Walt’s Childhood Stories
A collection of stories told by Walt Disney, his siblings and childhood friends come to life through a series of interactive animated drawings.
In this lively screen visitors can cue-and-view short animations that illustrate scenes from Walt’s childhood as reflected upon by those close to him. The early cinema inspired this interface where Walt’s words are displayed in silent film-style interstitial screens. Disney legend Floyd Norman’s drawings of each scene appear to be drawn out before the visitor in the flickering screen as each tale is told.
