The Awesome Storytelling of Disney California Adventure’s New Buena Vista Street

The Awesome Storytelling of Disney California Adventure’s New Buena Vista Street | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it

Peter Sciretta: "[...] what the Imagineers have done with Buena Vista Street is create a new story, an origin story for Walt Disney. They have created a street full of shops and restaurants (like Disneyland’s Main Street) which tells the story of a man from Kansas who arrives in 1920′s Los Angeles to become an animator. Who would have thought a street of stores could tell such a story?"
