Shortly after the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941, the Disney studio lot in southern California was requisitioned by the US military as an anti-aircraft
base. Walt Disney and his staff immediately pledged to aid the Allied War effort by devoting their skills to the production of multiple wartime related films, including
training, public service, propaganda and general entertainment titles. Join Disney historians Don Peri and Michael Troyan for a tour of the special exhibit: The Walt Disney Studios and World War II at the Disney Family Museum. Limited enrollment.
