[Oswald the Lucky Rabbitt, Al Michaels, Disney and NBC Universal]

From what I've read about it, Walt was really heartbroken when they "stole" the rights to Oswald from him; obviously he vowed nothing like that would happen again and ever since then, the Disney Co. has fiercely protected all its copyrights - a bit ironic, since so many of Disney's animated classics were based on fairy tales in the public domain.

 

I knew Disney Co. had gotten the rights to Oswald back not too long ago, but I didn't remember the details - thanks for sharing the story.

 

I've a little Oswald pin that Disney made not too long ago, it's very cute.

> FIRECREEK is really a great example of the last gasp of the American western before the influences of Peckinpah and Leone created a whole new form. One could say that there is a Leone influence upon the film in the look of the town and its being so sparsely populated. It's not bright and pretty in its setting as were so many overly lighted 50s and 60s westerns. Walls don't look freshly painted and the street isn't some backlot set that had been used previously to shoot BONANZA or THE BIG VALLEY. The males don't appear to be costumed by Levi Straus and some of the shirts were the proper pullover kind that were prevalent in the period.

 

That's also an excellent point, clore, in this regard, I believe the movie benefits immensely from having such old-fashioned stars as Fonda and Stewart.
