I wonder if the old Fleischer-Terry cartoons that weren't DC-based or Popeye are going to get a rerelease any time soon. Same question for Gulliver's Travels.
 
OK, so Kepple Disney was born in Ireland. I wonder if Walt, Jr. knows about his grandfather's familial ties to Ireland, and if he has served as Grand Marshal of any city's St. Patrick's Day Parade.
Junior knows plenty about his Irish heritage. He did the St. Patrick's Day parade in Los Angeles for about five years in a row. This year, he was on hand for the St. Patrick's festivities in San Diego to hype up the Mighty Ducks' arrival.

Turner Home Entertainment is releasing the Fleischer-Terry Little Lulus under both the Viddy Oh! For Kids and Cartoon Moviestars collections.

MCA/Universal Home Video has produced multiple volumes of the Walter Lantz and 1950's Famous Studios cartoons on VHS, Laserdisc and even Beta. Right now, they are in the process of restoring Gulliver's Travels in collaboration with YCM Labs for a 55th Anniversary VHS/Laserdisc coming in 1994.
 
He turns 46 on June 14. Trey turns 13 three days before that.

Reaction to Daisy-Head Mayzie
"A much more free-wheeling, happy-go-lucky film than the dreary and depressing FernGully. Hands down!"
- Gene Shalit; The Today Show

"Two thumbs up!"
- Siskel and Ebert

"It's a shame that Dr. Seuss died before the film was finished, but I think he would've loved it."
- The San Diego Union-Tribune

"The casting of Kelsey Grammer as The Cat in the Hat caught me by surprise!"
- The Boston Globe
 
What does Disney use 20th Century-Fox for? Is it used to distribute more mature films or is it technically a completely seperate studio?

1) Mature films, yes. Plus the anime dubs since 1976. Rocky Horror, The Omen and Silver Streak the first Fox releases under Disney's ownership.
2) Within the Disney conglomerate ITTL, Fox enjoys at least some of the autonomy that Miramax had during the Eisner/Katzenberg years IOTL.
