March 29[edit]

Dear Disney WikiProject!
I have a question about this intro. This was sometime a Disney matine'e in Hungary. In the intro can be found details of old Disney-moovies. I would like to ask which of these movies?

  • where the great fireball
  • where the submarine
  • where the chinese warriors
  • where the Scottish warriors
  • David Tomlinson and the gold fish
  • flying car
  • alligator in yellow shirt

Thank you! Doncsecztalk 08:18, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The scene with David Tomlinson as well as the alligator in the yellow shirt are from Bedknobs and Broomsticks. ---Sluzzelin talk 12:06, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The flying car would be Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, wouldn't it? Chinese warriors is Mulan? --TammyMoet (talk) 12:28, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I think the flying car in the clip is from one of the Herbie films, but I don't know which one. The Asian warrior (not sure he's Chinese) is not animated but an actor in flesh and blood, so he's not from Mulan. ---Sluzzelin talk 12:34, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Submarine's probably 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954 film).--Wehwalt (talk) 12:37, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The fireball is from The Black Hole. Staecker (talk) 15:41, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Scottish warrior looks like Errol Flynn, but I don't think he worked for Disney. Does Errol Flynn look alikes exist? The car is definitely Herbie the Love Bug.--Canoe1967 (talk) 22:42, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think it may be Rob Roy, the Highland Rogue. The costume looks very similar.--Canoe1967 (talk) 23:19, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, everybody! Doncsecztalk 05:21, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I think the Chinese pirate is from Swiss Family Robinson (film). AndrewWTaylor (talk) 16:25, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Amy Winehouse[edit]

Who wrote an unauthorised biography of her, published shortly after her death? Kittybrewster 21:25, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think the first one published may have been Amy, Amy, Amy - The Amy Winehouse Story by Nick Johnstone (updated version). INeverCry 00:08, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Another possibility might be Amy Winehouse: The Biography 1983-2011 by Chas Newkey-Burden, although it's also an updated version. INeverCry 00:15, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
