Making Mountains: Latest "Imagineer That!" Arrives and Celebrates the Giant Rock Formations of Disney Parks
Plus, peep that large-scale model behind Tom and his friend as it fills you with...Pride.
The newly rebooted Imagineer That! is going full-force into its second episode, and Tom Morrow 2.0 has a special guest who had a question that has gone unanswered since asking originally back during the show’s original early 2000s run.
What’s Happening:
- The latest episode of Imagineer That! Has arrived, and once again we see internet star Michelle Khare appearing at Walt Disney Imagineering where she shares a moment with Tom Morrow 2.0.
- She tells the former Disney Channel (now YouTube) star that she once submitted a question to his original Disney Channel short-form series….but was never answered.
- Now, she’s back to ask again - How do Imagineers make mountains?
- From there, Tom leaves Michelle and dives headfirst into the topic, where we spend the next few moments learning about mountain making at the Disney Parks.
- This includes replicating real mountains (Matterhorn at Disneyland Park) and creating fantastical ones (the floating mountains of Pandora: The World of Avatar at Disney’s Animal Kingdom).
- The entire process from model to scanning to sculpting to final product is shown, complete with a number of fun puns from Tom Morrow 2.0 and other Imagineers.
- While the whole episode is peppered with construction imagery of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, Cars Land, and the aforementioned Pandora: The World of Avatar, eagle-eyed fans will also spot another mountain soon to rise over the horizon of the Disneyland Paris Resort - the new attraction based on The Lion King, complete with Pride Rock.
- Fans will also get a quick glimpse of the other fun literally embedded into Disney mountains, like lighting and speakers and more plants to help create the scale.
- Check out the full episode below:
- This is the second episode thus far of the rebooted Imagineer That!, which sees the return of Tom Morrow 2.0 after well over a decade since his last appearance not only on a Disney Channel short-form series of the same name, but his appearances in EPCOT’s Innoventions, which ceased back in 2007.
- The first episode, which debuted late last month, takes a look at the entire process at Walt Disney Imagineering from Blue Sky (along with Pre-Blue Sky) to Concept, Feasibility, and Design phases.
