Disney theme park train aficionados probably already know that there was a time
when the Sante Fe & Disneyland Railroad and the Disneyland Alweg
Monorail weren't owned by Disneyland, but by Walt Disney's personal company,
Retlaw Enterprises. Walt Disney created WED Enterprises in December 1952 to oversee the design of
Disneyland. He also assigned the rights to his name and likeness to the
company and eventually ownership of the Disneyland
Railroad and Disneyland Monorail, which he personally owned. WED (now
called Walt Disney Imagineering) was sold to the Walt Disney Productions in
January 1965. But not included in that sale were the rights to Walt Disney's
name and ownership of the Disneyland Railroad and Disneyland Monorail. On February 5, 1965, he assigned those properties
to a new company, Retlaw Enterprises (Walter spelled
backwards). Finally, in 1982, the Disney family sold the naming rights and
rail-based attractions to the Disney Studio. Retlaw continued
operations with a small office in Los Angeles managing the Disney family's
television stations and real estate holdings. In 1999 Retlaw sold its
remaining 11 television stations, and in 2005 the remaining divisions of
Retlaw officially became part of the Walt Disney Family Foundation, a non-profit
organization led by Diane Disney Miller. This is a genuine Retlaw employee
I.D. card featuring the official Retlaw mirrored "R" logo.
A rare artifact of the company Walt Disney created to take care of his
family. Credit-card size, on heavy paper; in
like-new condition. We have several, so the number shown on the card may
vary. Item # 3700, $179

any image for a better view This lively hand-inked and hand-painted animation cel and its matching drawing of Jiminy Cricket were created by artists working with animator Preston Blair in production of a television commercial for Royal Gelatin that aired on the Disney weekly television program in the 1970s. The drawing was created by an animator; the cel was made directly from it in the Ink-and-Paint Department and photographed in the making of the film. Preston Blair signed the cel in full next to the character. Preston Blair began his career in animation with Walter Lantz and Charles Mintz in the 1930s before joining the Walt Disney Studio later in that decade. He animated characters for Fantasia (notably Mickey Mouse and Hyacinth Hippo) and also worked on Pinocchio (1940) and Bambi (1942). He left Disney after the 1941 strike for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. There he joined Fred "Tex" Avery's unit. He is famed for his animation of the sexy nightclub star Red in six of Tex Avery's M-G-M cartoons. In the 1960s he animated at Hanna-Barbera on The Flintstones and in subsequent years was involved in the development and production of animated films and commercials.Mr. Blair authored a number of art and animation instruction books published by Walter T. Foster. The first, Advanced Animation, was published in 1947 and revised several times into the 1990s. His titles Cartoon Animation and Animation 1 remain in print today. These originals are from the estate of Preston Blair. Two Certificates of Authenticity is included; the Phil Sears Collectibles Lifetime Guarantee of Authenticity and Certificate of a very respected animation dealer. Cel measures approximately 12.5" X 10". In very fine condition.
