Disney Documentary

I found a documentary about Disney, and the history of Disney.  They talked about building Disneyland,  Walt Disney World, and the branding of Disney characters.  Fascinating history, for sure. 

But what caught my eye was the section about building the exhibit of Mr. Lincoln. Done with animatronic technology, Mr. Lincoln wowed audiences.  He was first displayed at the 1964 World's Fair, then moved to Disneyland.

For my first trip away from home, on a plane, (hooray PSA!), our senior trip (1977) was an overnight visit to Disneyland.  That's when I first saw this Mr. Lincoln.  It was fascinating and amazing to watch. He stood from his chair and addressed the audience, his face, his eyes, his arms all moved as if giving a speech. 

"... All men are created equal ....."
