This is the ceremony held at Disneyland in celebration of Walt Disney's 100th birthday. It features various figures giving speeches, including Disney Legend John Hench as the Partners statue by Blaine Gibson is rededicated. However, the highlight is Disney Legend Richard M. Sherman singing Feed the Birds from Mary Poppins. This was Walt's favorite song.

This clip has often been excerpted but the full ceremony has been seldom seen. It's an important part of Walt Disney history demonstrating how his company used to revere the ideals of its founder rather than defile them.

Original airdate December 5, 2001
