Description: Walt Disney planned a new million-dollar studio complex in Burbank with profits from Snow White. Kem Weber (architect and interior designer) worked with James Lill (structural engineer) to design the 51-acre campus. Many of the buildings were linked together by an underground tunnel and all of the utilities were placed underground. In December of 1939 employees began the move from the Hyperion studios to the facilities located at 500 South Buena Vista Street.
Photograph caption dated March 3, 1951 reads, "Here hundreds of story men, animators, musicians, and artists work."
