Main Street Cinema

When Disneyland Park debuted, Walt Disney wanted his guest to feel as if they left the world of today and entered the world of fantasy. To bring that vision to life Walt Disney Invited Various Merchants to set up shops on Main Street USA to bring this vision to life. Walt always feel things should be authentic as possible to make his dream come true. The shops had to be to be made and set-up to the period atmosphere to complete this feeling of realism.

The Main Street Cinema was opened on July 17, 1955, one of 20 original Disneyland Park Attraction that remain in the park today. The Main Street Cinema Was an A-ticket attraction in the original ticket books that Disneyland used but later was upgraded to a B-ticket attraction. Joining The Art of Animation Exhibit and Casey Jr. Circus Train.

This attraction pays tribute to one of Walts Disney’s most famous creations, Mickey mouse. When you visit Main Street Cinema, you can enjoy six early Mickey Mouse Shorts, including Steamboat Willie, which was released Nov 18, 1928.

Steam Boat willie was the first complete-sychornized sound cartoon. After its success, Walt Disney added sound to two Mickey Mouse filmswhich he previously had unable to sell, Plane Crazy (also showing in the Main Street Cinnama) and The Gallopin Gaucho.

Walt Disney always had a special place in his hart for Mickey Mouse

“all we ever intended for him or expected of him was that he should continue to make people every where chuckle with him and at him,” Wald Disney Said. “We Didn’t burden him with any social symbolism; we made him no mouth piece for furustrations or harsh satire. Mickey was simply a little personality assigned to the purpose of laughter.”
