When Disney’s Hollywood Studios opened back in 1989, the Great Movie Ride was its “castle”. The entrance to the ride which features famous movie scenes using audio-animatronics characters is a replica of the famous Mann’s Chinese Theater in Hollywood, California.

Like its Hollywood counterpart, the Great Movie Ride’s forecourt has cement handprints and footprints of famous actors (both real and animated) and other entertainers like one of my favorite pop singers, Neil Diamond.

I got on my knees to take this photo of Neil Diamond’s hands and greeting. Showing people walking into the Great Movie Ride adds the human element to the photo.
