Happy 100th Birthday, Mary Blair! Enjoy Your Google Doodle!
100 years ago today, Mary Blair, an artist whose unique style was immortalized in classic Walt Disney films of the 1940s and 50s and theme parks, was born in McAlester, Oklahoma.
She was best known for the artwork she contributed to animations including Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan and Cinderella, and the look for It’s A Small World at the 1964 New York World’s Fair and later appeared in all Disney theme parks. Several of her illustrated children’s books from the 1950s remain in print, such as [[[I Can Fly]]].
To celebrate her birthday and influential art style, Google has given her a Google Doodle, which we show you here. If you want to know more about her, her nieces have put together a web site, or you can try and find the book [[[The Art and Flair of Mary Blair]]].
Now if only I can get the music from It’s A Small World out of my head…

Happy birthday to Stan the Man! (If you don’t know who he is, I can’t imagine why you’re even reading this website.)
A titanic event sixty years in the making!
On this day in 1940, 
Ohhh my.
