The Voices Of The Voices Of Liberty

Disney

One of my favorite performances at EPCOT is the Voices of Liberty in the American Adventure. The sound of this a capella choir singing under the rotunda is incredible. Here's a behind-the-scenes look at the choir, its beginnings, and the performance they planned for the 250th anniversary of the United States.

Disney Worldbuilders Trailer & Poster

Have you ever wondered how your favorite movie becomes a land in a Disney Park? In this documentary, Leslie Iwerks takes us behind-the-scenes with the filmmakers who created the stories that have become part of our world.

Here's the official synopsis from Disney: 

In Disney Worldbuilders, a new feature-length documentary from filmmaker Leslie Iwerks, some of Disney’s most influential storytellers reflect on the memories, moments and creative breakthroughs that shaped their work, tracing how those stories come to life at Disney’s theme parks around the globe.

Their conversations reveal a creative practice that moves in every direction — where a story can inspire a place, and a place can then inspire the next story. It's a way of creating that dates back to Walt himself— a creative tradition that continues to shape every new story Disney tells.

Audiences have always experienced Disney as one connected universe. Disney Worldbuilders pulls back the curtain on the creative minds behind it, with candid conversations featuring Bob Iger, James Cameron, Jon Favreau, Kevin Feige, Jennifer Lee, Pete Docter, Dave Filoni, Jared Bush and Josh D’Amaro. Together they reveal how stories like "Avatar", "Star Wars", the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Pixar, and the worlds of "Frozen" and "Zootopia", become real places you never want to leave. 

Disney Worldbuilders arrives on DisneyPlus on August 20th.

Spaceship Earth - The Renaissance

Spaceship Earth in Disney World is such an interesting ride. It's a journey through the history of human communication inside EPCOT's geosphere. My favorite section is the Renaissance. It's filled with painters, sculptors, and sleeping monks. This artist is painting a still life of fruit, wine, and cheese.
