The science fiction, dystopian futures, and darker preoccupations of Ray Bradbury arent the first things that come to mind when someone mentions the word Disney. Yet Bradbury and Walt Disney himself were friends in the latters autumn years. After a chance encounter while Christmas shopping, the two men regularly met to share ideas and enjoy their shared enthusiasms. Bradbury picked up short story ideas from Walt, proselytized for Disneyland, and unsuccessfully tried to sell Walt on running for mayor of Los Angeles. Walt happily blew off his appointments to take Bradbury around the studio and grant him access to the Disney vault. However, Walt was decades in the grave before his studio finally adapted one of Bradbury’s novels for the screen, courtesy of 1983s Something Wicked This Way Comes.
