Description

Early 1953 Zorro Productions document by "Walter E. Disney"

DS, signed “Walter E. Disney,” two pages, 8.5 x 11, March 17, 1953. Document headed "Minutes of a Special Meeting of the Board of Directors of Walt Disney Incorporated," in part: "The President…announced that the corporation should open two bank accounts, one in the name of Walt Disney Incorporated and the other in the name of Zorro Productions." Boldly signed at the conclusion by Disney as president and countersigned by William J. Hyland as secretary. In fine condition. Disney planned to create a Zorro television series and use the profits to help finance Disneyland, setting up Zorro Productions for this purpose in 1953. However, the series was put on hold during its early planning stages. Disney returned to the project years later in 1957, and successfully launched the series with Guy Williams in the title role.
