Walt Disney gathers a group of artists and engineers for the purpose of building a dream into reality. These ‘Imagineers’ formulate a set of design principles that transport people from their everyday lives to lands of imagination.

Simultaneously, the first international park opens in Japan. No future plans threaten the survival of the company.

Reviews

Protraph Lack of good storyline.
SpecialsTarget Disturbing yet enthralling
Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
