Magic in the Details: Disney Secrets & Trivia

The Ultimate Unofficial Guide to Imagineering History, Hidden Easter Eggs, and Animation Secrets

Most fans see the Castle. Few see the illusion that built it.

You’ve watched the movies a hundred times. You’ve walked down Main Street, U.S.A. But do you know what you’re really looking at?

The Disney universe is built on secrets. It is a world where buildings are designed to trick your eyes, scents are pumped in to manipulate your emotions, and the animation frames hide inside jokes that artists thought no one would ever catch.

Until now.

Magic in the Details is the ultimate unofficial handbook for the fan who wants to go deeper. It moves beyond basic trivia and explores the history, science, and psychology behind the most famous entertainment company on earth.

Open this collection to discover:

• The Psychology of the Parks: How "Forced Perspective" makes the castle look taller, why the sidewalks are red, and the "Go Away Green" paint color used to hide ugly buildings in plain sight.
• The Animation Revolution: The studio bankruptcy that almost killed Snow White, the real-life drag queen who inspired Ursula, and the technical "follies" that changed cinema history.
• Hidden in Plain Sight: A guide to the "Smellitzers," the secret basketball court inside the Matterhorn, and the tributes to fallen Imagineers hidden in the windows of Main Street.
• The Lost History: The attractions that were built but never opened, and the "Western River Expedition" that eventually became Pirates of the Caribbean.

Whether you are planning your next trip to Anaheim or Orlando, or just want to win every round of trivia night, this book changes the way you see the magic.
