Inspired by the golden age of Hollywood in the 1930s, the land is a tribute to old Hollywood. Big epic pictures, especially pioneering director D. W. Griffith’s 1916 silent film Intolerance, seem to permeate the land.
Imagineering Highlights!
- Forced Perspective The End of the street in Hollywood Land is a great forced perspective to make the street look a lot longer. Its worth a visit to check it out.
- Go to the Animation Building – Just inside the lobby there is an amazing place. The music interacts with the wall with the projections and it gives a sense of real immersion as it changes songs. Its a great place to take a load off and just enjoy the music.
- Sorcerer’s Workshop – This is Disney Imagineering at its best, and its really off the beaten path. Go all the way to the end to the Beast’s Library and just hang out. Pay attention to how the scenes change as the rose loses its petals.
