Over 150 matte paintings were created for THE BLACK HOLE (1979), supervised by father/son duo Peter and Harrison Ellenshaw. The new Matte Scan System allowed for repeatable camera movements on static matte paintings. Here are several of my favorite shots!

Have you heard of the S.S. Disney? This repurposed oil tanker would have been full of Disney attractions and sailed from city to city around the world. Imagine It’s a Small World, Dumbo, and even Space Mountain pulling up to your city for a two-month run. Would you have visited?

Walt Disney once described Tomorrowland as “a vista into a world of wondrous ideas” and “a step into the future,” but, according to many Disneyland fans, present-day Tomorrowland is anything but that.

Disney to Invest $1 Billion in OpenAI in Major Deal That Boosts Sora in Hollywood https://t.co/TG52L4enlp

It is hard to believe that within 8 days two architects who were engulfed by American culture, who embraced that culture, and advanced it, have passed away.  Frank Gehry has followed Bob Stern, two men operating on two different coasts in America.

Frank, very early, worked with us at the Walt Disney Company creating excellence in Anaheim and Paris.

Frank was honored by everybody: clients, the public, the press as the most important architect worldwide because he was the most important architect. You can point to at least twenty+ buildings that can only be described as amazing, a legacy that one must see with their own eyes. From a hockey rink for the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim to Walt Disney Concert Hall, from a museum in Bilbao Spain to a soaring tower in NYC, and from a meeting/convening  building that Frank designed for our family in Colorado to millions of square feet of “can you believe that” around the world, we have lost someone who was super super super special. RIP Frank
