My parents taped this for me in 1991 and I hadn't seen it since then. I converted it to DVD since someone wanted it for a tape trade so I got to see it today. It is a 2 hour long special focusing on Disney from basically 1939-1991 (yes that is more than 50 years). They covered a lot in two hours. Had lots of behind the scenes things, lots of archive footage of Walt Disney. I learned a lot in it. I was just wondering if anyone else has seen this. Here is the IMDB link. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0229250/

I also have another special my parents taped me called The Best of Disney a Legacy in a Song.

I uploaded the opening to youtube for all of you. :)

I also taped this special when it first aired, though I didn't start recording it untill sometime after it had started. It's been awhile since I last watched this special, but I know that my copy starts sometime around when somebody talked about Hollywood Pictures and Touchstone pictures.

I liked this special. i like the sequence where several big-name stars provide voices for their characters, when a modern-day Mickey Mouse talks to a Steamboat Willie-era Mickey Mouse (though I know that this wasn't produced for the special), and when Dick Van Dyke talked to Roger Rabbit.

yeah, that was neat. I liked seeing Bob Newhart doing the voice for Bernard of The Rescuers.
