TCM Documentary on Disney live-action movies

Post by Future Guy » Dec Mon 15, 2008 9:23 am

Last night, Turner Classic Movies showed an original documentary on the history of Disney live-action movies entitled "The Age of Believing: The Disney Live Action Classics", and it was excellent. There were interviews with many of the actors that were in movies like The Swiss Family Robinson, The Shaggy Dog, Mary Poppins, and others, and there were a lot of good stories about Walt. It airs again on Dec. 21

Did anyone else catch it?

I saw it was going to be on - wish I had more than basic cable! Oh well, at least it reminds me of all the great films and I can request them at the library.
Drop another coin in slot and I will tell you more.

I saw this a few weeks ago. I did miss the beginning though. The TCM website will post if a particular movie (or program) will be scheduled in the next 3 months. Unfortunately, there is no date posted for future broadcast. Here is the address to "The Age of Believing" on www.tcm.com:
