SWC: Walt Disney Imagineers

January 24, 2011 by Miguel Isaza

SoundWorks Collection has published a new video about the imagineers team of Walt Disney, including a visit through the amazing sound creations of sound effects artist Jimmy MacDonald. A must-watch for any of us.

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 his first park “Disneyland” on July 18, 1955, Walt and his team of dream makers known as “Imagineers” have created many theme parks around the world.

The SoundWorks Collection pulls back the curtain on the talented Imagineers who are responsible for the sounds and music of the Walt Disney theme park properties. In our exclusive video profile we explore the history and role of the audio team as they share their stories and creative challenges. We also take a visit through the original John James “Jimmy” MacDonald sound effects collection, which explores some of the classic Disney sound effects.

    This was so inspiring what an opportunity to enter that world. To see the talent and work evolve into what it is today and will be tomorrow.
    Thanks for sharing this.

    My goodness, I love this viedos. Imagineering is my dream job. I mean, I’m not taking AP Calculus and AP Physics for fun. Okay, I’ll admit that I absolutely love Calculus and Physics, because I’m a nerd like that. I’m sure many of the other Disney fans on here understand what I mean when I say this is my passion, that I eat, sleep, and breathe Disney. No, literally. I dream about new Disneyland attractions almost every night. I’m addicted to the magic of Imagineering. ♥
