About Disneyland: the First 50 Years

This film replaced the long-standing attraction "Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln" during the Disneyland 50th anniversary year. Although officially the old show is still supposed to come back, there's no sign of it so far. It stars Steve Martin (who began his career by working at Disneyland's magic shop) and Donald Duck. It includes interesting selection of film clips and home movies from the park's earliest days that are fun to watch.

Rating:3 smiles
Recommended for: Baby boomers who grew up wishing they could go to Disneyland and anyone who is interested in Disneyland history.
