The AFI Film Readers are a series of educational resources that are designed to help children learn about the history of film and filmmaking. These readers are available at the Magic Kingdom in various locations, including the Main Street Cinema and the Magic Kingdom Theater. Movies that are the main focus of their own AFI Film Reader include: Cinderella, The Lion King, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and Toy Story.

The AFI Film Readers are produced by the American Film Institute (AFI),a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and promoting the art of film. The AFI has been working with the Walt Disney Company for over 20 years to produce educational resources for children. Each reader provides a unique behind-the-scenes look at a variety of Disney films and includes interviews with filmmakers, animators, and actors.

The production of the AFI Film Readers is a complex and challenging process. It typically takes about two years to produce a single reader. The first step is to develop a concept for the reader. The AFI team works with Disney to identify a film that would be a good fit for an AFI Film Reader. Once the concept has been approved, the AFI team begins to research the film. They interview filmmakers, animators, and actors. They also collect archival materials, such as production stills and behind-the-scenes footage.

Once the research is complete, the AFI team begins to write the reader. The readers are written in a clear and concise style that is accessible to children of all ages. The readers also include a variety of educational activities, such as quizzes, discussion questions, and vocabulary exercises.

Once the reader is written, it is sent to Disney for review. Disney provides feedback on the reader and makes sure that it is accurate and up-to-date. Once the reader has been approved by Disney, it is sent to the printer. The readers are printed on high-quality paper and are bound in a durable hardcover binding.

The AFI Film Readers are a valuable educational resource for children. They provide a unique behind-the-scenes look at the world of filmmaking and help children to learn about the history of film. The readers are also a great way to encourage children to read and to develop a love of film.
