Disney invited me and a few others into the secret halls of Walt Disney Imagineering to learn how they are bringing their founder back to life through the magic of Audio-Animatronics for Walt Disney - A Magical Life for Disneyland's 70th anniversary, and it is shaping up to be a project filled with respect authenticity, incredible little details, and a ton of Disney magic I can't wait to tell you about.
