Summary:

"In 1925, two enterprising brothers named Walt and Roy Disney decided to go into the movie business together, establishing the Disney Bros. Studio in Los Angeles. Since then, Walt Disney Studios has released hundreds of groundbreaking and entertaining shorts, full-length feature films, and television programs in both animation and live action, garnering countless awards and accolades, as well as critical recognition and commercial success. Walt was never a man to rest on his laurels, and, as such, the Disney Studio continues to surpass itself, innovating new technology, pioneering groundbreaking techniques, and accruing higher box office returns with every passing decade. The studio's progression has consistently reflected the modernization and advancements in the filmmaking process, much of which has taken place on the Burbank lot. The studio has evolved considerably over the years as technology, tastes, and executive regimes have changed. The stories behind the soundstages, office buildings, landscapes, and facilities are as fascinating as the productions developed and filmed there. A wonderful history of the Walt Disney Studio comes alive within these pages. Discover how and why the edifices seen in the movies and on numerous TV shows were designed, built, and used, as well as which hit movies and television shows emerged from those very structures. The Walt Disney Studios celebrates Walt Disney's dream factory, which has always been and continues to be, the heart of The Walt Disney Company. From Pinocchio and Fantasia and World War II propaganda films to the Disneyland TV show, and Mary Poppins to Pirates of the Caribbean, some of the company's most monumental and iconic creations have been brought to life at the studio. So park your car in the Zorro lot, take a stroll down Mickey Avenue, have lunch at the commissary, and get ready for an insider's tour ... for this is the Walt Disney Studios like it's never been seen before."--Dust jacket.
