My guess is that is is probably not the "Grand canyon" short "in story" stage the 1945 annual report mentions since the short and the featurette heavily rely on a format (CinemaScope) that had not been invented then. Or, they could have been in preproduction for so long than the artists adapted them to the new format? I don't know, maybe you're right<BR/><BR/>SDSébastien Durandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15830530585468160589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20219340.post-10212720508932575172008-05-20T04:02:00.000-07:002008-05-20T04:02:00.000-07:00Disney did produce the two shorts Grand CanyonScop...Disney did produce the two shorts <I>Grand CanyonScope</I> (12/23/1954) and <I>Grand Canyon</I> (12/17/1958). The first 7 minute animated CinemaScope short has Donald Duck visiting the Grand Canyon as Ranger Woodlore narrates its various attractions. It is found on the <I>20,000 Leagues Under The Sea</I> DVD set released in 2004.<BR/><BR/>The second is a 29 minute live action featurette showing scenes from the Grand Canyon set to Ferde Grofé's "Grand Canyon Suite." It can be found on the 2003 <I>Sleeping Beauty Special Edition</I> DVD, as it was shown with <I>Sleeping Beauty</I> on its initial run. This, too, was produced in CinemaScope.<BR/><BR/>Whether any of these two was the project originally mentioned in the 1945 Annual Report, I do not know.Hans Perkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12707924880609997693noreply@blogger.com
