Reply to comment by chinese_in_law in TIL that Walt Disney World began as "The Florida Project". Dummy corporations were used, by Walt Disney Productions, to buy up 27,000 acres of land to avoid bursts of land speculation in the Orlando area. Early rumors assumed possible development by NASA, Ford, the Rockefellers, and Howard Hughes. by jdward01

Me neither. Such a good film, Willem Dafoe is brilliant in it. I was sure it was going to do well at the Oscars that year but it fell by the wayside.

Dafoe was great as always, but the little girl absolutely stole the show

That was a really tough year at the Oscars. Unfortunately there was just a ton of really good competition
