Another interesting digital device accompanies a notebook of visual effects in films like "Pinocchio," "Fantasia," and others. But the book itself is too fragile for the public to personally inspect. So visitors are treated to a digital tabletop display where they can use their fingers to change pages, zoom in and zoom out, and so on.

One particular example of the thoroughness with which the museum has been designed is the Herman Schultheis Notebook...Although it is an item of special interest to film historians and students of special effects, the notebook is now easily accessible to everyone, thanks to the museum’s interactive digital installation that allows visitors to study each page, zoom in on photos, drawings and text, and view related film excerpts.

One of the most fascinating objects here is an enormous notebook created by Herman Schultheis, a technician in the camera-effects department in the late ’30s, in which he documented how images were produced in “Pinocchio” and “Fantasia.” Next to it, an animated display of the book responds to touch, so you can almost feel the creators’ imagination at work as they transmute real objects into fantastical washes of color.

Every gallery is crammed with touch screens and interactive exhibits designed to bring static drawings and documents to life.

In Gallery 5 spectators can interact with the film and documentation of Fantasia in a "Shultheis Notebook".

If that sounds boring, don't worry...there are 21st century touches everywhere...Touch-screen monitors allow users to browse through relic documents that would normally be kept under glass.
