After the mainstream success of Burton’s features Beetlejuice, Pee-wee’s Big Adventure and Batman, the film was given a home video release in 1994. It is currently available as an extra, along with Vincent, on The Nightmare Before Christmas DVD, or you can watch it below 🙂

Little girl sells Lemonade to get to Disneyland..Shut down

A California girl had her lemonade stand shut down, so she took her complaint to the steps of city hall.

Seven year old Daniela Earnest says she got into the lemonade business because she wanted to help her family pay for a trip to Disneyland. But, the city shut her down saying her stand was operating near a very dangerous intersection and without a permit. “Well, we were selling lemonade and a code enforcement person came and shut us down,” says Daniela. The Tulare mayor Craig Vejvoda says, “She was on a very busy intersection. Has no curb and gutter. Like I say, it was one of the most dangerous intersections in our community. It just was not a safe place to be.”

Councilmembers were moved by Daniela’s remarks. They promised the city would try to work something out so Daniela could keep selling lemonade somewhere. And after seeing her story in the paper, a local radio station gave the family 4 2-day passes to Disneyland. But, that was in exchange for 30 glasses of lemonade.

At long last, construction at The Walt Disney Family Museum at the Presidio in San Francisco is almost done.

Tickets are now on sale at www.waltdisney.org, so fans can begin to plan their trips!

The Walt Disney Family Museum has been created by those who knew and loved Walt best, his family. It will offer an intimate view of the man through an unparalleled collection of personal artifacts and photos, as well as animation art and memorabilia. Says Diane Disney Miller, one of the Museum’s founders, “My father’s name is probably one of the most well-known names around the world, but as the ‘brand’ or trademark has spread, for many, the man has become lost.
