"We are thrilled to re-visit the Hundred Acre Wood with Disney's CHRISTOPHER ROBIN and the best place to begin the journey is none other than The El Capitan Theatre," said Ed Collins, General Manager of The El Capitan Theatre. "Through August 12, El Capitan Guests will see our display of Winnie the Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore and Tigger stuffed animals used in the making of the movie. These "stuffies" - as they were affectionately referred to on set - were created using manufacturing processes that would have existed in the 1920s when the original toys were made.

And from August 2 through August 5, and August 11 and 12, as Guests enter the theatre they will be entertained by The Side Street Strutters Jazz Band as seen at Disneyland Resort!."

Collins continued, "El Capitan Guests can even be the first to see the movie and receive an exclusive poster by attending our Special Opening Night on Thursday, August 2 at 6:00pm."

ABOUT THE EL CAPITAN THEATRE
Declared a Historic Cultural Monument by the City of Los Angeles and restored to showcase its original lavish architecture, The El Capitan Theatre has been since 1991 an exclusive first run theatre, equipped with state-of-the-art technology, for The Walt Disney Studios. The theatre also hosts live stage shows, world premieres, special events, and screenings of classic Disney films.

In the 1920s, real estate developer Charles Toberman and Sid Grauman built the Egyptian, Chinese and El Capitan theatres. Los Angeles based Stiles O. Clements designed the elaborate cast-concrete Spanish Colonial style exterior; San Francisco architect G. Albert Lansburgh, known for his design of over 50 West Coast theatres and luxury cinema houses, designed the lavish East Indian inspired interior. Originally a legitimate theatre (over 120 plays and musicals were staged), it was converted for film for the world premiere of Orson Welles' Citizen Kane. The theatre then was renovated, reopening in March 1942 as the Hollywood Paramount, a streamlined "art moderne" first run movie house.

In 1989, the Walt Disney Company joined forces with Pacific Theatres and launched a two-year, museum quality restoration of The El Capitan, led by renowned theatre designer Joseph J. Musil. Musil with the supervision of the National Park Service's Department of the Interior, and guidance from conservator Martin Weil and architect Ed Fields, achieved the goal recreating the original 1926 look and feel -- including original design elements such as the ornate plasterwork found hidden behind walls and the opera boxes in the main auditorium.
