The Making of Me | Disney World

“The Making of Me” was a former educational film experience located in the Wonders of Life pavilion at EPCOT. The film focused on human reproduction and development, aiming to provide a family-friendly and informative perspective on the miracle of life.

“The Making of Me” was an optional post-show experience following the Cranium Command attraction, which explored the inner workings of the human body. The film presented a lighthearted and sensitive approach to the topic of human reproduction, using humor and storytelling to educate guests about the process of conception, pregnancy, and childbirth.

Narrated by comedian Martin Short, the film followed the journey of a couple, portrayed by Martin Short and Kathleen Turner, as they learned about the science and miracle of human reproduction. The film combined live-action sequences, animations, and scientific explanations to guide guests through the stages of human development.

“The Making of Me” featured a mix of medical information and personal stories, aiming to provide an understanding of the physical and emotional aspects of reproduction. While the film maintained a family-friendly approach, it did touch on the topic of conception, which made it more suitable for older children and adults.

After the film, guests would exit through the “Making of Me” post-show area, which included informative displays, exhibits, and interactive elements related to human development. The exhibits offered insights into the various stages of gestation, fetal development, and the importance of prenatal care.

“The Making of Me” closed in 2007 when the Wonders of Life pavilion underwent changes and transitioned into a seasonal event space. The attraction is no longer available at EPCOT, but its legacy remains as a unique educational experience that provided guests with a better understanding of human reproduction and the miracle of life.
