Main Street Cinema | Disneyland

Last Updated on: March 26th, 2024

At the Main Street Cinema, transport yourself back to the Golden Age of Cinema at this nostalgic movie theater located
along Main Street, U.S.A.

Beneath a vibrant, lightbulb illuminated marquee, make your way inside an elegant Victorian-inspired brick building
that recalls the great motion picture houses of yesteryear. Inside the theater, view 6 separate movie screens projecting some of Walt Disney’s earliest animated efforts.

Starring Mickey Mouse and a familiar roster of beloved Disney characters, the classic films that screen continuously throughout the day at Main Street Cinema include:

  • Steamboat Willie, 1928
  • Plane Crazy, 1928
  • The Moose Hunt, 1931
  • Traffic Troubles, 1931
  • The Dognapper, 1934
  • Mickey’s Polo Team, 1936

Walt Disney opened Main Street Cinema on July 17, 1955 to both introduce a new generation to the bygone era of early moviemaking and rekindle a nostalgic spark in those who had witnessed it firsthand. Today, the theater—and films that play there—provide an eye-opening glimpse into what movie-going was once like.

I am founder and editor of DisneyNews.us. My passion for all things Disney goes pretty far back to my first trip to Walt Disney World in the mid-80's. I have since returned to the magical place more than 20 times. I started this site when I came to the realization that I spent a significant portion of my day reading articles about Disney and watching Disney content with my 8-year old, so it made sense that I would start sharing some of what I read and see and building a little community around it. Other interests include 80's nostalgia, vintage toys, video games, LEGO, Star Wars and tech gadgets. Other site isDMR.
