Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln is a stage show featuring an Audio-Animatronic representation of U.S. president Abraham Lincoln. Originally created by Walt Disney for the State of Illinois pavilion at the 1964 New York World's Fair, the show opened at Disneyland Park in 1965.[1][2] Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln has undergone several changes with advances in Audio-Animatronics technology and has been on a few hiatuses over the decades.
Until recently, Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln was an element of the Disneyland attraction The Disneyland Story Presenting Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln, which opened in December 2009. The show (and attraction as a whole) is currently closed to make way for Walt Disney—A Magical Life, in which Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln will play in rotation with an Audio-Animatronic presentation about Walt Disney himself.[3]
