Disney MGM Studios Trivia....

[marty3d]

MBabe - you are correct!

You're up!

[MickeyBabe]

Okay here goes nothing ....

There are replicas of Three real theaters at Disney MGM Studios. Name them, their real location and their significance.

[dzneynut]

Well, the Great Movie Ride is housed in a replica of Grauman's Chinese Theater in Hollywood, CA.
Sunset Blvd. shops are housed in a replica of the Carthay Circle Theater in Beverly Hills, where the 1937 premiere of Snow White took place.
Beauty & the Beast takes place in the Theater of the Stars, which is a replica of the Hollywood Bowl.
Not sure about the significance question?

[MickeyBabe]

James you have two of the three I have on my list.... I was unaware of the Theater of the Stars background so I'll give you that also.

Grauman's Chinese Theater in Hollywood, CA. - Home of many Priemiers during the Golden age of Hollywood. - James

Carthay Circle Theater in Beverly Hills - where the 1937 premiere of Snow White took place. - James

Theater of the Stars, which is a replica of the Hollywood Bowl. No significance that I know of. - James




There is one more theater at MGM with a decidedly Disney connection...... Name it.

[1HourAway]

MBabe - the Colony Theater which is where Steamboat Willie premiered.

[dzneynut]

Isn't there also the Walt Disney Theater in the Magic of Disney Animation attraction, which is patterned after the theater at the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, CA?

[MickeyBabe]

1Hour... Yes it was the Colony theater I was looking for.

James.... I was unaware of the Walt Disney Theater being a replica and I was really looking for public theaters, but I'll give it to you due to your impressive knowlege.


* Grauman's Chinese Theater in Hollywood, CA. - Home of many Priemiers during the Golden age of Hollywood. - James

* Carthay Circle Theater in Beverly Hills - where the 1937 premiere of Snow White took place. - James

James and 1Hour... one of you may post the next question....

[1HourAway]

Okay, here goes...

Where can you purchase a picture of Walt Disney?

[MickeyBabe]

MGM
Sid Cahuenga's One of a Kind Shop
Animation Gallery

MK
Main Street Gallery

Epcot
The Art of Disney Epcot Gallery

DTD
The Art of Disney

[1HourAway]

MBabe - you got it! My source says Sid's is the only place in WDW to purchase a photo of him!?

So, the others weren't needed - because it's an MGM question.

But, I wonder if you can get a pic of him at the other places.



I'll have to investigate!

You're up!

[MickeyBabe]

You can certianly get a poster of him. The one with Mickey as his shadow that is on the book An American Original. Also the Cel that has Mickey watching Walt on a television set.

Sorry I got caught up in the moment and posted all four parks.


Two artists are credited in two different movies that are depicted with Audio Animatronics in the Great Movie Ride. Name them.

[Joe Carioca]

H.R. Giger was the artist who designed the alien in Alien, and Walt Disney is credited as producer of Mary Poppins!

[MickeyBabe]

Brant... you have me a little confused.

Giger did Alien and what else?

Walt did Mary Poppins and what else?



By artists I mean actors, producers, directors, dancers, choreographers, etc....

[Joe Carioca]

Alien and Mary Poppins are the two different movies.
Giger and Disney are the artists.
I know that can't be wrong, did I just phrase it wrong? Should I ask?

[MickeyBabe]

I think I must not have worded my question clearly.

I am looking for ...


Artist #1... and the two depicted movies they were involved in.

Artist #2... and the two depicted movies they were involved in.


Does that make sense now?
