Overview
- Disney confirms a limited engagement at AMC Burbank Town Center 8 from January 14–20, followed by a January 22 release on Disney+ and Disney’s official YouTube channel.
- Iwerks and her team examined more than 200 reels from the Walt Disney Film Archive to assemble a chronological, on-the-ground view of the park’s creation.
- Because most archival footage was silent, Skywalker Sound crafted a full soundscape, including construction effects that make the scenes feel contemporary.
- The film centers the labor of craftspeople and construction crews, using archival images and voiceover without contemporary talking-head interviews.
- Early screenings, including a blue-carpet premiere on the Walt Disney Studios lot and a Disney Springs showing, reported strong audience reactions, with a runtime just over 70 minutes.
