AN INTERVIEW WITH ANIMATRONICS MASTER GARNER HOLT - Disney Podcast Episode 930 Aug 31, 2022

Show notes

Disney fans rejoice! On this episode, I'll be chatting with Garner Holt from Garner Holt Productions. Most likely you've seen old episodes of the Disneyland television series where Walt Disney and his Imagineers were building the first ever Audio-Animatronic figures like the Enchanted Tiki Room birds, President Lincoln, pirates, and many more. And that's how it used to work. Nobody was building animatronics at that time, so The Walt Disney Company and the folks at WED Enterprises had to do it for themselves. A lot of people still believe the animatronic figures we see in new attractions are being made at Walt Disney Imagineering. But that's rarely the case these days. Enter Garner Holt, who has been creating the greatest animatronics in the world since 1977, and has been building them for Disney for several decades. Whether it's small animated figures on parade floats, a giant Maleficent dragon, or anything in between, there's a good chance that Garner Holt Productions had their hands in the project. Listen as Garner shares the story of how a visit to Disneyland's Haunted Mansion changed the trajectory of his life, and how he later got to play in that exact sandbox with the creation of Haunted Mansion Holiday. That and so much more on this episode.

IMAGINEER TANIA NORRIS DISCUSSES DESIGNING DISNEYLAND'S NEW ORLEANS SQUARE AND HAUNTED MANSION'S PURPLE WALLPAPER - Disney Podcast Episode 928 Aug 17, 2022

Show notes

Disney fans rejoice! Listen as I chat with Tania Norris who worked with WED Enterprises (now Walt Disney Imagineering) back in 1964. This means that she worked right alongside Walt Disney. Tania is most famously known as the designer of the iconic purple wallpaper in the Haunted Mansion, but she was originally hired to help with the design and decorating of New Orleans Square, followed by Club 33. As part of her job, she found herself on an epic research trip that took her from the real New Orleans, to some swamp land in Florida long before it was Walt Disney World, and the New York World's Fair. Plus, Tania quite literally had a hand in one of my personal favorite attractions, Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress. That and so much more on this episode.

A CAREER RETROSPECTIVE WITH IMAGINEER TOM K. MORRIS - Disney Podcast Episode 924 Jul 20, 2022

Show notes

Disney fans rejoice! Listen as I chat with Tom K. Morris who was an Imagineer for well over thirty years.

When Tom began his work at Imagineering, then WED Enterprises, he was working alongside some of the Disney Legends that helped create Disneyland. Also, considering Tom's long tenure with the company, he worked with quite a few different sets of management and corporate leaders at Imagineering and The Walt Disney Company. Listen as he shares his honest thoughts and stories about all of that. Plus, if you've ever enjoyed riding a roller coaster with synchronized sound, you have Tom to thank. That and so much more on this episode.
