Well I'm back from LA, and to celebrate the occasion, in the authors note I asked you guys to posted facts about the Disney Studio, company, or the animation studio in the comment section.

Well that was what I originally wanted, but it turns out people were also posting facts none related to the Disney Studio. I didn't want them to go to waste so..... I did some editing and I'm changing the theme of this update.

Well here is the first set of those facts, more shall be on the way depending on how many more themed facts I receive from you guys.

So like I said before, you all will be given credit for your fact if it is featured in this or any future updates.

I hope you all enjoy!

Oh, and before I forget, thank you all for over 600 votes and over 300 comments! :D
