New "Disneyland Handcrafted" Behind-the-Scenes Featurette Explores How Construction Audio Was Recreated

The documentary features newly created sound over previously silent film.

This past January, the acclaimed feature-length documentary Disneyland Handcrafted from filmmaker Leslie Iwerks debuted on Disney+, and now a new behind-the-scenes featurette dives into how her team recreated the audio from the construction of Disneyland in the 1950s. You can watch it below.

What's happening:

  • Disneyland Handcrafted was assembled from silent archival footage, and the filmmakers chose to recreate the sounds of Disneyland construction using the Foley sound design process.
  • In a new behind-the-scenes featurette posted this morning to the official Disney Parks YouTube channel, director Leslie Iwerks' team explores how the audio was created for the documentary.
  • Interview subjects in this featurette include Disneyland Handcrafted Sound Editor & Pre-Recording Mixer Bonnie Wild, Foley Artist Shelley Roden, and Foley Mixer Dennis Leonard.
