Haha thats pretty neat.
ubermannAug 19, 2010
What's also neat is that the name Wendy comes from a fictional character as well. It never existed before Peter Pan.
skurtAug 19, 2010
And Disney's Peter Pan came out in 1953, 10+ years before the letter of '64...

He most likely had a secretary that he dictated everything to and then signed. I think it's amazing that he even responded, especially since she was asking about non-Disney characters.

Very cool. I like how Walt Disney's personality shows in the very short letter to the other Walter.
atarioAug 19, 2010
I like how it took a month for Disney to write back, but Lantz wrote right away.
1badAug 19, 2010
Maybe because one was a in response to a letter from some random girl and the other was in response to a letter from Walt Disney.
akronite14Aug 19, 2010
Disney got a letter from a little girl.
Lantz got a letter from Walt f**king Disney.
atarioAug 19, 2010
"Would you be quicker to open a letter from some random person or one with Walt Disney as the sender."
Assuming they both arrived at the same time, I'd probably open them within the same 10-minute span.Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.

There's actually no evidence that I've ever seen that he was a racist/nazi other than the jokes that fly around. The Disney universe Family Guy scene was my favourite.

Indubitably! That cat Disney was tops!
thanakarAug 18, 2010
Would have been more believable had they included the picture.
arfikeAug 19, 2010
In the age of internet, perhaps. In 1964, probably not.
tntbassAug 18, 2010
So... did she get her picture of Woody Woodpecker?
I know Walt Disney sent her a picture of him and his "friends", but there was no mention from the other Walt.
joemanmanAug 18, 2010
Lantz probably doodled one up, that's what it sounds like at least.
uglymoodAug 18, 2010
I met Walter Lantz while clerking at a store in the mid-80s, and he drew me a Woody Woodpecker picture on the spot when I recognized him. (Yeah, I'm that geeky about animation.) I'm sure Wendy got her picture.
tntbassAug 18, 2010

That part made me wonder what the Walts said to eachother about Bugs Bunny previous to this letter.

Probably not much. I think he was referring to the girl mentioning Bugs at the end, even though neither Walt has anything to do with Bugs Bunny.

Um, Woody is a name (Toy Story, anyone?) and a woodpecker is a bird. It's completely lacking in innuendo.
