Hannah Phillips from Toy Story (75/100) A little bit of Walt (Walt Disney regarding the 1964 World’s Fair exhibitions). “At the State of Illinois exhibit they're going to have Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln. Mr. Lincoln is gonna be there. He’s going to speak 5 times an hour. It’s gonna be very lifelike and very, very believable and we've been finding some wonderful words of Mr. Lincoln that are still prophetic today. I think it's gonna be a great moment for the public when they can sit and hear Mr. Lincoln talk about some of the things. What is Liberty; you know the rights and the obligations that we have and all of that. I think it's needed today too!” - Walt Disney Coming next week: Best of On the Road with Mickey, followed by Sophie's Solo Trip to Walt Disney World Recap!
