If memory serves, Neuschwanstein Castle was the model for the Disneyland castle.

Disney is popular with many Japanese.

As someone who abhors such theme parks, I've never been there.

My cousin was the lead project manager in designing and building it. He was an imagineer at the time.

Very interesting video. Thanks.

In my opinion there was one Modernist architect who made it work: Ludwig Mies van der Rohe

The Barcelona Pavilion [1929], the Seagram building in New York, 330 North Wabash in Chicago, and the Toronto Dominion Centre in, well, Toronto are beautiful examples of the "less is more" balance.

Of course, there have been countless imitators, which resulted in lots of banal skyscrapers.

Le Corbusier's plan for central Paris.

Although Le Corbusier and his Plan Voisin pales in comparison to the Japanese Metabolist architects's plans for Tokyo.
