LoT Exclusive - early 60's Disneyland movies

flippyshark · 01-28-2008, 07:14 PM

Here are some Disneyland movies I can guarantee you've never seen before. That's because they have been living in my Dad's garage, unseen for about forty years. I recently had them transferred, and thought I'd let you guys have a gander at them. My parents and my two older brothers are in the footage (though not much) and I'm pretty sure I wasn't born yet.

I hope this QuickTime movie is viewable by everyone. Let me know.

Flippy that was so cool. I loved all the music. Excellent job. So fun to see everything that's so familiar only not.

Groovy!

I dig the way everybody dressed so sharply.

That was WICKED KEEN!

And the musical score ... brilliant.

Not only did I love the DL movie, but I cheated and clicked on your Kubrick tribute song. I love it, too.

These could be MY home movies (if I had any). I'm trying to date stuff with a few clues - the skyway buckets being the main things that dates those shots to pre- 1965 but post 1959 because the Matterhorn is there. My first visit to DL was in 1965. Everything in these home movies seems so familiar to me. It's uncanny!

For a minute, I was like "what's the Matterhorn doing looking so prominent in Frontierland?" ... till I realized it was Cascade Peak.

I love the actual bobsled (not "bobsled-train") Matterhorn cars on the, ya know, actual Matterhorn.

ETA: The Kubrick Song is TEH AWESOME!

Those are really great shots! I think some of the footage may be earlier than the sixties, especially the shots of them fishing on Tom Sawyer's island. I believe that was a short lived event. They show it on the People and Places show on the Disneyland Secrets DVD which was shot in 1956.

I forgot how sparse the vegetation was compared to now.
