Overview
- AMC Burbank Town Center 8 is hosting limited screenings from January 14–20 ahead of the digital release.
- An advance showing at AMC Disney Springs featured a Q&A with director Leslie Iwerks, drew a standing ovation, and ran just over 70 minutes.
- Disney confirms a January 22 debut on Disney+ and the company’s official YouTube channel.
- The film assembles never-before-seen archival footage, restored and colorized from 16mm and paired with newly created foley by Skywalker Sound.
- Early reviews note a craftsmen-centered narrative and vérité approach that forgoes modern talking-head interviews to convey the urgency of the 1954–55 build.
