“Lilo and Stitch” was released on this day in 2002. Directed by Dean DeBlois and Chris Sanders, it is one of three films produced entirely at Walt Disney Feature Animation’s satellite studio in Orlando, Florida right inside of Disney-MGM Studios.

Happy 30th anniversary to “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” (1996), one of Walt Disney Feature Animation’s most underrated and daring movies. Adapting Victor Hugo’s novel to drawings, including some by the legendary James Baxter, is an achievement and a send off to the Katzenberg era.

“Who Framed Roger Rabbit” was released on this day in 1988.

Happy 35th anniversary to The Rocketeer. Directed by Joe Johnston.

These Spielberg blockbusters premiered in June across Hollywood history. “Raiders of the Lost Ark” (1981) “E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial” (1982) “Jurassic Park” (1993) All went on to become major influences among many filmmakers and theme park attractions.

51 years ago, the first Hollywood blockbuster was released. Steven Spielberg terrified audiences with “Jaws” (1975). Filmed on location at Martha’s Vineyard and the Atlantic Ocean with a mechanical shark, it was the first to gross $100 million at the box office.

Anniversaries of James Horner scores this year. “An American Tail” (1986) - 40th “The Rocketeer” (1991) - 35th “An American Tail: Fievel Goes West” (1991)

THE ROCKETEER with it’s amazing James Horner score. This shoulda been a franchise.

"The Rocketeer" film itself was directed by Joe Johnston, who had worked for ILM as a visual effects artist and art director on "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Temple of Doom." He also directed an episode of "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles" (the Tom Swift inspired "Princeton, February 1916").

Tomorrow is the 35th anniversary of “The Rocketeer”. Joe Johnston’s cult classic with a roaring score by James Horner. EPCOT’s Soarin’ and the former Fountain of Nations featuring excerpts of his score. Hollywood Studios has Peevy's Frozen Concoctions named after Alan Arkin’s character.
