Disney4me Posted yesterday at 06:53 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 06:53 PM One of our favorite feelings in the world is a movie premiere, and there might be nothing better than combining a movie premiere with an incredible Disney Legend. Welcome to the premiere! Bob Gurr: Living by Design is a new documentary that premiered on April 26th at the Alex Theater in Glendale, California. It covers the life of Bob Gurr, a Disney Imagineer who helped shape Disney Parks into what they are today. We were invited to the premiere, where Bob Gurr was there in person! He took on the red carpet looking as stylish as ever. Bob Gurr Gurr made many of the original ride vehicles you might have ridden at Disneyland, including the Doombuggies of the Haunted Mansion, the Matterhorn Bobsleds, the Disneyland Monorail, and even the cars of Autopia. One of the cars was also at the premiere! Autopia Car They had rare collectibles, like attraction posters and concept art, a lot signed by Gurr! Lots of posters Gurr was welcomed as a Disney Legend in 2004, and we saw a replica of his plaque. A Legend! Inside the theater, Gurr spoke on his career and the documentary, and it was so fun to see the legend speak. If you’re a Disney history nerd like us, it’s hard to research anything about Disneyland and not see his name come up.
