* ClumsyCopyrightCensorship: Califia visits Creator/MetroGoldwynMayer during the filming of ''Film/TheWIzardOfOz'', and advises Louis B. Mayer to have the Silver Slippers re-done in ruby red, to better show off the then-new Technicolor technology. When the costume designer imagines what the Ruby Slippers should look like, they don't look ''exactly'' like they do in the final movie, likely so that Disney wouldn't have to pay MGM another licensing fee.

''Golden Dreams'' gave its last public showing on September 7, 2008. Disney tore down most of the theater afterwards, to make room for the ''[[Disney/TheLittleMermaid Little Mermaid]]-themed ride ''The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Undersea Adventure''. Today, all that remains of the ''Golden Dreams'' building is the replica of the Palace of Fine Arts rotunda, which Disney repainted and now uses as the entrance of ''Ariel's Undersea Adventure''.

''Golden Dreams'' was a ShortFilm about the history of California created for [[Ride/DisneyThemeParks Disney's California Adventure Park]] at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, opening with the park on February 8, 2001. It starred Whoopi Goldberg as Califia, the Queen of California.

Golden Dreams was a film about the history of California. It was a featured attraction at Disney California Adventure Park at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California, opening with the park on February 8, 2001. It starred Whoopi Goldberg as Califia, the Queen of California.

Califia explains that she is the spirit within California, and an inspiration to many famous Californians. Goldberg appears in some of the filmed sequences that follow as Califia—in disguise—to comment or offer encouraging words to various characters who find themselves in challenging situations.

The 70-mm film highlighted admirable and regrettable eras and incidents in the history of California, including vivid illustrations of injustice.

The film, among the most sophisticated in any of the Disney parks, ended with a montage of notable events and Californians.
