==History==
The Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant takes guests back to a Californian drive-in movie theater set in 1955. To this end, the the tables that guests sit in are shaped like 1950's convertibles, while the whole restaurant is oriented towards a large screen showing B-Picture trailers.
The 45 minute loop that plays in the Sci-Fi Dine in restaurant was curated by Imagineer Stephanie Keith, who spent hundreds of hours searching through film libraries, private collections, and the national Film Archives in Washington DC<ref name="all> https://yourfirstvisit.net/2018/06/08/a-friday-visit-with-jim-korkis-the-sci-fi-dine-in-theater-at-disneys-hollywood-studios/ </ref>. According to post production supervisor Louise Gladden:
{{Quotation| “It was a challenge to make a piece of film look good but not too good. We needed to keep some of the scratches, which add to the charm of the film.”<ref name="all"/>}}
In addition to the B-Film trailers, the Sci-Fi Dine-In Restaurant's montage also includes two MGM animated shorts, News of the Future reels, and a compilation of old Disneyland clips set to the song Great Balls of Fire.
