Khellian had been curious about this subject since he'd entered the Tivoli Gardens, and had the nature of the area explained to him. He would certainly be taking them up on their offer, but the building had to be cleaned and slightly altered to be a domicile and doctor's office. He'd returned to his temporary quarters and his mind kept going back to the 'disneyland' and the 'imagineers'. Stroking his fingers along his browridge he settled down on the couch with a PADD. "Computer- inquiry"

"State inquiry"

"Disneyland"

"Disneyland Park, originally Disneyland, is the first of two theme parks built at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California, opened on July 17, 1955. It became one of 7 major disney themed parks in the world. Anaheim is the only theme park designed and built under the direct supervision of Walt Disney. It consists of eight themed "lands" and a number of concealed backstage areas, and occupies approximately 100 acres of land. The park opened with Main Street, U.S.A., Adventureland, Frontierland, Fantasyland, and Tomorrowland, with New Orleans Square, Micky's Toontown and Star Wars Land being added to the park in expansions. It was declared a historic monument in 2055, after having been partially destroyed in 2035 by nuclear fallout..."

"Computer pause, who is Walt Disney?"

"Walter Elias Disney born December 5, 1901 and died December 15, 1966 was an American entrepreneur, animator, voice actor and film producer. He is most notably the founder of The Walt Disney Company and the creater of Mickey Mouse and considered to be a pioneer in the field of cartooning and animation."

"Display Mickey Mouse."

"There have been several iterations of Mickey Mouse, the original done in black and white." The image of Mickey Mouse, the original appeared on his PADD, then the next one appeared beside it in color, then a more modern version.

"That's cute" he muttered as his fingers traced the lines of the cartoon mouse. "Humans have such a large capacity for whimsy. Computer, what are some of the cartoons that Disney created."

"There are over 400 shorts, animated movies, live action movies, cartoons and television programs created by Disney and their affiliates. Please specify type."

A brief period of thought had him silent for a moment. Of all those, since he pioneered the animated movie it would only be right to watch one and see what the fuss had been about. It intrigued him that this little bit of history had persisted to such an extent. "Animated movie"

A list began scrolling filled with titles and dates produced, Khellian was almost overwealmed by the sheer amount of choice even when hed narrowed it down. "Pause playback" At random he pointed his finger at the PADD and found that it had landed upon the movie entitled 'Brave'. "That seems interesting enough of a title. Please play Brave for me."

A holoscreen came down so he could watch the film comfortably. The lights in his quarters dimmed and the sound of 'When you wish upon a star' began to play as the bright golden castle appeared after the camera panned down the river on the holoscreen. His interested face was lit in the shower of magical sparks that arched over the castle.
