So, but obviously the film deals with the, the genesis of Disneyland and the frantic one year build that goes on and this really beautifully done.
Um, but is there a personal sort of story from the family side of like, you know, did your grandfather think he was crazy?
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
One other thing that's worth asking is, I think, I hope, is your father being so young at this juncture of the park coming together.
Was he around the park when he was a kid?
Like, before it opened, you know?
Oh, okay.
Okay.

So talk a bit about Disneyland Handcrafted, because I saw where you were talking about the decision that you made, if you want to explore that.
They had all this archival footage that most of it had never been seen of them making the park.
And a lot of it never been really transferred well.
So you got like high grade transfers.
And so footage that never been seen in color, but it only been sitting on the Disneyland TV show and stuff like that.
But the decision that you made to really make it sort of an immersive experience about the park building and you didn't do the classic just talking head and even your resistance to using still photos and stuff.
