Disney Movie Magic | Walt Disney World | Hollywood Studios | Projection Show | 2022 | Live Action

The Hollywood that never was, but always will be…that’s the theme behind Walt Disney World’s Hollywood Studios.  It’s also the theme for the Movie Magic Projection Show that debuted earlier in 2017.

The show starts with an announcer proclaiming… Welcome to Hollywood, not a place on a map but a state of mind that exists wherever people dream and wonder and imagine, a place where illusion and reality are fused by technological magic.  We welcome you to a Hollywood that never was and always will be.”

Movie Magic recently returned to Hollywood Studios with some slight modifications from the original, this recording is from April 2022.

Disney Movie Magic lasts about 10 minutes and is the first stand-alone projection at the park.  Is it a sign of things to come?  Absolutely, and an easy way to showcase new properties like Guardians of the Galaxy, and a way to feed the cult following of other properties like Tron and The Nightmare Before Christmas in a way that makes sense.  You can even throw in Walt Disney audio and a cameo of Tom Hanks portraying Walt from Saving Mr. Banks, and it feels right.
