THE IMAGINATION INSTITUTE
LINER NOTES
1. HONEY, I SHRUNK THE AUDIENCE (ENTRANCE PLAZA 2001)
Bruce Broughton's classic theme as arranged by Steve Woods for the 2001 edition of the Entrance Plaza atmosphere.
MAGIC EYE THEATER
2. CAPTAIN EO (THE E82 MIX)
Beginning with the dramatic opening by James Horner we quickly transition to opening build up of Michael Jackson’s
transforming song “We Are Here to Change the World” and finally the celebratory “Another Part of Me.”
3. INSTITUTE OVERTURE
The rarely heard preshow introduction version of the "HISTA" Theme.
4. TRUE COLORS
The 1994 slideshow style pre-show commercial for Kodak. This unknown cover is the closest version to the original demo
produced by composers Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly which was radically redone before it was initially release by Cyndi
Lauper. It became a platinum hit shortly after its release in 1986.
5. INVENTOR OF THE YEAR AWARDS SHOW
The Score, written by composer Bruce Broughton, continues the playful tone and themes originally created for the film
predecessor “Honey, I Blew UP the Kid.”
THE IMAGINATION INSTITUTE
6. INSTITUTE ATMOSPHERE
The background music for Imagination Pavilion; this excerpt is the original material produced for the pavilion’s second
incarnation. Essentially a long-form nouveau-electronic tribute to the (at that time) retired One Little Spark. The rest of the
loop features the score to “Honey, I BLEW UP the Kid” (1992) and the main titles of “Flubber” (1997).
7. INSTITUTE LOBBY
Upon entering the pavilion we walk past several artifacts of famous inventors in the institute lobby where the frenetic soundscape of the exterior gives way to a more relaxing arrangement of Imagination institute themes.
8. JOURNEY INTO YOUR IMAGINATION
Easily one of the most controversial and (deservedly) maligned attractions ever created, "Journey into YOUR Imagination" nevertheless showcases an interestingly contemplative score presented here in its entirety.
9. ONE LITTLE SPARK (2003)
The score and finale song to Journey into Imagination with Figment; the remake features Figment’s current sidekick Dr.
Nigel Channing (Eric Idle).
ENTRANCE PLAZA
10. ONE LITTLE SPARK (ENTRANCE PLAZA 2001)
In 2001, the Main Entrance Plaza was given new custom background music and with it several new versions of classic and
current Epcot songs. This time One Little Spark was given a more appropriate and rousing marching band rendition. The
track ends with one of several “Legacy” themes interspersed throughout the loop. At the time of its debut, the song was
still retired and not until two years later was the song restored to the attraction.
TOMORROWLAND 2055
11. CHANGE THE WORLD (TOMORROWLAND 2055)
Much has been written about the unrealized Tomorrowland 2055 Project. Aside from one painted ceiling, the full
Background Music was commissioned and is now the only thing that exists from the project. The music loop features
carefully interwoven themes from Tomorrowland’s past and EPCOT Center’s musical heritage. This is one of the new
variations. This is also the first Michael Jackson song that was reinterpreted for a full orchestra.
