LOST Donald Duck EPCOT Short Film from Opening Year

[SonnyEcipse]

In my free-time, I was looking through some past Disney Parks related auctions and one of the things I came across that greatly caught my interest was some animation cels from what was listed as a EPCOT short film. The short film was called “Journey to Tomorrow” and featured none other than Donald Duck.

I tried searching online for the short film and couldn’t find anything on YouTube or elsewhere about it EXCEPT for the various auction listings with the animation cels from it.

Here are some of the animation cels that I was able to find:

Somebody has to make a "Lost Media Entry" on this.

For what's worth, I believe these come from Journey to Tomorrow- Destination: Careers. It was a short educational film released in 1984 from the Journey to Tomorrow series.

You can watch it here!

This has to be the only shorts where Casey Kasem voiced something for Disney.

I find it interesting how the educational films they did was the other way to introduce Epcot to the masses. is there a master list of of the Epcot educational films besides the Figment films and this Donald film?

Well dang, clearly I wasn’t looking in the right place. Thanks for finding this!

There's a whole slew of them including field trip shorts with Goofy and Mickey doing Field Trips to different places. One I get a kick out of Is the Goofy field trip roaming through MCO..

There's also "Harold and his Amazing Green Plants", which was loosely Kitchen Kabaret inspired, and the three "Wonders of Life" shorts based on early versions of Cranium Command.

And let's not forget our little Floridian character the Orange Bird..

My pleasure! The film is often mislabeled as simply Journey to Tomorrow (the series name) so it's not easy to find!

Only Destination Career has turn up the others three, Destination: Communications, Destination: Excellence, Destination: Science are still at large.

Second film in the series Destination Science has turned up:

Journey to Tomorrow: Destination Careers and Destination Science have turned up, so that leaves Destination Communications and Destination: Excellence.
I do know that Destination Excellence was sold on ebay probably not long ago with Destination Science in 16mm so I do wonder if they were bought by the same person.

This has to be the only shorts where Casey Kasem voiced something for Disney.

Actually, no! He was in the the film Mr. Wrong, which was a Touchstone film, an episode of Sister, Sister (apparently), which was most certainly Disney show, and an episode of Teamo Supremo (which I vaguely remember seeing on Toon Disney as a kid). None of this is counting his ABC series or films from before Disney bought them that they technically own but will presumably never let see the light of Disney+.

Another fun one is the ones based around Cranium Command with a more laid back party dude version of Buzzy still named Captain Cortex voiced by Scott Menville (Robin of Teen Titans Go and yes many many more shows).

Surprised no one’s contacted him to possibly come out for a future Retro Magic event. Would be fun to have him and Scott Curtis (Buzzy) interact with eachother at some point. Lol

What I want to find is a film strip of Ludwig Von Drake going on If You Had Wings. I was like 6 when I saw it in the early 80’s.
