Walt Disney Wanted to Build a City

A cinematic documentary on EPCOT, the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow, and the city that never was

Original series by Justin Bunnell

Walt Disney started with cartoons, then made movies, built Disneyland, and attempted something far more ambitious: reinventing the American city. In 1966 he unveiled his original vision for EPCOT, the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow, a functioning city rather than a theme park. This cinematic documentary follows Walt's creative evolution, the secret Florida land purchases, and the original master plan, and asks why it was never built and what the city that never was can teach anyone who designs experiences for other people.
