One Day at Disney

One Day at Disney is a 2019 documentary movie that takes an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the day-to-day operations of Disney's cast members and employees. The documentary format follows a unique concept by highlighting 76 different cast members who all work in different fields throughout the Disney company.

As the title implies, the movie focuses on a single day within the Disney Corporation, but it captures a variety of perspectives from employees in each phase of the company's creative and consumer-facing spectrums. These include Disney animators, Imagineers, ride designers, and even vet technicians who care for the animals within the park. The documentary does an excellent job of showing how each cast member and employee is integral in maintaining the Disney brand and creating magical moments for guests.

The movie opens with an introduction by Bob Iger, the then Disney CEO, who explains the importance of people's stories and Disney's mission of creating happiness for all. We're then introduced to Eric Baker, a senior illustrator and artist for Disney's Imagineering department. His job involves sketching and drawing potential characters and scenes for Disney's theme parks and movies. The documentary shows Eric working on the design of a new Disney theme park in Shanghai, China.

Next up, we meet Ashley Girdich, a marketing manager for Disney Publishing. She describes her job as constantly thinking about how to reach an audience and promoting the Disney brand through books and other print materials. We see her working on a campaign for a new book about the history of Walt Disney World.

The documentary also showcases the work of Sterling K. Brown, a renowned actor, and voice artist. He provides the voiceover narration for the movie and gives an emotional reading of a story from a Disney book about a young girl's visit to the parks. His portrayal of the story is heartfelt and moving, showing the effect that Disney can have on people's lives.

As the movie progresses, we're introduced to various cast members who work in different areas of the Disney company. We meet a park ranger who's responsible for caring and training the horses inside the park, a Veterinarian who checks on the health of the animals who live within the park.

We also meet an animator who is working on the forthcoming Disney film Frozen II, who describes how she creates the magic of Elsa and Anna on the screen. Additionally, we get to see how a Disney costume designer builds and creates costumes for various Disney live and shows.

Overall, One Day at Disney is a fascinating look at the inner workings of one of the world's biggest corporations. The movie showcases the effort and dedication of all the cast members that work tirelessly to create the magical experiences that define the Disney brand. Whether you're a fan of the movies or the theme parks, there's something for everyone in One Day at Disney.
