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 watching The Wonderful World of Disney on Sunday nights and enjoying my first trip to Walt Disney World in the mid-80's. I have since returned to the magical place more than 30 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 build a little community around it. Other interests include 80's nostalgia, vintage toys, video games, LEGO, Star Wars and tech gadgets. Other site isDMR.
