Studios Soundtrack Series - Chinese Theatre

It has been said that while film is an inherently visual medium it is also true that at least 50% of the experience and nearly 100% of its emotional impact stems from its music. Even during its "silent" beginnings, the movies were seldom played without musical accompaniment. As a celebration of cinema, the Disney•MGM Studios had decades of soundtracks with which to weave its soundscapes. From sweeping scores performed with large orchestras to more intimate leitmotifs expressed by small ensembles, the original underscores of the park were used to both convey a sense of time and place while simultaneously providing an extremely effective reference point for the park's metanarrative.

The Disney•MGM Studios Soundtrack Series has been created to preserve the original atmospheres of the park by presenting restorations of its underscores. 


Our second edition takes us to the exquisitely recreated lobby of Grauman's Chinese Theatre, that doubles as both the queue for The Great Movie Ride and the "Great Moments at the Movies Museum". As the intermezzo between the epic themes of Hollywood Plaza and the Trailers of preshow of the spectacular journey into the movies, the lobby featured an underscore of contemplatively lush "love themes" from some of the greatest romantic films in Hollywood history presented here in its entirety...
