May 17th 2015: Household Cavalry

Disney did lots of great shit. They brought wonderful nature flicks to the general public. Their time lapse nature stuff like flowers opening and birds hatching, was fabulous. Granted sometimes the story lines to match their footage were ...um, contrived, but they brought us stuff nobody else would, pre-internet. Who else would show you a room full of mousetraps and Ping Pong balls. It was after Walt died that Disney became an evil empire.

I've found a few more images.

Below is the original photo shown only as an inset in the opening post.



The latest scene offered in two versions. I think I prefer the sepia.






Have a look at War Horse comes to Peckham. The scene appears in panorama but click twice on the image and the result is astonishing.

Clicking around on that panorama is fascinating, all the detail you can see.

But what is this on the corner... a mechanical horse ?

There's people inside the horse, probably French.

It's the life-size puppet Joey from the National Theatre's production of War Horse adapted from the book by Michael Morpurgo.
