Marcelo VignaliGUEST
And Walt had passed away just like, I think, probably the year before.
Marcelo VignaliGUEST
So they were still playing The Wonderful World of Disney on television.
Marcelo VignaliGUEST
It was a show that he hosted.
Marcelo VignaliGUEST
And so we were watching that show and, you know, that's where you got to learn everything about like what Disney was doing, everything from the animation to the theme park design, watching the animatronics for Abraham Lincoln, how the animators studied to make some of the movies that they were making.
GinaGUEST

Kevin QuigleyHOST
You know, Bear Country was like this whole thing.
Kevin QuigleyHOST
When Wonderful World of Color came out as the World of Color show, I was like, what? You know, that's a cool name for a show, I guess.
Kevin QuigleyHOST
But what is it? And then you find out that it was an attraction to Disneyland and that it was a show.
Kevin QuigleyHOST
And so I love discovering that stuff.
Sabrina BryanHOST

Will FriedleHOST
Uh, A Knight in Camelot first aired on November 8th, 1998 as part of ABC's Wonderful World of Disney series, which always means a bigger budget than your typical DCOM fare.
Will FriedleHOST
And we usually see that type of spending with a more star-studded cast.
Will FriedleHOST
But here it's never been more evident than with its shooting location.

Will FriedleHOST
So, uh, here we go.
Will FriedleHOST
This is King Me.
Will FriedleHOST
With this DCOM, which is really A Wonderful World of Disney, and apparently so many other movies, we watch the story of a king.
Will FriedleHOST
So in honor of their majesties, we will get the name of an actor, and we have to pick which king they played in a movie.
Colby SmithHOST
A Disney connection? Yes, there is.
Colby SmithHOST
A 1977 appearance on The Wonderful World of Disney, but before Charlie's Angels, Olsen was a regular on The Nancy Walker Show, playing Nancy Walker's secretary, Terry.
Colby SmithHOST
Why is this noteworthy? The character Terry was gay.
Colby SmithHOST
And contemporary and later television histories identify him as the first gay male character who was a regular or central character on an American television series.
8 MINS LATER
Colby SmithHOST
He was nominated for a 1969 Emmy for his performance.
Colby SmithHOST
Other fun appearances we always enjoy mentioning.
Colby SmithHOST
The Twilight Zone, Night Gallery, The Wonderful World of Disney in 1977, Wonder Woman in 1978, voices and animated hits such as C-Lab 2020, the all-new Popeye Hour, and Super Friends.
Colby SmithHOST
Chris, we know what everyone else is up to.

Ike EisenmannGUEST
I got, I have an answer.
Ike EisenmannGUEST
Um, it was working on a, a Wonderful World of Disney project called, uh, Kit Carson and the Mountain Men, and it was a absolutely rip-roaring fun shoot for me, 'cause it was all 1800s, um, mountain men, horses, you know, leather, leather pants and jackets and, you know, and just this huge cast of, of wild character actors.
Ike EisenmannGUEST
And the, the man who was cast to be, uh, the actor who was cast to be the, the villain was, uh, Gary Lockwood, and I was a- an overwhelmingly huge fan of Gary and an even bigger, larger fan of 2001: A Space Odyssey, the, the science fiction film.
John LayfieldHOST
Right.
JoniHOST
And that is when Walt Disney Productions later packaged the movie for DVD releases via the Disney Movie Club.
JoniHOST
The boxes frequently boasted that it was part of Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color or the Wonderful World of Disney.
JoniHOST
the anthology series that historically won seven Emmy Awards.
JoniHOST
However, those accolades belong to the TV series as a whole rather than this film solely.
JoniHOST
So they just kind of threw them in there to get them out and have people watch them.
JoniHOST
So despite the heavy promotional push common for Disney's live action historical adventure, the movie was a commercial disappointment.
JoniHOST
Critical panning and weak word of mouth meant it failed to recoup its location scouting and productions costs during the initial theatrical run, leading Disney to pivot and quickly transition the film to television broadcasts on the Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color anthology
Nick GarciaHOST
series, which we just spoke of.
Jason DedrickHOST
You know what this should have been? This should have been two hour...
Jason DedrickHOST
Wonderful World of Disney things.
Eric FellHOST
Yeah.
Eric FellHOST
It did have a very Disney TV movie feel to it, but obviously it had a bigger budget.
Jason DedrickHOST
You know what this should have been? This should have been two hour episodes.
Jason DedrickHOST
Wonderful World of Disney things.

Yeah.
