Alfred Hitchcock: The Art of Making Movies, also known as The Art of Alfred Hitchcock 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]
