Join us on January 12 and 13, 2019 for two Special Events at the
"Walking With Giants" 5th Anniversary Special Event Weekend!
The Sherman Brothers - Walking With Giants 5th Anniversary Dinner Event
Saturday, January 12, 2019 - 5:30 p.m. @ The Smoke House Restaurant
Celebrate the magic and the music of The Sherman Brothers at our "The Sherman Brothers - Walking With Giants" 5th Anniversary Dinner Event at The Smoke House Restaurant in Burbank, California. With its close proximity to The Walt Disney Studios, The Smoke House was a favorite lunch and afterwork hang-out for many Imagineers, Animators, Cast Members and employees that not only worked at Disney, but also at the Warner Brothers Studios, Universal Studios, NBC Studios and many others.
Joining us will be Robbie Sherman, son of Robert B. Sherman and nephew of Richard M. Sherman—The Sherman Brothers.
Also joining us will be Historian Greg Ehrbar. Greg will talk about the musical song writing of The Sherman Brothers and how they helped propel a certain famous Mouseketeer on The Mickey Mouse Club to even greater fame as a Hollywood icon—Annette Funicello.
Though Greg has worked as a creative consultant on the Walt Disney World Christmas Day Parade over six times, Greg is primarily known as a writer. His best selling book, co-authored with Tim Hollis, Mouse Tracks: The Story of Walt Disney Records (2006), was the first comprehensive history of Walt Disney’s in-studio recording company, with a forward by Leonard Maltin and endorsement by Roy E. Disney. He is a two-time Grammy nominated writer/producer whose work in books, television, radio, recordings audio and advertising has been seen by millions worldwide. He has adapted major Disney, Pixar, Hanna-Barera, Dr. Seuss and other properties into books, graphic novels and audio. Greg's latest project has him providing DVD commentary with Jon Favreau, Henry Slick Kevin Lima and others for the latest DVD re-release of the classic television Christmas program, Rankin/Bass "Santa Claus is Comin' To Town".
