40 years ago on 4/13/80 “Disney’s Wonderful World” presented “Disney’s Oscar Winners”, an episode that was airing at the time of the airing of the Academy Awards on Monday 4/14/20, back when it was given yearly in April.
It’s a pleasant special showing the history of the studio in earning many Oscars over the decades, with John Forsythe narrating, who was currently the voice of Charlie on “Charlie’s Angels”, this being his only Disney project.
Walt Disney won more Academy Awards than any other filmmaker. There are reasons for it. Dick Van Dyke says in “Mary Poppins”, “When you’re with Mary Poppins suddenly you’re in places you never dreamed of. The most unusual things begin to happen.” The same words could describe what Walt Disney did in his career, the most influential filmmaker in history, touching people around the world from the time they are children till the time of old age.
