Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room

Presented by Ken Bruce

Based on Ken Bruce's book Before the Birds Sang Words, this seminar will take a peek at the genesis and evolution of Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room, the revolutionary Tiki-infused Audio-Animatronic musical revue that's been delighting audiences at Disneyland for over 60 years. The seminar will also explore the contributing influences and passions of the man who spearheaded it — in turn becoming one of Walt Disney's most personal projects.

Ken Bruce is a two-time Emmy Award-winning animation director, storyboard artist, and timer. His story work has appeared in three Best Animated Feature Academy Award winners — Toy Story 3, UP, and Shrek. Other credits include The Simpsons, Ren and Stimpy, Fairly Odd Parents, and Family Guy. His first Disneyland visit at age five was a formative event that led to a lifelong appreciation for the masterfully immersive environments dreamt up by Walt Disney and his team of Imagineers. Ken lives in Los Angeles.
