Anyone creating a "Disney web site" utilizes their own artistic talents to stand upon the shoulders of so very many other talented artists. Had it not been for the imagination, determination, and administration of Walt Disney and the dozens and the hundreds and the thousands and the legions that may forever remain unsung, each and every one of us would have passed our days in a much less happy place.

Here we celebrate the Magic that we have experienced as a result of the talents of these Disney artists -- from storyboarder ...to animator ...to composer ...to imagineer ...to cast member -- in the tributes we weave and cast and conjure upon this digital web. We don't own the tributes we offer, any more than we own the buttons on Mickey's pants or the gleam from Jiminy Cricket's badge...yet we do possess them.

On this page we pay tribute to those who have contributed to the offerings we lay before you...to those who have allowed us to utilize their efforts to help us shape our testament to the magic which has so inspired us all.

Thanks to BoingBoing.net for sending me more hits in one Sunday morning than I'd gotten all that month!
