Normally when individuals get particularly excited a couple of new attraction at Walt Disney World or Disneyland, it’s some huge E-ticket expertise, an enormous curler coaster like Tron: Lightcycle Run or an unimaginable darkish trip like Rise of the Resistance. Nonetheless, essentially the most attention-grabbing, thrilling, and probably terrifying new attraction from Disney in 2025 isn’t something fairly so large; it’s a easy animatronic of a person. And that man is Walt Disney himself.
Walt Disney: A Magical Life is ready to debut at Disneyland in simply over every week, on the seventieth anniversary of Disneyland’s opening day. The attraction has set off no small quantity of controversy as many, together with a few of Walt Disney’s circle of relatives, aren’t so positive about making him an attraction within the park that bears his title. Whereas I’m actually ready to see how the attraction seems (no one has seen it but), I’m excited for the potential. And now I’m excited by the attraction poster, which seems lovely, and I believe I’ll want to purchase it.
The video posted to Instagram exhibits Disney artist Jeremy Fulton undergo his course of for designing the attraction poster for Walt Disney: A Magical Life. Disneyland attraction posters, even for brand new rides and exhibits, nonetheless use basic design that makes them seem like they may have been created a long time in the past; it offers them a timeless high quality that makes them nearly all the time look particular.
I particularly love the easter eggs which can be proven off within the poster. The hidden Mickey and the basic Opera Home home header are cool, however I particularly love that the fingers with the pointing fingers are literally designed based mostly on Walt’s precise fingers, which is the type of consideration to element that no one would ever discover.
I like attraction posters, and I’ve needed to cease myself from spending all my cash and wallpapering my workplace with them through the years. I would like all of them, and but, as a result of I so steadily can’t determine which is my favourite, I’ve by no means really purchased one. This one could change that.
I believe Walt Disney: A Magical Life may turn into one thing actually particular, to not point out technologically groundbreaking. If it actually works, if the audio animatronic is life-like sufficient, with out coming into the uncanny valley, if Walt’s phrases are chosen nicely, with out being tacky, Walt may have the identical influence in the present day that Disney’s personal Abraham Lincoln audio animatronic had a long time in the past.
Disneyland is at the moment celebrating its seventieth anniversary. It is already an unimaginable occasion even with out the addition of Walt Disney himself. How he’ll look, and what he’ll say is an intriguing query, one I can not approach to have the ability to reply myself. One factor we do know is that the poster seems superior.
