Disney collectors and enthusiasts now have a chance to get their hands on decades of coveted Disney memorabilia dating back to the 1950s. (CNN) - Disney collectors and enthusiasts now have a chance to get their hands on decades of coveted Disney memorabilia dating back to the 1950s. The History of Disneyland & Walt Disney World auction, hosted by Van Eaton Galleries, will offer a collection of more than 1,500 collectible relics from the Disney dynasty. Early documents will be auctioned off alongside whimsical theme park props, ride vehicles, art and iconic set pieces. Disney fans will easily recognize several pieces in the auction lineup, including two original animatronic tiki birds from the Enchanted Tiki Room at Disney World, hand-painted "stretch-paintings" from the Haunted Mansions in both Disney parks, and an Opening Day Guidebook signed by Walt Disney himself.
Why would the most dominant media company in the world invest billions of dollars in order to create a new unit in its already lucrative business? "Disney is fully committed to streaming because they think that streaming is going to be at the core of the whole company going forward."

Critics argued that Walt Disney was risking his studio's reputation with a risky film that no one would sit through. But the man positioned to head that new company is in talks to lead another major undertaking: a rescue mission for WeWork.
Critics argued that Walt Disney was risking his studio's reputation with a risky film that no one would sit through. "Snow White," the first animated feature in America, became a blockbuster that helped make Disney the company it is today. The company's much-anticipated streaming service debuts on Tuesday in the United States, Canada and the Netherlands. For Disney and its CEO Bob Iger, Disney+ represents a major shift in the company's business focus. "Disney already has a direct connection to consumers," Barnes told CNN Business.
HOLLYWOOD, Calif. - It's early days for Disney+, but the opening original-programming salvo for the new streaming service looks a whole lot like "The Mandalorian" -- the first live-action "Star Wars" series -- and the seven dwarfs. Disney hasn't made "The Mandalorian" available for review, unconvincingly citing a desire to ensure that all its surprises remain spoiler-free. Based on previews, the company certainly appears to have brought feature-film production values to the project, but time will tell. Kristen Bell hosts and produces this show that brings together former high school classmates to restage a musical from their younger days. "High School Musical: The Musical: The Series" premieres Nov. 8 on ABC, Disney Channel and Freeform.
