D23'S "50 AND FABULOUS" SCREENING SERIES: TOBY TYLER, OR 10 WEEKS WITH A CIRCUS, SATURDAY, MARCH 27, 2010
D23 is proud to present the first film in our new "50 and Fabulous" screening series on the historic Walt Disney Studios Lot. Toby Tyler, or 10 Weeks with a Circus, starring Disney Legend Kevin Corcoran, hasn't been seen on the big screen since its release 50 years ago, and what better venue to showcase the film than the recently renovated, state-of-the-art, 400-seat Studio Theatre? The Theatre first screened Fantasia when it opened in 1940, and the craftsmanship and etched glass are inspired by the artistry of that groundbreaking film.

Toby Tyler follows 12-year-old orphan Toby, who runs away from his aunt and uncle's home when he believes they don't want him. Toby joins the circus where he befriends the strong man, is exploited by the concessions seller and becomes pals with a chimpanzee named Mr. Stubbs.
This charming film, released January 21, 1960, stars Disney acting vet Kevin Corcoran (Old Yeller, The Shaggy Dog and Swiss Family Robinson, to name a few of his Disney credits) as well as Henry Calvin and Gene Sheldon (both of whom starred in Zorro and Babes in Toyland).
