| A special Oscar statuette was awarded to Walt Disney in 1938 by Shirley Temple for 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs' that shows an Oscar figure accompanied by seven 'dwarf' Oscar figures. Upon unveiling the award Shirley Temple exclaimed "Isn't Great Mr. Disney? Aren’t you proud of it Mr. Disney?" Disney replied “I’m so proud I think I’ll bust.” |

| A memorial service was held Jan 10th, 2010 for Roy E. Disney, who passed away in December at the age of 79.
The service was held at the El Capitan Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard. During the service it was announced that the Disney Studios animation building in Burbank will be renamed the Roy E. Disney Animation Building. That's a wonderful tribute to a man who made his own mark on the company founded by his uncle and father. |
