D23 premiering documentary of Walt Disney Archives for Gold Members
A new documentary celebrating the Walt Disney Archives will premiere for D23 Gold Members on D23.com this June 27.
“Adventure Thru the Walt Disney Archives” is hosted by legendary producer Don Hahn (“Beauty and the Beast,” “The Lion King.” “Maleficent”) and gives viewers a look into rarely seen parts of the extensive Disney Archives, which were founded by Disney Legend Dave Smith on June 22, 1970.
The film looks at beloved parts of Disney, including its theme parks and Studio lot as Hahn speaks with Walt Disney Archives director Becky Cline and other members of the Archives team. Each stop on the adventure offers a look at some of the iconic treasures that have played a role in shaping The Walt Disney Company.
The film, directed by John Gleim, features new interviews with Disney Executive Chairman Bob Iger, Marvel Studios’ Kevin Feige, Pixar’s Pete Docter, film historian Leonard Maltin, and others.
“Making this film was my Disney ‘fanboy’ dream come true,” says Hahn. “The Walt Disney Archives is packed with hidden treasures, and I had incredible access to them all.”
Starting June 15 at 10 a.m. PT, D23 Gold and Gold Family Members will be able to register for tickets for “Adventure Thru the Walt Disney Archives“. For details, visit D23.com.
