When Epcot Center theme park opened in Florida, the Journey to Imagination pavilion featured two characters who captured the heart of audiences: Dreamfinder, a bearded character who was a combination of Santa Claus and the Wizard of Oz, and his little purple dragon companion, Figment who was a literal representation of the famous “figment of the imagination”.Imagineer Tony Baxter who helped create the characters recalled that “Dreamfinder was a Santa Claus-type who is wise and older and knows all the great things, a great thinker.

There was an episode featuring Alice who needed help getting back to Wonderland so only a young boy was involved in helping write a story that would allow her to do so and another with Peter Pan who was unable to read so only a young girl was included to help him find his way back to Neverland.The live action was directed by Robin Allison Smalley who was a producer on the series along with Bill Scollon, Peter Sauers and Sallie Zemlin-Kisor. Some of the writing was done by Jamie Simons.While there was newly created animation, often there were clips from classic Disney animation as well. For instance, in Would You Eat a Blue Potato?

I was able to confirm the exact number of films and titles thanks to the founder of their website.
