As Len Testa & Jim Hill continue their exploration of the Joseph Mankiewicz Epcot archive, they talk about how executives from major American corporations like General Motors were often hesitant to embrace some of the big ideas / bold concepts that Joe was proposing for Future World pavilions.

Over the course of this episode, listeners will learn about:

Which US President was on hand at WDW’s Contemporary Hotel as Card Walker officially unveiled Disney’s plans for EPCOT Center

How much money did WED offer as a down payment for Joseph Mankiewicz’ services as a consultant on EPCOT Center’s Future World pavilions

Which story element that Mankiewicz originally proposed for Epcot’s “Universe of Energy” back in 1978 eventually wound up being featured in “Ellen’s Energy Adventure” in 1996

Which two countries -- which signed letters-of-intent with Walt Disney Productions back in 1978 -- didn’t wind up hosting World Showcase pavilions when EPCOT Center opened in October of 1982

What did the longtime voice of Tigger have to do with the development of the first artificial heart
