WWTD 198 - Almost Angels: Low Stakes Mischief

Ol' Walt used to get inspiration for his movies from all sorts of places. His daughters beloved books, timeless folklore, heck even a mountain one time. So it's not all that surprising that when he happened to catch a performance of the Vienna Boys' Choir during his travels, he called up the studio with the latest hot idea. The result is ALMOST ANGELS, a film that is part mild early-60s Disney output, part straight-up promotional video for those high-singing Austrian boys. It's a little bit charming, a lotta bit nuts, and all-in-all pretty par for the course when it comes to our strange Disney journey so far.
