By the way, the same section mentions Walt Disney World directly -- but in the article about Steven Spielberg directing "Lincoln." He makes the statement, on page D2, that, "It's not the animatronic Abraham Lincoln at Epcot Center at Walt Disney World. But it is the true historical record."
Yes, he said Abraham's AA was in Epcot Center! (He probably meant "EPCOT Center," but that is not what they quoted! LOL.) Anyhow, my Disneyphile came out when I read that....
He was discussing how historical records had described Abraham Lincoln's voice as a high-pitched tenor, not the "stentorian" (loud, powerful) voice many people would have imagined, although I have to say that I consider the Disney AA version somewhat staid and understated for most of it -- layered and baritone, notsomunch loud and "stentorian." And I thought that the actor who did the voice was the one most associated with it in film for a long time -- played exactly the way Disney did it -- layered, thoughtful, and humble-sounding yet strong enough, but not overbearing.
Anyhow, I thought it was interesting that Steven mentioned it, but also indicative that "Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln" (at the 1964 NY World's Fair and later DL) and later "The Hall of Presidents" (WDW) have had a cultural impact.
