videos from World War II were really like because the United States couldn’t get their hands on a real German tank to film videos. In 1942, the M5 Stuart was produced. Here is the video clip. (skip ahead to 2:12) Here is an image of an M5 Stuart tank. For further reading about the tank, here is the Wikipedia PAGE .

DISNEYLAND: It's A Small World - The Mary Blair Doll

Image
On it's a small world , there is a doll dedicated to Mary Blair known as The Mary Blair Doll.” She was an Imagineer for Disneyland and designed it’s a small world for the World’s Fair in 1964 along with Rolly Crump. Mary was known for her extravagant designs with color and shapes. The doll that is dedicated to her is located on top of the Eifel Tower holding a balloon and wearing a yellow rain poncho to mimic Mary’s real-life outlandish and wild attire. Mary was also the art director for several Disney films including Dumbo (1941), Saludos Amigos (1942), The Three Caballeros (1944), Song of the South (1946), Fun and Fancy Free (1947), So Dear to My Heart (1948), Cinderella (1950), Alice In Wonderland (1951), Peter Pan (1953), and Lady and The Tramp (1955). Her designs usage of bright, vibrant colors is what led to Alice In Wonderland’s nationwide use as a focal for people who were using drugs like LSD in the 1960’s during the “hippie era.” If you liked this bit of hist...

MOVIES: Star Wars - Freddy Krueger knew Luke Skywalker

Image
Robert Englund , who became Freddy Krueger in the  Nightmare on Elm Street  films, was down at the studio to audition for  Apocalypse Now  (1979) in the late 70’s for the production company  American Zoetrope .  American Zoetrope  was founded by  George Lucas  and  Francis Ford Coppola . Lucas had used the company when he made his films  THX 1138  (1971) and  American Graffiti (1973) before he made  Lucasfilm  a substantial company when he came out with  Star Wars  (1977) (although he did use  Lucasfilm  for  American Graffiti  as well). After Robert auditioned for  Apocalypse Now , the production company sent him across the hall to audition for the role of Han Solo. They took a Polaroid photo of him and sent him on his way. The role ended up going to Harrison Ford, who also got a role in  Apocalypse Now . When Robert was leaving the casting office he noticed the signs f...

DISNEYLAND: Pirates of the Caribbean - Redd Has A Voice

Image
The Auctioneer scene on  Pirates of the Caribbean  is one of the most iconic scenes in all of  Disneyland . This scene was also the only completed scene that Walt Disney was able to experience before his death, and the last attraction he worked on. To the happiness of thousands and the sadness of millions,  Magic Kingdom’s Pirates of the Caribbean  attraction just reopened with the icon scene drastically altered. The former redheaded prostitute known to fans as Redd, is now a gun-wielding pirate. The entire scene is no longer the “ Take a wench for a bride ” scene. It was transformed into the “ Auction ” scene. Redd was to become a pirate in the original attraction anyway. She is depicted in a painting behind the drinking skeletons. This just puts her in the position of power now, rather than in the future. The Auctioneer is now auctioning off stolen goods and animals. What caught my attention is that Redd now has dialogue! But who is the voice of this redh...
