The Golden Horseshow Revue was featured on the 14th episode of “The Disney Family Album” and originally aired on the Disney Channel in July of 1985.
Based on the cartoon Pecos Bill, The Golden Horseshoe Revue was an opening day attraction at Disneyland in 1955. It conducted its first performance before Disneyland’s official opening, to celebrate Walt and Lillian’s 40th wedding anniversary and the day before opening as a special event for corporate sponsors. The Golden Horseshoe continues to entertain guests with several live performances and variety shows every day. When this episode of The Disney Family Album was produced, the theater was still running the original “Golden Horseshoe Revue” show – which ran from July 17, 1955 until October 12, 1986. That original show was interrupted by Pecos Bill himself singing his self-titled signature song.
