Watch Walt Disney explain his idea for the real-life 'Tomorrowland'

Disney's latest blockbuster, Tomorrowland, invites viewers to enter a futuristic world of robots, jetpacks, and flying trains.

It's a glimpse of a hyper-technological future many would love to visit — including none other than Walt Disney, who channeled his own vision of the future into theme parks like Tomorrowland (a section of The Magic Kingdom) and EPCOT (a theme park in its own right). In a featurette, the creative team behind Tomorrowland shows off original clips of Walt Disney, describing ideas that eventually inspired the new film:

"Many of the things that seem impossible now will become realities tomorrow," says Disney. "A beautiful tomorrow just a dream away. That says we're going places. There's progress ahead."
