Walt Disney Productions (later The Walt Disney Company) has produced an anthology television series under several different titles since 1954: *''Disneyland'' (1954–1959) *''Walt Disney Presents'' (1959–1961) *''Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color'' (1961–1969) *''The Wonderful World of Disney'' (first era; 1969–1979) *''Disney's Wonderful World'' (1979–1981) *''Walt Disney'' (1981–1983) *''The Wonderful World of Disney'' (second era; 1983-1988) *''The Disney Sunday Movie'' (1986–1988; titled ''Disney Summer Classics'' during the summer months) *''The Wonderful World of Disney'' (third era; 1991–present) *''The Magical World of Disney'' (1988–2002) *''The Magical World of Disney Junior'' (2012–present) The original version of the series premiered on ABC on Wednesday, October 27, 1954. The same basic series has since appeared on several networks. The show is the second longest running prime-time program on American television, behind rival film anthology, the ''Hallmark Hall of Fame''. However, ''Hallmark Hall of Fame'' aired as a weekly program during its first five seasons before becoming a bi-monthly program, while ''Disney'' remained a weekly program for more than 40 years. ==Overview== Originally hosted by Walt Disney himself, the original format of the Disney anthology series consisted of a balance of theatrical animated cartoons, live-action features, and other informational material (some original, some pre-existing) from the studio's library. For many years, the show also featured edited one-hour versions of such then-recent Disney films as ''Alice in Wonderland'', and in other cases, telecasts of complete Disney films that were split into two or more one-hour episodes. Later original programs consisted of dramatizations of other historical figures and legends along the lines of the Davy Crockett mini-series. These included a miniseries based on Daniel Boone (not the Fess Parker characterization), Texas John Slaughter, Elfego Baca, Francis Marion, the "Swamp Fox", and 1977's ''Kit Carson and the Mountain Man'' (with Christopher Connelly as Kit Carson, Robert Reed as John C. Fremont, and Gregg Palmer as mountain man Jim Bridger). Occasionally, a more educational-based segment would be featured (such as ''The Story of the Animated Drawing''), including nature and animal programs similar to the ''True-Life Adventures'' that were released in theatres, as well as various dramatic installments which were either structured as single-part, two-part, and sometimes, multi-part editions. .〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0402635/combined )〕 Much of the original informational excerpts were to create awareness for Disneyland. In spite of essentially serving as advertisements for the park, entertainment value was emphasized as well to make the shows palatable. Some of the program's informational content was formatted to promote upcoming feature film releases by the studio (such as ''20,000 Leagues Under the Sea'' and ''Darby O'Gill and the Little People''), with some programs focusing on the art and technology of animation itself. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Walt Disney anthology television series」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
