Hi, and welcome to my online column!

I'll be your guide for a look "backstage" at all kinds of entertainment - brought to you by myself and other contributors in various creative fields... some wishing to remain anonymous!

Here you'll find articles and interviews detailing the creation of Disney films and attractions, and the history behind them. We'll give you a peak inside the Disney Studio and other places that make the magic.  We'll talk about how Disney has influenced other artists and other studios, creating new works that have carried (or tried to carry) the same spirit.

But we won't be limited to Disney stories - we'll also talk about people and places elsewhere in entertainment history that you might not be aware of - but will hopefully appreciate as much as we do.

There will also be a few reviews and sneak previews of new films and attractions - some never before seen anywhere else.

...And I'll include some sources of information (website addresses or names of books you can find at your local bookstore or library) if there's a subject that you might want to know more about.

Enjoy! 

- Destiny
