History YMMV / WaltDisneyPresents

* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: ''Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color'' came during a time when color television was still a novelty and the show was responsible for a huge increase of sale in color TV sets. Heck, 50% of the nation didn't own a color TV until 1972. Thankfully Von Drake's humour and animation still make the special entertaining even after this novelty has long worn off.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: In ''The Mickey Mouse 40th Anniversary Show'', was ''WesternAnimation/PlaneCrazy'' Mickey really incapable of speaking in nothing but squeaks and squawks? Or was he just being a Main/{{troll}} to his modern self? It should be noted that Mickey back in his early shorts was [[CharacterizationMarchesOn originally]] much more of a mischievous and jerkish AntiHero compared to the more mellowed-out everyman he became in later shorts, so the latter interpretation would not be out of character.

** In 1955, an episode of the ''Disneyland'' television show entitled "Man and the Moon" aired, featuring none other than former Nazi rocket scientist Wernher von Braun discussing the potential of the Apollo program. ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheDialOfDestiny'', produced by Disney, features a NoCelebritiesWereHarmed version of von Braun as the antagonist disinterested in space travel and more interested in time travel.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: The 1958 christmas special, ''From All of Us to All of You'', while obscure in the US, has aired in the nordic countries every year since 1959 and in Sweden, is considered to be one of ''the'' christmas specials, with over a huge percentage of the country watching it every year during Christmas eve.

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: The 1958 christmas special, "From All of Us to All of You", while obscure everywhere else, is practically considered to be one of ''the'' annual Christmas specials over in Sweden, with it being watched by 40 to 50 percent of the country (which is almost ''half'' the country) every year it airs.

** In an animated segment of "Our Friend the Atom," we have a genie from the Arabian Nights story of "The Fisherman and the Genie", who notably has blue skin, much like the [[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} more well-known one.]] The ''Haunted Closet'' blog took the comparison even further by comparing [[http://the-haunted-closet.blogspot.com/2009/07/space-ace-1984.html this genie to]] Commander Borf from Creator/DonBluth 's VideoGame/SpaceAce, with Bluth himself being an animator at Disney by the time the episode aired.

** The November 1954 showing of ''WesternAnimation/AliceInWonderland'' opened with Walt explaining the British Christmas tradition of telling stories like ''Literature/{{Aladdin}}'' and ''Literature/BeautyAndTheBeast'', two stories that Disney had planned to adapt for TV, but would instead end up release as animated movies in [[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} 1992]] and [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast '91]].

** Donald's "Nightmare sequence" in "Down and out with Donald Duck". The whole thing.

** Donald's "Nightmare sequence" in Down and out with Donald Duck. The whole thing.

** The science-fiction parody in "Mars and Beyond" is one big fat CrowningMomentOfFunny. It is a rapid-pace chase scene with a quick cameo by a certain [[WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck angry bird]].

* BileFascination: Creator/DisneyPlus subscribers developed this for ''[[Series/TheMickeyMouseClub The Mouseketeers]] at Ride/WaltDisneyWorld'' after the service posted a rip of a VHS recording in July 2020, providing a look at WDW's infancy and an hour of '70s camp complete with period-appropriate commercials.

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: The version of the [[ColorfulSong Spectrum Song]] featured on ''Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color'' features this bit:

* OlderThanTheyThink: Decades before surround sound home theaters became common, Walt Disney had some cities telecast "The Peter Tchaikovsky Story" in stereophonic audio by playing additional audio tracks over the radio. Because this could not be arranged in all markets, two versions of the episode were created. Both versions are included on the Platinum Edition release of ''Disney/SleepingBeauty''.

* EnsembleDarkHorse: Of all the programs that were played, the most remembered are undoubtedly the Davy Crockett episodes.

* EarWorm: "The world is a carousel of color..."
** Basically, all of the theme songs.
** "From all of us to all of you, a very merry Christmas..."
** "Davy! Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier."
** "I've got those green with envy blues..."
** "[[ColorfulSong Red yellow green red blue blue blue red purple green yellow orange red red...]]"

* ArchivePanic: The entire series ran for 1,224 episodes! Even if you limit binge watching them to just the episodes hosted by Creator/WaltDisney himself, you still have a staggering 334 to watch!

* RetroactiveRecognition: The Osmond Brothers made their TV debut as a child barbershop quartet in the 1962 episode "Disneyland After Dark". The later appeared in the 1970 episode "Disneyland Showtime".
