A really good disney documentary...anyone, anyone?

[MrandMrsJoeFriday]

Ive just finished watching and catching up on all of the DIS Unplugged Orlando show video editions that I missed, and I am now on my Netflix account watching the Disney Parks documentaries. However I seem to be needing something more than these polished works of film that Disney has put out. I was wondering if anyone here knows of any Disney related documentaries that are out there? I love learning about history and how things are built, and created, and would love to see a doc about the design and creation of Disney land and Disney world. Any information you would be able to share would be greatly appreciated, and will help me and my family get through the waiting period between Tuesdays at 1pm

Do you have Amazon Prime? There are a couple decent ones you can stream for free on there.

My husband recorded these about 8 years ago and we still watch them. They have a lot of historical film footage and photographs.

There are several nice docs out there. I admit I love the Theme park PR released by Disney years ago that you can find on youtube.

Disney doesn't release these on DVD, I would love to have them. Probably a limited market.

I agree about Modern Marvels. One of my favorite Disney documentaries.

Seconded.

I even asked for the DVD on my Christmas list a few years ago. Before I got the DVD, I liked how History Channel would always show it on Christmas day. I'd go from making breakfast for my family while watching the parade, to watching the Modern Marvels while the presents were being opened.

And speaking of Christmas, the HGTV special about the Christmas decorating process is REALLY impressive.

I'm going to check for that Christmas special on YouTube later today. I haven't finished watching yet but the modern marvels episode is pretty awesome. There used to be a documentary on Netflix that was all about the music of Disney and the Sherman brothers. Ill look for the name but I'm pretty sure it's no longer on Netflix. It was really good

 

[MrandMrsJoeFriday]

Just looked and its called The Boys: The Sherman brothers story

 

[MrandMrsJoeFriday]

The other one I really liked is called Walt & El Grupo

 

[Pixie Princess]

Not Disney proper, but The Pixar Story is a very good documentary on Netflix. I was online searching for a job there after I watched it.

 

[MrandMrsJoeFriday]

Wow I forgot about that one. The pixar story was really good!

Sweet!

Walt and El Grupo is one of my favourite. The Boys and waking sleeping Beauty are all great documentaries.

 

[MrandMrsJoeFriday]

I just finished watching this video of Walt Disney's last film appearance. It was sadly filmed just before he was diagnosed with cancer.

There is also (again on YouTube) the Disney documentary about POC and Tommorrowland at DLR. Part of it is on one if the POC DVDs but the full one is sweet

This Doc produced by Disney back in 1989 covers the entire start-up of Disney's MGM Studios.... and its really good!
