Disney has released the official trailer for their newest Disney+ documentary series,Behind the Attraction. Narrated byCriminal MindsstarPaget Brewster, the ten-part series is set to take audiences “behind the curtain” of some of the most iconic attractions in Disney history, from the original Disneyland’s classic attractions to cutting edge feats of design likeStar Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.
Brewster adopts the traditional, sugary Disney announcer voice for her role as narrator, over clips of new and classic attractions alike. The series is “the ride of a lifetime," according to her, featuring never-before-seen footage and photographs of how famous Disney attractions came to be, and how they’ve been refined as new ideas (and technology) have surfaced.

“This is the kind of making of’ that dreams are made of," Paget says over the trailer, which features clips ofGalaxy’s Edge,Tron Lightcycle Power Run, andit’s a small world, alongside archival footage ofWalt Disneyhimself, and something supremely 80s that a Disney Imagineer calls it, “the Darth Vader ballet." The series is set to cover a wide variety of Disney attractions, so there’s certainly something involved for every Disney fan, adult and child alike.
The trailer features soundbites from celebrities and members of Disney’s production team alike — includingDwayne Johnson, who is also producing the series, alongside long-time producing partnerDany Garciaunder their Seven Bucks Production banner. (Paget also drops a line about Johnson’s starring role in the upcomingJungle Cruisefilm, adapted from the attraction of the same name.) The series will also feature exclusive interviews with Disney Legends and past and present Imagineers, includingBob Weis,Jeanette Lomboy,Kim Irvine,Scott Trowbridge,Tom Fitzgerald,Scot Drake,Carmen Smith, andJoe Rohde.Behind the Attractionis produced byHiram Garcia,Brian Gewirtz, andKevin Hillfrom Seven Bucks Productions, andBrian Volk-Weiss(who also directs the series),Robin Henry, andCisco Hensonfrom The Nacelle Company.
