There’s something truly magical about a movie premiere, and it doesn't get better than one featuring a true Disney Legend. "Bob Gurr: Living by Design" debuted on April 26th at the Alex Theater in Glendale, spotlighting the incredible journey of Bob Gurr, a visionary Disney Imagineer who played a key role in shaping Disneyland.
We had the privilege of attending the premiere, where Bob Gurr graced the red carpet with his usual flair. Gurr was instrumental in designing many iconic Disneyland ride vehicles, including the Haunted Mansion Doombuggies, Matterhorn Bobsleds, the Monorail, and the Autopia cars—one even made an appearance at the event!
The premiere showcased rare memorabilia like attraction posters and concept art, many of which were signed by Gurr himself. As a Disney Legend since 2004, his contributions are foundational to the park's history, and his recognition was well-deserved.
The event also included a fascinating talk by Gurr about his career and the documentary. If you're a fan of Disney history, it's hard not to bump into his legacy when diving into Disneyland's storied past.
