Disneyland Dream

"Disneyland Dream" the enchanting 1956 amateur documentary film by Robbins Barstow of Wethersfield, CT is one of 25 films selected to the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress.

Under the terms of the National Film Preservation Act, the Librarian of Congress each year names 25 movies to the national registry that are "culturally, historically or aesthetically" significant, to be preserved for all time.

"Disneyland Dream" was named along with classics like "Deliverance", "Terminator" and "The Asphalt Jungle".

"With this year's list, the registry now includes 500 films and stands as a matchless record of the amazing creativity America has brought to the movies since the early 1890s," Librarian of Congress James Billington said in a statement. "Both as a public-awareness tool and as an educational learning aid for students, the registry helps this nation understand the diversity of America's film heritage and, just as importantly, the need for its preservation. The nation has lost about half of the films produced before 1950 and as much as 90 percent of those made before 1920. In addition, more and more nitrate-based and acetate-based films are deteriorating with the passage of time."
