Remember leaving Horizons and seeing this Robert McCall highly detailed masterpiece? Boy, the future sure looks great. I can't wait to wear tight-fitting jump suits with my wife and kids and our dog, standing on a grass hill overlooking our cool-looking city.
Click on the image below for a high resolution version of this image. It may take a couple of minutes to fully load, for it is pretty large. I have yet to see another image of this mural on the web at such high quality. It's a scan from a print I once borrowed from a friend at WDI who has an amazing collection of EPCOT Center printed materials.
Here you see Robert McCall in action. It appears he has some help. I just noticed in the above high res image there are two signatures. One from Robert T. McCall and one from Louise McCall (his wife). Check out the smaller canvas of "The Prologue and the Promise" behind Louise- used for reference, no doubt. Anyone know where that smaller one is today??

What a great blog! It is a pity that I can not find RRS address. If RRS offers a subscription service, I can easily follow your blog!

I'll look into that. Thanks for enjoying the blog!
Not sure where the original smaller reference "Prologue" painting is, but I do have one that was given to VIP guests on Opening Day that was printed in a limited run lithograph.
The original reference painting is sitting in the WDI Information Research Center (IRC) in Glendale.
I wonder where the mural is
