Disney's Magic Unveiled: Behind-the-Scenes of Theme Park Creation
A new documentary series titled 'Disney Worldbuilders' is set to give Disney fans a behind-the-scenes look at how the company's theme parks come to life. The feature-length film, produced by Academy Award- and Emmy-Nominated filmmaker Leslie Iwerks, will stream on Disney+ August 20.
The documentary features conversations with some of Disney's most influential storytellers, including Bob Iger, James Cameron, Jon Favreau, Kevin Feige, Jennifer Lee, Pete Docter, Dave Filoni, Jared Bush, and Josh D'Amaro. They reflect on their memories, moments, and creative breakthroughs that shaped their work, tracing how those stories come to life at Disney's theme parks.
The documentary reveals a creative practice that moves in every direction - where a story can inspire a place, and a place can then inspire the next story. This way of creating dates back to Walt himself and continues to shape every new story Disney tells.
