All summer long Disney is hosting a train tour of the US. The interactive 40-city train tour includes a 3D sneak peek of film footage from the upcoming movie "Disney's A Christmas Carol."
The first stop of the "Christmas Carol Train Tour" is Los Angeles this Friday, May 22 through Monday May 25. The train will be at Los Angeles Union Station (800 N. Alameda St.) from 9am to 9pm Friday through Sunday and Monday 10am to 6pm. Check out the rest of the schedule HERE to see when it stops near you.
Among the highlights of the tour are authentic artifacts on loan from the Charles Dickens Museum of London; artwork, costumes and props from the film; demonstrations of performance capture technology; and a chance to morph your face into one of the film's characters using HP TouchSmart PCs. At each stop along the way, a state-of-the-art Disney Digital 3D Theatre will be erected, where guests can get a sneak peek of "Disney's A Christmas Carol" and see other exclusive behind-the-scenes materials from the movie.
