'The Imagineering Story' radiates with discoveries, even for superfans . . . The show and the book exist separately from each other. You don't have to be familiar with one to understand the other, but they complement one another well. In fact, many of the interviews from the series are upended and pasted verbatim in the book. The book keeps the series' basic structure, with the same topics covered, just in greater detail and longer length.-- Attractions Magazine

Synopsis
Walt Disney called Imagineering "the blending of creative imagination with technical know-how." From Disneyland, U.S.A. to Shanghai Disneyland. the technologically advanced artisans and imaginative storytellers known as the Imagineers have created entire worlds of Disney magic. Now-as told to Leslie Iwerks, herself part of a Disney dynasty-these Disney park designers reveal their secrets. Book jacket., The highly acclaimed and rated Disney+ documentary series, The Imagineering Story, becomes a book that greatly expands the award-winning filmmaker Leslie Iwerks' narrative of the fascinating history of Walt Disney Imagineering. The entire legacy of WDI is covered from day one through future projects with never-before-seen access and insights from people both on the inside and on the outside. So many stories and details were left on the cutting room floor-this book allows an expanded exploration of the magic of Imagineering. So many insider stories are featured. Sculptor Blaine Gibson's wife used to kick him under the table at restaurants for staring at interesting-looking people seated nearby, and he'd even find himself studying faces during Sunday morning worship. 'You mean some of these characters might have features that are based on people you went to church with?' Marty Sklar once asked Gibson of the Imagineer's sculpts for Pirates of the Caribbean. 'He finally admitted to me that that was true.' 'In the early days, Walt Disney Imagineering 'was in one little building and everybody parked in the back and you came in through the model shop, and you could see everything that was going on,' recalled Marty Sklar. 'When we started on the World's Fair in 1960 and 1961, we had 100 people here. And so everybody knew everything about what was happening and the status of each project, so you really felt like you were part of the whole team whether you were working on that project or not. And, you know, there was so much talent here.'
