The animation department had several internal superstars or lead contributors who got named the "nine old men." There was some crossover when Walt's efforts shifted to WED and the development of theme parks. Though not credited like those nine, there were a few special people who are beginning to be understood as the sources of greatness within WED or Disney Imagineering. Mary Blair gave a great graphical style to Small World and the Contemporary Resort. added a lot of the fun, quirky stylings to and other attractions. But if you always wondered who gave us that optimistic sense of what the future would be during the 70s, it was George McGinnis. None of these heroes worked in a bubble, there were other greats like John Hench. But when you read this book, you can see George's fingerprints among the best depictions of the future in and Center. The monorail, Space Mountain, Horizons and The Black Hole gave us the best future according to Disney.Some said this was not original content, there was one article shared as a chapter. It was new to me. I was glad to have all of the rich detail explaining the process and decisions during this influential stage of Disney history.I'd love to meet George someday. I want to thank him for giving us such an exciting and well styled vision of the future!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Bruce M. Douglassgood book1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Great jobBy Carolyn ForbesA view from the inside for those who love Disney. An look inside what really drives the imagination and talent. 's Final ImagineerWalt hired George McGinnis in 1966, and right away George found himself in design meetings with his new boss. For the next three decades, George contributed to such high-profile projects as the new monorails, Epcot's Horizons, and two Space Mountains.Working alongside Disney luminaries like , , and John Hench, George brought his unique background as an industrial designer to the creation of the Mark V and Mark VI monorails, and much of and 's Space Mountains. His concept art, often begun on the back of napkins, influenced the final look of many theme park attractions.George writes in detail of his Imagineering work; his interactions with Walt and many of the company's Imagineers, engineers, and artists; and his career after Disney, which included the design of trolleys for billionaire real estate developer Rick Caruso's upscale communities.But George's heart and soul went into one attraction no longer in existence: Horizons. As the manager of Disney's Industrial Design Department, responsible not just for Horizons but for other Epcot attractions, George takes readers truly behind the scenes during what many fans consider Epcot's golden age.SHARE THE LIFE OF A DISNEY IMAGINEER!
