Shirt Tales Live at Six Flags

We've mentioned before the Shirt Tales brief stay at the Six Flags parks back in the mid-80's.

SNL Recap 4/10/10 - Tina Fey

Walt Disney felt that Easter wasn't as marketable in other parts of the world so the resources were never put into backing many Easter cartoons. In fact, here's about the closest Disney ever came to an Easter cartoon - the 1934 Silly Symphony Funny Little Bunnies.








Happy Easter!
