"The Sunshine Makers" was directed by Ted Eshbaugh (it's pronounced ESH-bo), an animation pioneer. My father was his accountant and used to tell this story:
    Ted didn't make the first animated cartoon but he was the first to make one in color. Whereupon he heard from a young man in California (Ted was based in New York) named Walt Disney.
    Why don't we join forces, Walt suggested.
    Ted blew him off with a who-needs-you?
    And that's why you've never been to Eshbaughland.
