Walt Disney's Imagineering Legends and the Genesis of the Disney Theme
Walt Disney’s Legends of Imagineering and the Genesis of the Disney Theme Park introduces a core group of the originators of Disneyland and the other Disney parks. It explores their individual relationships with Walt and each other, their creative breakthroughs and failures, and their rivalries and professional politics. This candid narrative of their lives and contributions to a very special form of entertainment illustrates why, half a century later, their work continues to be vital and important to millions of people every day, and all over the world.
Lavishly illustrated throughout with rare and never-before-seen artwork and photographs,
I have always been a huge Disneyland fan, but only begun delving into the history for the past 2 years, so I would consider myself somewhat of a newbie amongst the die-hards. This book’s strength is its encyclopedic all-in-one format (although as Lannie’s excellent review points out, there are a few glaring omissions such as Alice Davis), the wonderful photos/illustrations (many are new to me, with a few familiar ones), and the excellent design that is featured throughout. Each chapter features a different skill/talent for the Imagineers, such as:
*The Prototype Imagineers (Harper Goff, Ken Anderson, Herbert Ryman, and Sam McKim)
*The Executive Suite (Richard F. Irvine & Bill Cottrell)
*The Model Shop (Fred Joerger, Harriet Burns, and Wathel Rogers), and many more.
The common thread throughout the book is obviously Walt himself; his talent for putting all of these geniuses together and challenging them to do things they’d never attempted before created the magic that is now Disneyland and WDW. Walt fostered the creative and “can-do” environment that allowed The Haunted Mansion, Pirates of the Caribbean, it’s a small world, and the Jungle Cruise to become the beloved attractions that every guest rushes to experience over and over again. To quote Tony Baxter from the book: “I found it interesting to see that when Walt was alive he was able to pull everyone together, and I think that was his great talent: to be able to get everyone to work together in harmony.” This quote is in the section of Claude Coats, and refers to the fact that Marc Davis (characters) and Claude Coats (the environment/background) created magic together on Pirates of the Caribbean, even they didn’t necessarily get along with each other. Walt put them together and 40 years later, it is still one of the favorite attractions at the parks.
