The Great Movie Ride Celebrity Hand and Footprints Disney’s Hollywood Studios


At the end of Hollywood Boulevard, dead center, stands a magnificent reproduction of the famous Mann's Chinese Theater, home to The Great Movie Ride.

In front of the theater, many celebrities have left their handprints or footprints in cement, in much the same way as has been done at the original theater.
