About This Movie

So, 'Disneyland Goes to the World's Fair' is a neat little documentary that really captures Walt Disney's vision and excitement for the 1964 New York World's Fair. Hamilton Luske directs this TV movie, blending footage of those classic animatronic dinosaurs with commentary from Walt himself. You get this sense of wonder as they showcase the groundbreaking technology of the time, especially those practical effects that still hold some charm today. The pacing has this nice, leisurely flow, drawing you into the atmosphere of optimism and innovation. It’s both a historical piece and a glimpse into how Disneyland planned to expand its influence. Not every Disney production has this kind of insight into the behind-the-scenes work, which makes it stand out a bit more.
