(Disneyland, 1961) An incredibly rare WED Imagineering file copy of the script for the presentation pitch for One Nation Under God, the early iteration of what would become Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln, and later, The Hall of Presidents. Walt Disney planned to expand Main Street to include Liberty Square, which would feature a Hall of Presidents style show with audio-animatronic figures and the story of the constitution. However, the technology of the time prevented Walt from creating the full show, and instead, WED Imagineering turned their attention to creating the Lincoln audio-animatronic figure for the World's Fair. This James Algar shooting script begins with an explanation of the concept of the show and what the theatre would look like, and is followed by the script for the proposed attraction. This script provides an incredibly rare look at the early stages of what would lead to Disney's first audio-animatronic attraction. The script has been stored in a two-tab presentation folder and has a "1967 WED Enterprises" file stamp on the cover. The 37-page script is in very good condition with only slight wear and some yellowing from age.
