The vision and showmanship of Walt Disney has touched more corners of the world and hearts through his many films and theme parks. Since opening Disneyland on July 17, 1955, Walt and his team of dream makers, better known as Imagineers, have created magical destinations around the world. Today we'll have a chance to peak behind the curtain and see how the incredibly talented Imagineers create the sounds and music of the Disney Parks...








The video you are about to see by the SoundWorks Collection pulls back the curtain on the talented Imagineers who are responsible for the sounds and music of the Walt Disney theme parks. In this exclusive video profile we get a chance to explore the history and role of the audio team as they share their stories and creative challenges throughout the years. We also take a visit through the original John "Jimmy" MacDonald sound effects collection, which explores some of the classic Disney sound effects. Enjoy the show...
