VIDEO: Official Trailer Released for ‘The Imagineering Story’ Coming to Disney+

Disney+, the new streaming service from The Walt Disney Company, has released the official trailer for one of the most anticipated titles coming to the platform for theme park fans.

The Imagineering Story goes behind-the-scenes at Walt Disney Imagineering to tell the sixty-five year history of the creative branch of Disney theme parks. The documentary series will contain six hours of archival footage combined with interviews from current Imagineers to paint a picture of what Imagineering does and how they do it.

Even though The Imagineering Story will debut on Disney+, it wasn’t originally created for that platform. Before we take a look at the official trailer released recently, here’s a look at a trailer released all the way back in 2013 when the project was first introduced to the public. Originally announced at the 2013 D23 Expo, The Imagineering Story was a promised movie that was set to be released in 2016. Of course, just because a project is announced at the D23 Expo doesn’t mean we’ll ever see it (looking at you, Main Street Theater). Luckily for us, it seems like The Imagineering Story has been expanded upon and turned into a six-hour series for Disney+! First, here’s a look at the 2013 trailer.

Compare that trailer to the one released recently for Disney+ and we can see new footage has been added, including some very brief looks at the Beast from the upcoming Beauty and the Beast attraction at Tokyo Disneyland!

Here’s the official trailer for the Disney+ version of The Imagineering Story.

Disney+ is $4.99 per month or $69.99 for a year and debuts on November 12th. For more, visit DisneyPlus.com.

About the Author: DBTN - FOUNDER, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF OF DBTN

My enthusiasm for all things Disney all started when my parents took our family to WDW for a vacation. My first trip was at age 13. Since that first time, I have made a trip to WDW almost every year from age 13. As far as I knew there was only one place to vacation! My fascination with WDW began on that first trip. I wanted to know how things at WDW operated and what made it so magical. I wanted to know details like how many people worked there and the length of the monorail track. It is that fascination that fueled my interest in WDW. Each year that my family vacationed at WDW, I learned more about WDW as they built more parks and added more attractions. I am not the average fan; I want to know all the details and I love researching the facts of WDW. I research facts through the Internet, books and DVDs. To me, the best part is to conduct research trip at WDW. After college, my father was transferred to Orlando and I moved with my parents. Seeking employment, I applied for a job at WDW. I passed the first rounds of interviews and was proud to join the Disney family as a security cast member! The job was great. It included Disney-specific training and security training before assuming four duties: driving a security vehicle, standing a post, working in a resort or walking a park or other area. Sometimes I even had special duties like working the Epcot Christmas Processional. I would escort the celebrity guests from backstage to onstage. Interestingly, every cast member is given a WDW fact book monthly to aid in answering guest questions. The pocket book contained great Disney facts that added more fuel for my thirst of Disney facts. Well, all-good things must come to end so we moved back to NJ. In the summer of 2010 I moved back to Florida I am now living in Orlando less then 15 minutes from WDW and living the dream and have fun along the way.
