Alfred Hitchcock: The Art of Making Movies (also known as The Art of Alfred Hitchcock and/or Hitchcock's 3-D Theater) was a part- 3-D film, part-live action show at Universal Studios Florida, and one of the theme park's original attractions. [1] Directed by Susan Lustig [2] and sponsored by Kodak, [3] [4] the attraction commemorated Alfred Hitchcock's 43-year association with Universal Studios. It featured attacks from birds similar to Hitchcock's film The Birds in the pre-show area, and featured the famous shower scene from Psycho in the main show with narration by Anthony Perkins, who played Norman Bates in the latter film. [5] It closed on January 3, 2003, and was replaced by Shrek 4-D later that year. [6]

Fun fact: The Art of Making Movies was originally presented by Kodak (yes, Universal took a page out of Disney's playbook back in the early '90s).
