Geared for the animation enthusiast. Enjoy some of the first Mickey Mouse cartoons in a dark and air conditioned theater-like setting. Limited seating/leaning room but an enjoyable and nostalgic experience every time.

These cartoons are fine if they would be changed every once in a while and include a few full feature disney cartoons. Just a suggestion

Classy front. Nice to get out of the heat. Fun if you like old Disney cartoons (I do). It is especially fun to watch these cartoons in theater with people not used to the older, sometimes coarser Disney cartoons.

This a good place to see old disney cartoons for free and you could get out of the heat as well

I thought this was a good thing to see at least once. Fun and restful as well.

This is a nice way to cool off and spend a few minutes watching the films but not a very exciting attraction, especially since there is no seating.

We are going back to Disneyland for our 3rd trip in June 2005, and we will finally see this attraction ! We have somehow passed it over the other 2 times ! I am sure it is wonderful, just like everything else at the Park. Can't wait !!

I've always wanted to watch the movies here but I never seem to have enough time. Oh well, maybe next year on our 4 day trip to DL.

Sadly, another change for the worse. Used to be 1 screen, 1 movie- "Steamboat Willie".
Now, the MTV generation dominates with 6 screens simultaneously showing vintage B&W cartoons. The organ music is way too loud. Avoid it.

I didnt especially like this attraction because there were no seats for us to sit on and the cartoons arent changed as often as they should be either. yet I enjoy it on occasions

Highly under-rated attraction....also the COOLEST (temp) place in the park. If your lil body is cooking from the heat, duck in her for a few minutes and refersh yourself! This was one of Walt's favorite spots...and it helps remind us how it "all started with a mouse!" Watch the old movies and see how Mickey has GROWN!

What a great way to introduce young (and older!) fans to some of the early greats!

its hard to watch one cartoon when there's 5 other ones running at the same time.

I enjoy this for the nostalgic quality. It is a good place to stop if others in your party are shopping.

I like it. It's a shame that the background music that's always playing isn't available on any of the Disneyland music CD's.

This theater needs seating badly; it would be nice to get a historic perspective of early Disney animation along with features.

The 'Chapel'. Connect with Mr.Disney.

Escape the crowds and the heat

I don't like how the soundtracks and music runs together. Perhaps they could have headphones?

User ID: akwolf   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (8/17/2000)
I like the Cinema, but it tends to suffer from Innoventions-itis - people go there mainly to get out of the heat.

Good place to come on a crowded day to avoid crowds.

I can never get enough of those great cartoons! I pop in there everytime I go!

Great Moments With Steamboat Mickey. Great look into the beginnings of Disney animation, and a great contrast with modern, unimpressive toons.

Enjoy it to step into for a few minutes and cool off, I can watch steam boat Willie over and over!

Great nostalgia, and a fun break from all the stores on Main Street.

Fun to see old Mickey Mouse cartoons!

This theater is only good for resting up in an air conditioned room. Better than a store would be!

I like the old Mickey Cartoons.

I love coming in here and just watching cartoons. It;s relaxing. I don't really have a lot of money so I always go in there while my friends shop around Main St.

This is also another good place to come in and cool off.

Would be better with silent movies (Chaplin,k Chaney, Keaton) along with the cartoons.

User ID: WallyBoag   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (1/6/2000)
A wonderful place to go in the heat of the summer. The best air conditioning in the park!

This is a little gem for all Disney enthusiasts and historians. However, it's in dire need of a "shot in the arm" to bring more visitors off Main Street in to see the shorts - there needs to be a new "hook" to draw traffic away from the hotter destinations in the Park as guests make their way toward the Hub, etc.
