4 out of 5 stars Awesome Read   June 21, 2004
 1 out of 5 found this review helpful

This book is an incredible read, except for one thing-the book has no information on how to become a Walt Disney Imagineer. I was really disappointed to find that the Imagineers left out such a vital part for readers like me who want to join the league of extraordinary individuals who make the Disney magic happen. All in all, this book has great pictures of original designs for the attractions, rides, and more.


5 out of 5 stars An Excellent Collection of Photos, Concepts, and Information   June 17, 2004
 1 out of 3 found this review helpful

My goal in life is to be an Imagineer, and fortunately I have connections with the company. But I needed something to help me learn more about Imagineering before I start working there in a few years. This book has so much information, it's overwhelming. The pictures and the comments are all great, and it will take some time to get through this whole book (which is very large in size, I was surprised to find out) and not miss a thing. A great buy for anyone interested in Disney theme parks. I highly recommend it


4 out of 5 stars An inside look at the Disney Dream Factory   June 14, 2004
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

As a former Disney Imagineer, I was curious to see how the old gang at Disney Imagineering would tell "our" story. Not Bad. A visual feast filled with the stories behind designing the world's grandest theme parks. They were less generous than they could have been when naming key players on several projects--especially if those Imagineers had moved on before the book was compiled. All-in-all a fun, fascinating and accurate look backstage at the Disney Dream factory. Unless you go to work there, this is the closest you'll get to seeing concept paintings, models, mock-ups and images of great ideas that never got built. As our boss, Marty Sklar, once said, "Dead projects tell no tales" Now, they do in this big, heavily illustrated book. Congrats to Bruce Gordon, Kevin Rafferty, Dave Mumford, Mel, Pam, and all the delightful "pinheads" who pulled this together. It was worth getting one more memo (inside the book) from Marty (in an in-house mail, manila envelope) with his now-famous red felt pen notes scribbled accross the page.


5 out of 5 stars Great Book!   June 13, 2004
I am a very large Disney fan, and I am extreamly interested in the imagineering process. If this is you, or even if you are remotly interested in this subject, I suggest you buy this book. The text is inspiring and well thought out, and the sketches which make up the majority of the book are amazing, and worth the price alone. It is a well composed look at the world of Walt Disney Imagineering.


5 out of 5 stars Great coffee table book   January 12, 2004
A great "coffee table" book on what Disney does when Imagineering takes over. Great pictures of concepts and ideas over the history of Disney.
