Painting at Disney's Hollywood Studios

Neighbor Guy sent me a picture he took at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Orlando, Florida back in 2003 (then MGM Studios).

The paintings on the wall show Fred Rogers, Burr Tillstrom, and Jim Henson. According to Guy, these were found in a small section of the park dedicated to television performers -- the section of the park is still there today but the paintings were removed a year or so after this picture was taken.

Visit Studios Central for more on the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Hall of Fame.

Thanks for sharing, Guy!

I am so glad I took this picture (I wish that my thumb wasn't in the bottom left hand corner!)

I always found it interesting that the park had this small tribute to three of the most famous puppeteers in the history of children's television. Too bad they removed it.

I found this site:
http://www.wdwmemories.com/television-hall-fame-picture-001008.html
It has many recent photos of the area.


If you compare it with this photo of me in that area (taken back when the paintings were on display) you can see where they were located:
