A remarkable man, artist, and historian of the industry. Some people accuse Walt Disney of being anti-semitic or a racist. I don’t know what to say about Walt, but pretty sure Floyd Norman put them in their places!
Millions of American children who had racist parents been watching his cartoons for decades! They didn’t even know a black man made this!
Thank you for the representation, Floyd, you’re an amazing artist!
These days the money word in the themed entertainment industry is immersion. Guests want to be enveloped by a world, to have all of their senses attacked, and be surrounded by it 360 degrees. Nowhere more clear is that than with Disney’s latest announcement for Walt Disney World: a Star Wars-themed hotel. The immersion will start immediately with this one-of-a-kind experience as guests will become part of the story upon arrival. They will take on the role of a citizen of the galaxy, interacting with costumed characters, exploring the starship and taking on missions. This multi-day adventure will occupy a fully-themed (and functioning) hotel that will feature views of “space” outside every window. No timeline was announced, but expect this concept to dramatically change the game on immersing guests into a story.
