The MousePod - MousePod #27 - A Two-Part Part 2

OK, the last two episodes of The MousePod were pretty thorough. Or so I thought. Occasionally, I’ll write something down in my notebook and neglect to mention it. When that happens, I’ll either mention it at the start of the next show or print it here on my blog. But let me tell you what happened the last couple of weeks.
First off, as I finished up my Disney Goes To War show (MousePod #25), I came across a blog and self-published book called Toons At War, by David Lesjak. He’s been collecting Disney WWII memorabilia and researching Disney’s involvement in the war for the past 21 years. It was too late to add his expertise to the show, but I was able to interview him a week later. You get that full interview in this show.
Then, a week later, I decided to do a special show focusing on all the Disney animated shorts that won Academy Awards (MousePod #26). There were 13 in all, but Disney has only released 12 on DVD. So I put together a round-table discussion with a dozen of my friends to discuss the twelve available shows. Two days later, an anonymous MousePod listener sent me a copy of the theatrical version of the final short “It’s Tough To Be a Bird”. I shared it with the same group from the previous week. I recorded the round table the same way, and it’s presented here for your listening pleasure.
(The two parts are presented here out of order, because I feel that while it’s Tough To Be a Bird, it’s even tougher to follow David’s touching WWII stories with a conversation about a cartoon.)
By the way, here’s what I forgot to mention this episode: the other people who appear in It’s Tough To Be a Bird along with Ward Kimball are: John Emerson, Hank Schloss, Jim Swain, Walter Perkins, Ann Lord, and Rolf Darbo. I know the Emerson, Schloss, Perkins, and Darbo worked for Disney - I don’t know who Ann Lord or Jim Swain are. If anyone has any clues, I’d love to know.
