Well, thank you, Thomas. You know, when
0:21
Walt first arrived at Disneyland, there
0:23
was no blueprint for what he had in
0:25
mind. So he turned to artists,
0:27
designers, engineers, and storytellers
0:30
who could imagine something that didn't
0:32
exist yet and then figure out how to
0:35
build and they became imagin.
0:38
What began nearly 75 years ago from a
0:41
small handpicked team by wall has grown
0:44
into a creative community around the
0:46
world. The disciplines have multiplied,
0:49
the tools have changed, but the job
0:51
really has. create places that make
0:54
people feel something and remember it.
0:57
And none of us does this alone. Every
1:00
imaginary heard something from the
1:02
people who came before us, an idea, a
1:04
lesson, a standard, sometimes just a way
1:07
of looking at and following differently.
1:10
And then it becomes our responsibility
1:12
to carry that forward and hopefully
1:14
leave something behind for the imaginers
1:18
Nearly 50 Imagineers have been named
1:20
Disney Legends and I'm incredibly
1:23
honored that several of them are here
2:15
waiting for us for giving the rest of us
2:30
Spent much of her life preserving and
2:32
telling the stories of the people who
2:34
built these natural places.
