Two Leaders
Experience a new video that brings to life the historic relationship between Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln, recognizing their work together in the fight against slavery. This special presentation-produced in collaboration with National Geographic-plays between busts and portraits of Douglass and Lincoln in the lobby of the Main Street Opera House, outside of Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln.
A Historic Presentation
Walt Disney was fascinated with the life of Abraham Lincoln. The first Audio-Animatronics version of Lincoln debuted in 1964 at the New York World's Fair and it was so life-like that National Geographic magazine called the figure “alarming” in its realism. In 1965, the show moved to its current home at Disneyland Park.
An Updated President Lincoln
Next-generation Audio-Animatronics technology gives the figure of Lincoln more emotion and vitality than ever before. Every detail is presented as realistically as possible, and Lincoln’s own life mask was used to create the face.
While no recording of Lincoln's voice exists, actor Royal Dano provides a satisfying interpretation of Lincoln's immortal words.

Born in 1964. Never miss this show, since the '70s! There is hope for Disney as long as this show lives. I think the slavery update was appropriate and well done.

This is AMERICAN TREASURE! Hopefully, we can save our country from the nonsense!

I saw the original show at the Illinois Pavilion at the NY World's Fair in 1964 (I was 9 years old). The NY World's Fair also had the Carousel of Progress and Small World. These Attractions were moved to Disneyland after the Fair closed. This show featured the greatest Announcer/Narrarator of all time, Paul Frees, You may recognize his voice as the Ghost Host in the Haunted Mansion. His voice is also featured in other Disney Attractions (such as the Pirates of the Carribean, the Enchanted Tiki Room and the gone but not forgotten Disneyland Attraction Journey into Innerspace). Lincoln's voice was provided by the great Character Actor Royal Dano. He did many films including the Ten Commandments where he played Moses's Brother Aaron.

LYRICS: 1 Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord; He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored; He hath loosed the fateful lightning of his terrible swift sword: His truth is marching on. Refrain: Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on. 2 I have seen him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps; They have builded him an altar in the evening dews and damps; I can read the righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps; His day is marching on. [Refrain]

I asked the docent for permission and he said yes. I just couldn't use any external lighting.
