Wonderful World of Weenies: Graumen’s Chinese Theater

The Grauman’s Chinese Theater was used as the ‘weenie’ of Disney-MGM Studios, as it was an icon of the Golden Age of Hollywood, and in a perfect state, was the Hollywood that never was.

When opening in 1989, the theme park featured the largest Hidden Mickey, pictured below in concept art. Can you find it?mgm_0

Before 2001’s addition of the Sorcerer Hat, the Disney-MGM Studios promenade in front of the Chinese Theater (housing the Great Movie Ride) was expansive, it was a relaxing and well groomed plaza area.
