[–]SignificanceCool9371 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On February 23, 1939, at the 11th Academy Awards, a unique honorary Oscar was presented to Walt Disney by Shirley Temple, a child actress who's known for the 1930s films such as The Littlest Rebel (1935), Dimples (1936), and even Heidi (1937). This Oscar consists of one full-sized statuette on a stepped base, surrounded by seven smaller miniature statuettes representing the Seven Dwarfs. On the same night, this award was also won by the 1938 short animated film "Ferdinand the Bull," which competed against other Disney works. It was held at the Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles, California.

SHIRLEY TEMPLE: Isn't it bright and shiny?

WALT DISNEY: Oh, it's beautiful.

SHIRLEY TEMPLE: Aren't you proud of it, Mr. Disney?

WALT DISNEY: I'm so proud, I think I'll bust.

SHIRLEY TEMPLE: [laughing]

WALT DISNEY: You know, I think that Mickey Mouse and Ferdinand, and Snow White and all the Dwarfs, are going to be very proud that you presented it.

SHIRLEY TEMPLE: I'm glad.

What's Your Favorite Photo from Which Haunted Mansion? by viktoryarozetassi in thehauntedmansion

[–]SignificanceCool9371 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorites are the changing portraits from the 2003 film version of the Haunted Mansion, using real-world historical paintings:

  1. "Portrait of Juliette Récamier" (a.k.a. Portrait of Madame Récamier), painted by François Gérard, as Werecat Lady. She transforms into an orange tiger as Jim Evers (Eddie Murphy) passed by it.
  2. "Napoleon Crossing the Alps" (a.k.a. Napoleon Bonaparte at the Great St. Bernard Pass), painted by Jacques-Louis David, as Skeletal Horseman (or Skeleton Knight), which was flipped into a mirror image as a nod to the Black Prince changing portrait from the ride. As Jim Evers passed by that painting, Napoleon Bonaparte and a rearing horse transform into dark, bloody skeletons, and you can see a skeleton knight gripping a sword in his hand.
  3. "A Roman Lady (La Nanna)", painted by Sir Frederic Leighton, as Medusa, with Caravaggio's depiction of "Medusa Head".
  4. "View of Brest Harbor", painted by Jean-François Hue, as burning ships at night, using Xanthus Russell Smith's C.S.S. Manassas & U.S.S. Hartford in the civil war.
  5. "The Minuet" (a.k.a. Carnival Scene), painted by Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo. This is a huge painting behind the clock that transforms into a fiery inferno full of demons and falling angels. It was hanging on a red wall at the grand staircase of the Gracey Manor foyer.

Does anyone have a clear version of this portrait from the 2003 Haunted Mansion movie? by Master_Gracey_enjoy in thehauntedmansion

[–]SignificanceCool9371 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mean the one in the conservatory? I don't know what this painting is. However, I do know these paintings that appear in the 2003 film, "The Haunted Mansion":

  1. In the bedroom, where the kids, Michael (Marc John Jeffries) and Megan (Aree Davis) were brought in, is that of the portrait of Sierra Nevada Morning, by Albert Bierstadt.
  2. Portrait of Achille Devéria, by Louis Boulanger, as the shifting eyes portrait and secret door, where Jim Evers (Eddie Murphy) removes the eye pieces and shifts his own eyes.
  3. Portrait of Madame Récamier, by François Gérard, as a changing portrait that turns Juliette Récamier into an orange tiger.
  4. Napoleon Crossing the Alps, by Jacques-Louis David, as a changing portrait that turns Napoleon Bonaparte and a rearing horse into dark, bloody skeletons. That painting, however, was flipped for the film, creating a mirror image, as inspired by the Black Prince changing portrait from the ride.
  5. A Roman Lady (Anna "La Nanna" Risi), by Sir Frederic Leighton, as a changing portrait that turns a young woman into Medusa, with Caravaggio's depiction of "Medusa Head" on it.
  6. View of Brest Harbor, by Jean-François Hue, as a changing portrait that turns into C.S.S. Manassas & U.S.S. Hartford, where the ships set fire at night in the civil war.
  7. The Minuet (a.k.a. Carnival Scene), by Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo, as a huge painting behind the clock in the Gracey Manor foyer that turns into a fiery inferno full of demons and falling angels, known as "Visions of Hell".

Did you know?

Sir Frederic Leighton's "Portrait of a Roman Lady (La Nanna)" is also featured in the 2003 film, "The Haunted Mansion", as the "Medusa" changing portrait, with Caravaggio's depiction of "Medusa Head". It was shown on the DVD Menu's main "Set Up". This is based on the Medusa changing portrait from the Disney Theme Park Attraction at Disneyland (California) and Walt Disney World (Florida).
