Walt Disney Imagineering Won Coveted Thea Awards
The Themed Entertainment Association (TEA) announced that Walt Disney Imagineering earned three Thea Awards. The coveted Thea Awards recognize creation and production excellence.
Thea Awards
The Thea Awards recipients were announced at the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) Expo. Here, the recipients obtained Brass Ring Awards for Disney, which recognized innovation and excellence.
Disney Imagineers designed an advanced Spider Man animatronic that makes real-time decisions of when to tuck, somersault, and slow down…all while being 85-feet in the air. Therefore, this Stuntronics technology received a Thea Award for Outstanding Technical Innovation, and you can see it at Disneyland Resort’s Avengers Campus in Disney California Adventure Park.
In addition, retired Imagineer Doris Hardoon was honored with the Buzz Price Thea Award for her distinguished achievements. Doris began her Disney Parks career as a designer and art producer in 1979.
Her creativity and vision brought forth some of the World Showcase pavilions at EPCOT, and she later worked on Disney’s Animal Kingdom. She also led projects at Tokyo Disneyland, Disneyland Paris, and Shanghai Disney Resort.
Also, Carmen Smith received the Thea Catalyst Award for her focus on relevant, authentic, and culturally accurate storytelling. Someone who positively benefited the entertainment industry gets this award.
Now, Carmen is senior vice president for Creative Development, Product/Content & Inclusive Strategies for Disney Parks, Experiences and Products. So thankfully, her influence continues.
Brass Ring Awards
Finally, Disney Live Entertainment received Brass Ring Awards for Live Entertainment Excellence. Hence, “Magic Happens” Parade won a Brass Ring Award for Best Atmosphere Street Show Performance.
Also, Oogie Boogie Bash-A Disney Halloween Party obtained Most Creative Halloween Haunt, Show or Experience. Additionally, the Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Remy Feature Plush obtained a Brass Ring Award for Best Plush Item.
So, Walt Disney Imagineering is a top-ranked winner in many areas. Their customer service and excellence consistently earns them high-level awards. This is the time for you to experience them for yourself!
