In this rare video James Melton meets Walt Disney as he's zooming around the studio lot on his 1/12th scale miniature steam locomotive. It was around the time that Walt built The Lilly Belle locomotive for his backyard railroad. This was the railroad that was the base of inspiration for the creation of Disneyland. The park trains were scaled up from this small miniature. Walt was a strong believer in miniature and anytime anyone had an idea for something he always wanted to see a small 3d model of it so he could get a real look at it and see what it would look like from the visitors point of view.
Anyway, this little 2 part clip takes us on a trip through the Disney studio and follows the layout, design and production of Alice in Wonderland. It shows some rare footage of Walt on his train which you may enjoy and some more vintage footage of life around the studio.
There is some cool footage of some live action scenes used for animator reference. The live actors play out the scenes basically in front of the animators who draw what they see and bring it all to life. If you enjoyed this check out Part 2
