From what I remember, the story involves little people living in the Storybook Land houses, but nobody knows they are living there.<br /><br />http://www.ebay.com/itm/BIG-LITTLE-BOOK-WALT-DISNEYS-MICKEY-MOUSE-MYSTERY-AT-DISNEYLAND-1975-/272104161441?hash=item3f5aac00a1:g:BncAAOSwzrxUvrJXTokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-69784136576031318222016-01-17T14:40:52.859-08:002016-01-17T14:40:52.859-08:00As a kid, I wanted to find somebody with a shrink-...As a kid, I wanted to find somebody with a shrink-ray and LIVE in that village. Now I'm wondering what that would have been like. <br /><br />I'm guessing that inside those buildings is probably the miniature version of a Hollywood backlot - lots of empty space and unfinished surfaces.

And the second image is definitely a keeper as the 'harsh shadows' make for an interesting "village scape".<br /><br />Thanks, Major.Nanookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07255357829181568172noreply@blogger.com
