Overview
- Disney unveiled a new poster featuring Walt Disney scouting the Anaheim orange grove with Sleeping Beauty Castle faintly overlaid.
- The film spotlights the one-year construction push to Opening Day on July 17, 1955, honoring the work of hundreds of craftspeople and Imagineers.
- Producer-director Leslie Iwerks—granddaughter of Ub Iwerks and daughter of Disney Legend Don Iwerks—leads the project.
- Iwerks’ team digitized over 100 hours of rarely seen archives, including unused 16mm reels, to present an unpolished, fly-on-the-wall view of 1955.
- A premiere event on the Walt Disney Studios lot in Burbank is planned later this week, according to reports from fan outlets.
