In this special report, we review the newly released Disney+ documentary Disneyland Handcrafted.

Bringing the park we all know and love to life was no small feat, and Leslie Iwerks beautifully captured the incredible story of Disneyland's construction. Featuring never-before-seen behind-the-scenes footage from 1954–1955, the documentary offers a rare look at how the land was built from the ground up—and the craftsmanship that made the magic possible.
