The Only Movie for which Walt Received Story Credit

Lt. Robin Crusoe is the only movie for which Walt Disney received a story credit (as Retlaw Yensid - Walter Disney spelled backward).

Lt. Robin Crusoe USN is a 1966 comedy film released and scripted by Walt Disney. The film stars Dick Van Dyke as a U.S. Navy pilot who becomes a castaway on a tropical island.

The film was based on Daniel Defoe's classic novel Robinson Crusoe. The US Navy cooperated in the film by allowing the producers to film on the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk. Walt Disney arranged the world premiere of the film to be shown on the ship to its crew.

1966 - Disneyland Topiaries

The tradition of Disney Topiaries began in 1966 when Disneyland horticulturalists sculpted larger-than-lifesize characters in Fantasyland, in particular surrounding the It's a Small World attraction. At Disney World, the process began 3 years before the resort’s 1971 opening and is still evolving today at the WDW Nursery!
