Familiar Sounds
The attraction features several sound effects created by Disney Legend Jimmy Macdonald for Disney animated shorts dating back to the 1930s, some new effects were developed using Macdonald’s original equipment. Also, the tri-tone whistle from Mickey Mouse’s debut cartoon in 1928, “Steamboat Willie,” was used to record the locomotive whistle sound for Engineer Goofy’s train.

Walt’s Love for Trains Comes Through
In the October 1965 issue of Railroad Magazine, Walt traced his rail fascination to his youth: “I suppose I’ve always been in love with trains, as a small boy living on a farm near Marceline, Mo., … at a time when railroads loomed large in the scheme of things and steam engines were formidable and exciting.” Throughout his personal life and professional career, Walt ensured trains have always been a part of Disney culture – a tradition that continues with the Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway.

Designing the Cartoon World
Walt Disney Imagineering consulted with Paul Rudish and Joseph Holt – executive producer and art director, respectively, for the “Mickey Mouse” shorts – to ensure the attraction’s hand-drawn look is authentic to the cartoon. For example, Imagineers added extra floating “lines” around a cactus in the stampede scene that appear as if they’re standing alone in midair, emulating a common technique used in the cartoons to emphasize motion. Also, special painting techniques were used on the attraction’s ride vehicles, so they appear to be hand-drawn, as if in a cartoon.

Nothing Can Stop Us Now
Christopher Willis, award-winning composer of the “Mickey Mouse” shorts, composed the attraction’s soundtrack and co-wrote “Nothing Can Stop Us Now,” the exclusive theme song for Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, with his wife, Elyse Willis. This song will be in your head all day, and you won’t even mind!

Gorgeous Marquee
The attraction’s glamorous marquee features blinking bulbs and hand-crafted animated neon depictions of Mickey and Minnie. Its design cue comes from the extravagant marquees that were custom made for premieres of epic films in the mid-20th century.

Hidden Gems Abound
Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway is full of hidden gems that nod to Disney history. It will likely take many times through the attraction to spot them all, but here are just a few:
- A newspaper features the headline “Oswald Wins!” – a reference to Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, the cartoon character created by Walt Disney that predates Mickey Mouse.
- The Iwerks and Uwerks Waterworks water treatment plant is named for Disney Legend Ub Iwerks, the animator credited with sketching Mickey Mouse for the first time.
- The 1401 Flower Shop is an homage to Walt Disney Imagineering’s headquarters in Glendale, California.
- The numbers 1901 and 1928 can be seen inside the attraction, these are references to Walt Disney’s and Mickey Mouse’s birth years, respectively.
- While there are a few nods to the theater’s previous tenant, The Great Movie Ride, the most obvious is a poster in the carnival scene showing, “The Great Moving Ride.”

Researching the Cartoon World
Disney Imagineers watched every cartoon short in the latest “Mickey Mouse” series countless times while developing Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway (Imagineer Kevin Rafferty had a still from each one pinned to his office wall). They wanted to soak up the essence of what makes the cartoons so fun and endearing, so they could then translate those fundamental principles into a ride-through attraction. Their research is just one facet of the total commitment to authenticity on display throughout Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway.
