Walt Disney's E.P.C.O.T. Film (1966)
The Original EPCOT · ★ Dr. Daniels Hall of Fame
Why it's in the Hall of Fame: Vision is specific. Disney didn't describe a dream, he showed people the plan and asked them to help build it.
Why leaders watch it
A leader selling a bold, specific vision in his own words: what it is, why it matters, and how it will get built.
Walt Disney's last film, recorded in October 1966 weeks before his death, in which he presents his plan for EPCOT, an Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow, to business leaders and Florida officials.
