Imagineering Legends



It's finally here! After waiting and watching Amazon for almost two plus years, Jeff Kurtti's homage to the early years of Walt Disney Imagineering finally arrived on my door-step.  And, boy, was it worth the wait.

It's part biography and part Disney history lesson.  Each Imagineer gets the multi-page treatment.  No more confusing Marc Davis with Marvin Davis.  (Yeah, two different guys - for years I thought they were the same person). Or confusing the map makers - Herb Ryman and the map that sold Disneyland to the bankers with Sam McKim, who created the fun maps for sale at Disneyland.

There's a few other reviews posted by the Disney community right now.  Check out Werner Weiss's review over at Yesterland, or Ken Pellmans review at Laughing Place.
