As Disney celebrates the iconic milestone that is its 100th anniversary, the Walt Disney Company hosted a retrospective dubbed the Disney100: The exhibition. There, many relics and notable moments in history cover the space and surprise visitors with a hologram of Walt Disney himself. He arrives and speaks to the audience about the company and Disney's method of success.
He states, "There’s a lot of satisfaction in developing ideas into reality. There’s really no secret to our approach—we keep moving forward, opening up new doors, and doing new things. Because we’re curious. And curiosity keeps leading us down new paths. We’re always exploring and experimenting." To create this, two audio recordings were uncovered and used as fodder with archival footage from the 60s.
