There was a time, when Walt himself was alive, that the "Disney" approach was to re-create an authentic version of "real" architecture. It was in fact, well done and true to various styles of architecture. A "real" Disney movie(and to me a real one is one from at least 15-20 years ago) used to be an authentic and true to life PPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01142532968938103536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1622772963037648430.post-48042100699145537882007-11-11T18:49:00.000-05:002007-11-11T18:49:00.000-05:00I think architectural diversity is a good thing.
