Congratulations to scdak and to me, sophy1996, for turning Amazing Azure!
"D" brings to mind the inspirations for Magic Kingdom and Disneyland attractions Dumbo (1941) and Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier (1955). Also, in 1959, Disney released a film that Walt himself had announced more than ten years earlier: Darby O'Gill and the Little People. Based on stories by Herminie Templeton Kavanagh, the film about an Irish caretaker matching wits with the king of the leprechauns starred Albert Sharpe, Janet Munro, and Sean Connery. Darby O'Gill brought Connery to the attention of Albert R. Broccoli, who of course later cast him as 007 in Dr. No. Interestingly, Darby O'Gill has a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes' Tomatometer!
