00:25Mr. Lincoln retired on New Year's Day in 1973
00:28when the Walt Disney story moved into the Opera House.
00:31However, fans were so insistent about bringing the president back
00:34that Lincoln returned in 1975, generating the longest title of any attraction so far,
00:40the Walt Disney story featuring great moments with Mr. Lincoln.
00:44Updates in 1984 and 2001 enhanced the presentation with new special effects and better sound.
00:50Lincoln's voice was performed by Royal Dano,
00:53the character actor with a long career in movies and TV shows.
00:57Dano was 42 when he first recorded the Lincoln vocals and died in 1994 at age 71.
01:03Paul Freese spoke the original narration introducing the attraction
01:06and Buddy Baker provided the heart-swelling music.
01:09As for the mechanical president,
01:11Disney legends Roger Broge,
01:13Harriet Burns,
01:14Mark Davis,
01:15Blaine Gibson,
01:16Bob Gurr,
01:17and Waffle Rogers
01:18help make great moments great.
01:20Welcome.
01:21In a few minutes, the theater doors will open and you will find ample seating.
01:27As a courtesy to other guests, we ask that there please be no flash photography or videotaping during our show.
01:37As a reminder, portions of our show include loud sounds that may be too intense for young children and those with sensitive hearing.
01:47And now, we ask that you direct your attention to the screen.
01:52Hello, my name is Matthew Brady and I had the honor of being a photographer during one of the most important periods in American history.
02:17Back in the 1850s, photography was still considered a new art form.
02:23In those days, cameras had no shutters and no film.
02:27We would simply remove the lens cap and expose the image on a fragile glass plate.
02:34Professional photographers were considered artists and I was considered one of the best in the world.
02:40As my prestige grew, celebrities of government, theater and society flocked to my gallery to have their portraits made.
02:50One day in 1860, a tall man with large ears and a long nose walked in for a sitting.
02:59He was an Illinois attorney named Abraham Lincoln.
03:04Just one year later, that same man walked into my studio for another sitting.
03:11This time, he walked in as the 16th president of the United States.
03:16And no president had ever taken the oath of office with such a heavy burden on his shoulders.
03:23His stance against the westward expansion of slavery caused 11 southern states to declare their independence from the Union.
03:32The nation was splitting apart, but President Lincoln was doing everything he could to keep it together.
03:39We are not enemies, but friends.
03:44We must not be enemies.
03:47Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection.
03:54But despite that appeal, it was not long before he had a war on his hands.
04:00A civil war.
04:02Almost overnight, my gallery was filled with young soldiers wanting to have their photographs taken to send off to loved ones.
04:11Now, imagine that you are a young soldier on leave here in Washington.
04:17Your name is Private John Cunningham.
04:21Naturally, you would come to my gallery to have your photograph taken.
04:25Well, Private Cunningham, step inside, and my associate Anthony will assist you.
04:32I'll be with you in just a few minutes.
04:39In just a moment, the theater doors to your left will open automatically toward you.
04:45Please stay behind the line on the carpet until the doors have fully opened, and watch your step as you enter the theater.
04:52There is no need to remove your headphones until the conclusion of the presentation.
05:04Let's see.
05:05It must be...
05:08Private Cunningham, right?
05:10Mr. Brady will be with you in just a moment.
05:16Soldier?
05:17We are nearly ready to make your photograph.
05:19Anthony?
05:23Darn it.
05:25Anthony, is the glass plate ready?
05:27Uh, just a minute, Mr. Brady.
05:30As soon as the plate is in the counter, we shall be ready.
05:33But before I immortalize you, I think you need a haircut.
05:39Anthony!
05:42Sorry.
05:44Give this soldier a trim while I ready a new plate.
05:46All right.
05:47Hold still.
05:48Don't worry.
05:49I've cut lots of people.
05:50I mean, their hair.
05:51So, that you've seen a lot of action, I'm thinking of enlisting myself.
05:52I'm already used to taking orders.
05:53Hold on.
05:54Hold on.
05:55Hold on.
05:56Let me see.
05:57Oh, what's that?
05:58And what's that?
06:00Oh, what's that?
06:01Oh, let's do.
06:02Oh, that's a lot of action.
06:03I'm thinking of enlisting myself.
06:04Oh, I'm already used to taking orders.
06:05So, that you've seen a lot of action, I'm thinking of enlisting myself.
06:12I'm already used to taking orders.
06:21Hold on, let me get that hair off you.
06:28Ah, you look much better.
06:31Now, hold still.
06:36So here you've come to Washington to meet the President.
06:39If so happens, I'm on my way over there as well.
06:42You're welcome to come along with me if you like.
06:45Got it.
06:46Good. Take the Private's plate to the darkroom, Anthony.
06:49Right.
06:50Carefully.
06:51Then gather my equipment for the White House.
06:54So, Private Cunningham, are you ready to meet Abraham Lincoln?
07:00Well, here we are at the White House.
07:16My goodness, this Washington weather.
07:19The heat doesn't get to you, the insects surely will.
07:25Hold still.
07:32Oh, look.
07:33There's the President's Secretary, John Hay.
07:36Mr. Brady, the President is just finishing up with Frederick Douglass, but he wanted me to send you right in.
07:42Thank you, Mr. Hay.
07:44Excuse me.
07:45Come with me.
07:46Mr. Brady, please go ahead and set up your equipment.
07:51Thank you, sir.
07:52And who is this young soldier?
07:54Private Cunningham.
07:55It's Private Cunningham.
07:56I'm very glad to meet you, young man.
07:58Please, sit down.
08:01Have some coffee.
08:07Excuse me.
08:08That's Frederick Douglass sitting opposite the President.
08:11President Clinton, enlisting black troops in the Army was a substantial achievement, given your stance when the war began.
08:18Yes.
08:19When the war began, I insisted it was to preserve the Union and not free the slaves.
08:25But since I issued the Emancipation Proclamation, the nature of the war has changed.
08:31Then you must give black soldiers the same pay you give white soldiers.
08:35If we win this war, it will bring a new birth of freedom to all Americans, white as well as black, Mr. Douglass.
08:45Mr. President, I must take my leave.
08:48But I assure you, I will continue recruiting black soldiers.
08:52And I assure you, Mr. Douglass, that in the end, they shall have the same pay as white soldiers.
08:59Thank you, Mr. President.
09:00You're very welcome.
09:01Good day, sir.
09:02Mr. Douglass.
09:04Well, Mr. Brady, how would you like me to pose?
09:08I'd like you to look natural.
09:11That is exactly what I would like to avoid.
09:14Excuse me, I must ring for my secretary.
09:20Mr. Hay.
09:21Yes, sir.
09:23I can't find a thing on this desk.
09:26Would you light the lamp?
09:27Of course, sir.
09:28What is this?
09:29An invitation to speak at the Gettysburg ceremony. I think you should decline.
09:42Mr. Hay.
09:43No, Mr. Hay.
09:45This could be a chance to tell the nation what we are fighting for.
09:49Leave me alone a moment, everyone.
09:51Please.
09:52Wait.
09:53Probably telling him a word before you go.
10:00My boy.
10:02I know you must get back to the army now, and continue to do your duty.
10:07And I must get back to mine.
10:10Let's hope for both our sakes, we can end this war quickly.
10:14Goodbye.
10:15And may God bless you.
10:17Hey, Cunningham.
10:18I hear you met old Abe.
10:19What was he like?
10:20Quiet in the ranks, soldier.
10:21Tell me later.
10:23Keep it up, keep it up.
10:28Forward, please.
10:29Please.
10:30Please.
10:32Please.
10:34Hey, Cunningham.
10:35I hear you met old Abe.
10:36What was he like?
10:37Quiet in the ranks, soldier.
10:39Tell me later.
10:40Keep it up, keep it up.
10:43Forward, boys, boys!
10:44Please, ladies and gentlemen.
10:45We'll be starting our presentation at Mr. Lincoln in just a moment so I can have you step over this way.
10:50The doors here on my left will be opened toward you automatically in just a moment.
10:54Once inside of the theater, we do record that there'll be no smoking, refreshments, or flash photography.
11:01Our show is about 16 minutes in length, but please make sure you look down and watch your step of your internal picture.
11:07Promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.
11:14To ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
11:22These immortal words, when first they were written, proclaimed to the world an idea new among men.
11:30This was the American dream, the prayer for the future.
11:36But that golden goal was not to be had without cost.
11:42The American way was not gained in a day.
11:46It was born in adversity, forged out of conflict, perfected and proven only after long experience and trial.
11:56Our nation's greatest crisis occurred when Abraham Lincoln was our president and our protector.
12:05For Abraham Lincoln gave all to save the Union.
12:09My country, if you have been taught doctrines, conflicting with those great landmarks of the Declaration of Independence.
12:25If you have listened to the Declaration of Independence.
12:27If you have listened to suggestions which retaliation is not the truth, let us get the statue booked in which we find it and tear it out.
12:41Now let us stick to it and let us stand firmly by it.
12:46Abraham Lincoln became president faced with a terrible threat of civil war.
12:56A thing he dreaded, yet a calamity he was prepared to meet if he must.
13:04Without union, the Constitution is only a piece of paper.
13:12I know there is a God.
13:14I know there is a God.
13:15And that he hates injustice and slavery.
13:17April 12, 1861.
13:20Port Sumter.
13:21The Canada spoke for war.
13:24Civil war.
13:26Violent.
13:27Devastating.
13:28Beautiful, aren't you?
13:29Now had come the reign.
13:31The supreme test that would decide whether a republic founded on liberty could survive.
13:38of Europe and of America.
13:39And do you watch kings?

13:43The heavenly peace movement.

14:04Two brothers on their way .
14:07As they marched along their way
14:11The fife and drum began to play
14:15All on a beautiful morning
14:19One was gentle, one was kind
14:31One was gentle, one was kind
14:35One came home, one stayed behind
14:39A cannonball, don't pay no mind
14:43A cannonball, don't pay no mind
14:49If you're gentle or if you're kind
14:53It don't think of the folks behind
14:58All on a beautiful morning
15:05Fondly do we hope
15:11Fervently do we pray
15:12That this mighty scourge of war
15:15May speedily pass away
15:17With malice toward none
15:21With charity
15:23And his offer
15:24To do all which may achieve
15:27And cherish a just and lasting peace
15:30Among ourselves and with all nations
15:33Abraham lives one with us
15:48And we are one with him
15:51We pay tribute here
15:57Not to a man who lived a century ago
16:00But individual
16:02Who lives today
16:04In the hearts of all freedom loving people
16:07His prophetic words
16:09Are as valid for our time
16:11As they were for his
16:13And now
16:16The skills of the sculptor
16:18And the talents of the artist
16:20Will let us relive
16:22Great moments
16:23With Mr. Lincoln
16:25A good definition
16:36Of the word liberty
16:39The American people
16:44Just now are
16:45Are much in want of want
16:48We all declare for liberty
16:53But in using the same word
16:57We do not all mean the same thing
17:01What constitutes
17:05The bulwark of our liberty
17:08And independence
17:09It is not our frowning battlements
17:15Our bristling sea coasts
17:19These are not our reliance
17:21Against tyranny
17:23Our reliance
17:26Is in the love of liberty
17:29Which God has planted in our bosom
17:33Our defense
17:37Is in the preservation of the spirit
17:40Which prizes liberty
17:42As the heritage of all men
17:45In all land
17:47Everywhere
17:49Destroy this spirit
17:54Destroy this spirit
17:54And you have planted
17:57The seeds of despotism
17:59Around your own doors
18:02At what point
18:07Shall we expect
18:10The approach of this
18:11By what means
18:15Shall we fortify against them
18:18Shall we expect
18:22Some
18:22Transatlantic military giants
18:26To step the ocean
18:28And
18:28Crush us in a flow
18:30Nothing
18:32Only armies of
18:36Europe
18:37Asia
18:38And Africa combined
18:39Could not by force
18:42Take a drink from the Ohio
18:45Or make a track
18:47On the Blue Ridge
18:49In a trial
18:50Of a thousand years
18:51At what point
18:55Then
18:55Is the approach
18:59Of danger
18:59To be expected
19:00I answer
19:03That if it ever reaches
19:05It must spring
19:08From amongst us
19:09It cannot come
19:13From abroad
19:14If destruction
19:17Be our life
19:18We ourselves
19:21Must be the orphans
19:23And finished
19:24As a nation
19:27Of free men
19:28We must live
19:31Through all time
19:32Or die by suicide
19:35Neither let us be
19:39Slandered from our duty
19:41By false accusations
19:42Against us
19:43Or frightened from it
19:45By menaces
19:46Of destruction
19:47To the government
19:48Nor of dungeons
19:48To ourselves
19:49Let us have faith
19:53That right
19:55Makes right
19:56And in that faith
19:58Let us to the end
20:01Dare to do our duty
20:04Amen
20:05God
20:06We must be
20:08God
20:10We must be
20:11God
20:12Come
20:13We must be
20:13God
20:14We must be
20:14God
20:17America, in wonder and love, in your spirit free, we sing to the King.
20:47Amen.
21:17Amen.
21:47Seven years ago, our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation, conceived
22:02in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
22:12Now we are engaged in a great civil war, that the nation shall, under God, have a new birth
22:22of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish
22:32from the earth.
22:42Amen.
22:43Amen.
22:44Amen.
22:45Amen.
22:46Amen.
22:47Amen.
22:48Amen.
