Walt Disney Studios  
The house that Walt built.

Average User Rating:

 

 

The original gate still stands out back but the never-never land of Disney's genteel Victorian backlot and elegant Streamline Moderne structures along Dopey Drive have given way to the mega-merger necessities of Fantasia 2000 and 800+ corporate entities. In the most extravagant and wonderful examples of thematic architecture now being pursued outside of Las Vegas, the old ink & paint departments never looked so good. Witness the rainbow's end of the new Walt Disney Studios entrance. Marvel at the "ArcoSanti-like" modules that rise from the desert of Burbank. The true heir to the throne, Roy Disney conducts his court in an office within the Macy's Balloon-size sorcerer's hat, replete with stars. The animation wing looks nothing-less than Herculean with its tremendous vaults of glass. The addition of portholes suggest a massive ship ready to steam instead of a workaday destination. And whether modern blasphemy or ancient hokum, the corporate temple's Grecian pinnacle is upheld by none other than Hulk-sized graven images of the Seven Dwarfs. -- WEBSITE-TO-GO!
