Snow White

We landed in the lobby of the Happy Times Movie Theater.

Walt Disney looked really confused. And he had a lot of questions. I like it when a person has a lot of questions.

“Where are we? How did we get here? What is this place?” He didn’t give us a chance to reply. “It looks like a movie theater, but what are these posters?” He was standing by a long wall covered with movie posters. “I’ve heard of Buster Keaton and Greta Garbo, but never John Wayne or Frank Sinatra.”

He dragged his finger across the last poster in the hall. “And who made Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs into an animated movie?!” The last question wasn’t really a question but a demand.

I was about to answer but didn’t get the chance.

“You did,” Bo said. “We brought you to Happy Times to see the movie on this poster.”

I stuck my finger in my ear to clear out the wax. I had to make sure I heard him right. Bo never talks loudly. And never, ever to an adult. “What are you doing?” I asked him.

Bo looked at me and said, “Since it was my idea to come here, I should be the one to show Walt Disney his future.”

I patted Bo on the back. “Go for it!”

“You made Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” Bo told Walt Disney while pointing at the poster on the wall. “It was the first feature-length animated film. Snow White was released four days before Christmas in nineteen thirty-seven. We brought you here to see the movie.”

“I did?! If I made the story of Snow White into a movie, I think I’d remember.” Walt Disney snorted. “Oh, I nearly forgot. You’re showing me the future.” He still thought we were making up a wild story.

Walt Disney studied the theater lobby. The theater was built to look like an old-time movie house, so he didn’t see anything too modern. The carpet was red velvet. There was a chandelier hanging from the lobby ceiling. All the decorations were old-fashioned. Not necessarily from 1928, but close enough.

Walt Disney looked around again and said, “If we are in the future, then the world has not changed at all.”

Zack suggested that we take Mr. Disney to the bathroom and show him the automatic flushing toilets. Bo reminded Zack that this trip was about movies, not potties.

“I do not understand how we left the recording studio,” Walt Disney said. “But I have no money, no job, and nothing to do. If you children want to pay for me to relax and see a movie, I will not argue. As much as I like entertaining other people, I love to be entertained myself.”

“Good thing I brought my coin purse,” I said as I headed to the ticket booth, leaving the boys to keep Walt Disney busy.

CeCe was at the ticket counter.

“Shoot!” I muttered under my breath.

“Hi,” I said as cheerfully as possible. “I need five tickets.”

“Aren’t you supposed to be at History
