In 1959, Disneyland underwent one of its most significant expansions since its opening in 1955. To showcase these exciting new attractions, Walt Disney partnered with Kodak to create a promotional film titled "Kodak Presents: Walt Disney’s Magic Kingdom", sometimes simply referred to as Walt Disney Presents (1959).

This film was produced to highlight Disneyland's massive expansion, which included:

Kodak was a major sponsor of Disneyland at the time, and their branding was tied to promoting Disneyland as a colorful, picturesque experience. They emphasized using Kodachrome film, which was known for its vibrant colors, to capture memories at the park.
