ISILO 4.32 SERIAL WINDOWS

To me, some of the most important windows are those of the вЂњold guardвЂќ of Disney artists, including Mary Blair (who worked on animated films and designed вЂњitвЂ™s a small worldвЂќ), Blaine Gibson (who sculpted the faces and figures of many of the animatronics for early attractions), and Ub Iwerks (who partnered with Walt in his early years of animation and drew many of the early Mickey Mouse cartoons). As guests rush down Main Street, USA toward their favorite lands and attractions, they pass by several windows listing the names and accomplishments of those who played a part in designing those favorite attractions or played an integral part in the life and history of Walt Disney and his company. This tradition continued with the opening of Walt Disney WorldвЂ™s Magic Kingdom. Many of these names actually referenced important individuals, artists, and Imagineers who had helped design and create Disneyland, a thank you of sorts from Walt himself.

To add detail and realism to this fictional town, names of вЂњcitizensвЂќ and businesses were painted on the second floor windows of many of the buildings. When Walt Disney first conceived of using Main Street, USA as guestsвЂ™ first experience upon entering Disneyland, he desired that it resemble a turn-of-the-twentieth-century small midwestern town, similar to his hometown of Marceline, Missouri. These full-size, immersive dioramas that guests could physically move through would eventually become Disneyland, which would open in 1955. As Walt and some of his artists worked on additional miniatures, they realized that there was no reason to limit themselves to miniature tableaus when they could potentially create something full-size. Based on guest interest, Walt would explain, he would determine the feasibility of constructing an entire miniature village, which he would call Disneylandia, and would tour across the nation for guests to experience. This project inspired Walt in the early 1950s to create a number of miniature scenes which paying guests could see at the Festival of California Living in Los Angeles in late 1952.

To celebrate one of his favorite films, So Dear to My Heart, Walt undertook a personal project, that of building a miniature farmhouse that one of the filmвЂ™s characters, Granny Kincaid, lived in. One of the artifacts on display is a small, wooden miniature, named by the title card as вЂњGranny KincaidвЂ™s Cabin.вЂќ One of WaltвЂ™s numerous passions during his lifetime was collecting and constructing miniatures: small-scale dioramas, scenes, and objects most commonly represented in dollhouses. This walkthrough exhibit showcased a number of artifacts and reproductions significant to WaltвЂ™s history, as well as that of the company. As part of the 100 Years of Magic Celebration that took place at Walt Disney World in 2001 to celebrate WaltвЂ™s centennial, a new museum-style attraction was added to the then-Disney-MGM Studios: Walt Disney: One ManвЂ™s Dream. There arenвЂ™t many things at Walt Disney World that Walt Disney personally worked on or put his hands on, mainly because the resort didnвЂ™t open until nearly five years after his death. Studio would move to a more permanent location with the opening of the studio on Hyperion Avenue three years later. This occupancy was short-lived, however: the Disney Bros.

Shortly after signing their first contract with New York distributor Margaret Winkler for a series of films known as the Alice Comedies, the Disney brothers signed a lease to rent space behind this LA realty company on Kingswell Avenue. This is in reference to an actual real estate company from which Walt and Roy Disney rented space in 1923. A door below the sign identifies this space as Holly-Vermont Realty of Hollywood and Beverly Hills. At first, this doesnвЂ™t register as out of the ordinary, until you remember you are standing in a theme park and not the real Hollywood. A large sign is hanging in a window above and to the right of the kiosk advertising office space for rent. As you stand in line at PeevyвЂ™s Polar Pipeline, located on the Echo Lake-side of Keystone Clothiers, your eyes wander across the facade of the building.
