1960 Walt Disney releases were “Toby Tyler,” “Kidnapped,” “Pollyanna,” “The Sign of Zorro,” and “Ten Who Dared.” “Swiss Family Robinson” was released during the Christmas holiday week; even though it is often counted in 1960 (where it placed number one) box office results, most of its money was made in 1961. 1961 releases include “101 Dalmatians,” “The Parent Trap,” “The Absent-Minded Professor,” “Nikki: Wild Dog,” “Greyfriars Bobby,” and a Christmas holiday season release of “Babes in Toyland.” All of these films had a first-run at the RKO Palace.
