After a recent trip to Orlando, where I visited the Disney Parks as well as Universal Studios, I was reminded of two parks from the area specifically while visiting the Bavaria Film Studios.
Immediately as we began to approach the sign at the front of the Bavaria Studios gate, my mind returned me to the trek up to both Disney's Hollywood Studios (formerly MGM Studios) as well us Universal Studio's studio (the studio lot). Within those two parks there are many attractions to see and rides to be ridden. The Bavaria Film Studios, while similar in many aspects, was also very different.
The Bavaria Studios begin with an entrance area with a gift shop and food, however once you enter, there are not as many things to do, but rather to see previous films produced at the site. I found this to be very interesting as well as entertaining. It was like taking a trip through the movies themselves.
Overall the tour was an excellent glimpse into how a studio is run in another country. We got to see clips as well as receive information on how shots were done and how the picture was made.
Das Boot and The Never Ending Story were among films to be made there, and while taking the tour throughout the lot we visited the sets and studios used to make these movies. Essentially we were placed inside the movies, the atmosphere was there and for a brief moment it felt like you were in those movies.
