Main Street Cinema

Movie theater at Disneyland

The Main Street Cinema is a small movie theater currently located on Main Street, U. S. A. at Disneyland and previously at the Magic Kingdom and Tokyo Disneyland.

The version at the Magic Kingdom is also located on Main Street, U. S. A., and opened with the park on October 1, 1971. As with the Disneyland version, the cinema at the Magic Kingdom originally showed silent films before switching to Disney cartoons. By 1994, the cinema showed the Mickey's Audition short that was previously shown at Disney MGM Studios. Here, it aired under the title of Mickey's Big Break. In June 1998, the Cinema ceased showing cartoons and began to show previews of then new Disney animated films. By 2005, five of the screens were removed from the building when it became a venue for guests to play the Virtual Magic Kingdom online game, and the building was renamed as VMK Central, but a single screen remained in the building which was used for showcasing promotional trailers or videos. VMK Central closed on September 30, 2007, and was replaced with a gift shop called The Art of Disney that November. It remained as such until 2021, when the store was closed and the artwork formerly housed there was relocated to a shop in Fantasyland. In May 2021, the venue was used as a temporary location for the Sweets and Treats shop. For the 50th Anniversary Celebrations, the venue became home to The Magic of Walt Disney World, containing a shop known as the Walt Disney World Vault Collection Store. In 2023, the venue transitioned to a shop selling Mickey Mouse merchandise, and by February 2024 the marquee sign was changed to read "Mickey Mouseterpieces".

The Cinema at Tokyo Disneyland was housed in the World Bazaar, and operated from the park's opening day on April 15, 1983, until October 20, 2002, when the cinema closed to make way for an extension to the Emporium shop next door, with the combined lot being renamed to the Grand Emporium in December 2002. The Main Street Cinema signage was removed in the process.

Although the attraction does not exist in Hong Kong Disneyland, a facade does for the building that houses the shop inside. The first shop in the building was Midtown Jewelry, a jewelry shop that operated from the park's opening day on September 12, 2005, until April 14, 2016. As part of the park's 10th Anniversary celebration, a Duffy the Disney Bear themed shop named My Journeys with Duffy opened on July 26, 2016, becoming a joint Duffy and Friends themed gift shop and Meet & Greet attraction.
