VIDEO of "Enchanted Stitch Room"

Oh and i found a full show video, if anyones interested:

Thanks :D. I really enjoyed this show (even without understanding Japanese), and I am anxiously awaiting its arrival in MK.

I loved Lilo & Stitch the movie, and was disappointed with SGE like many here (and the ensuing Stitch overkill in the parks). This version of the Tiki Room really does capture the spirit of "lovable" Stitch. I liked the inclusion of bits of original music along with music from the movie and the TV show (which I love).

I'm with you. The show wasn't Stitch overkill either. Maybe if the show comes to the MK they might add a little too it, but as it is now Stitch isn't the only focus of the show. This isn't "Stitch and a few birds". The show still has a very Tiki Room feel, but with an added Stitch song at the end. If they somehow worked the theme song in somewhere, I don't see any reason why I wouldn't really enjoy that show.

I just watched that full video and I am not at all a stitch lover or liker, but, he is just too cool and adorable in that tiki room, I loved it. A perfect fit and he doesnt reak havoc or anything, just fun and upbeat singing.

The show however seems way too short, but I liked the songs and music. I noticed there was no rain storm, there was some thunder but no rain. Ever since I was a kid I loved the rain storm through the little windows to what looked like was outside, would hate to see that effect go.

And it would be kinda sad if they took out the "in the tiki tiki room" song just when the park will be celebrating its 40th anniversay, I hope they think about that good and hard first. Other than that would love to see this show come here.

AE fitted in perfectly with the New Tomorrowland theme, but its problem was the lack of extremely noticeable signage warning of its nature. I know there were warnings on the sign and in the attraction's name, but it needed something that no one could miss.

Interestingly, AE was made with help from George Lucas. If it returns, I wonder if we'll get AE: Special Edition? :lookaroun

Don't forget new CGI characters in the backrounds....;)

Ah, thanks!(We need a translator though!:lol: What was it in Hitchhiker's Guide, a Babel Fish?LOL)
 
Well, the unifying theme of the original wasn't birds, it was tiki-ness or polynesian-ess. The Tiki room has always featured performers who weren't birds: flowers, tikis, etc. Stitch is Polynesian, albiet an adopted polynesian, not a native born! Iago is Arabian, and Zazu comes from the grasslands of Africa. Believe me, I would prefer no character tie-in, but I can see Stitch fitting in better than Iago and Zazu.

Meh, I think guests see the bird tie-in quicker than an alien dressed in a hawaiian shirt. I have always just looked at Zazu and Iago as tropical or exotic birds. I think it works. :shrug:

It's not the end of the world, not the end of WDW, not the end of Tomorrowland. Calm down.

I want to know how old he is.

I can see why! I don't know if anyone else has noticed this (but I always look at the poster's writing style for similarities when troll-hunting), but DisneyNut2007 seems to remind me of Merf in his later days here on the forum... Anyone else? :lookaroun

Please don't let Alien Encounter return to the Magic Kingdom! It was too intense and violent to for that park and had to go away for that reason!

That is pure opinion. The attraction has quite a following behind it, and was revered as one of the few attractions to really push the limits of Disney-mildness when it came to a shockingly in-depth experience. Disney has yet to produce anything similar to the attraction to have gained a sizable following. Alien Encounter, if anything is an attraction from Yesterland that does stand a chance of returning. Whether you interpret my previous statement as opinion or fact, thats fine, but I mean what I say when it stands a chance, and that I've been given similar support from my sources on that one.

You're out of your mind! AE was ALWAYS the MK's worst attraction, since it NEVER belonged there.

UNM was always great and its too bad that thick-headed individuals such as yourself refuse to see that and get it through your heads! Embrace it immediately or I'll have Iago come to your house and scream at you through his megaphone non-stop until you loose your hearing completely. :fork:

Frankly, we have problems here with people calling out others for varying opinions. If you dislike an attraction, that is fine, but you don't need to shove your distaste down someone else's throat. Honestly, I'd prefer sitting through Under New Management (all the while hearing Iago "scream at you through his megaphone non-stop" as you put it) to reading your harshly negative and belittling posts any further.

Except that it's not an opinion. It's a fact, a hardcore fact, that AE was extremely intense and violent, especially for an MK attraction.

Fact: Alien Encounter is the top requested attraction at Magic Kingdom to receive requests for a return, over Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, the original version of Pirates of the Caribbean and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

Fact: Alien Encounter was toned down within its first 6 months, with minor toning done throughout it's duration (much like Stitch's Great Escape has received since its debut).

Fiction: Alien Encounter was extremely intense (meaning in this context: unfit for a theme park environment) and violent (meaning in this context: graphic, gruesome, horrific or a combination of the above, normally aimed at an adult/mature audience).

Considering what Alien Encounter was originally like, you received a really toned down version. Everyone has their limits, but the vast majority of guests could handle or deal with the intensity of the experience, enough for it to have stayed open for more than eight years.

Thank you very much for sharing that with us! :wave:

Once again, you are in the minority. Most WDW guests love UNM and that's the truth, so get used to it and embrace it or suffer the same fate that I intend to bestow upon CThaddeus. :fork:
Stitch IS Tomorrowland-ish and you know it, so don't be stupid! :fork:
EVERYTHING in Tomorrowland is cool, so get used to it!

Your tone is so far demeaning in ways that are not needed here.... Whatever wrath you have in store for CThaddeus or anyone else here, please take it to another forum where that kind of thing is accepted (or encouraged)...

That is impressive, considering a 2004 Disney Magazine poll showed that the top 3 most missed attractions in WDW (not just MK) were 1. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, 2. Mr. Toad's Wild Ride and 3. The Skyway. Now that was 4 years ago and most people may not have been aware of AE's closing but that is still interesting.

Out of all of those, AE would be the easiest to bring back (20K would have been plausible but it was better to get rid of that than update it like DLR was doing to their sister attraction at the time :rolleyes:) and I would gladly welcome it's return so I could see it in person IF it came back.

I wonder what it is in EPCOT...or the rest of the World for that matter.:veryconfu

After seeing the full show - I think Stitch would be a GREAT addition to the the Tiki Room. With that said, I do hope they find a way to keep the original Tiki Room "song" in it.
But he really does fit in much better. In what others have said - this is the Stitch I tend to remember from the movie - not the "causing all havoc" side.

And I have to say - the AA is pretty remarkable too! The way he takes a few steps/blinks/moves his head/sings/etc etc.

As for AE - I was lucky enough to see a "preview" of the attraction as they were testing it way before it opened to the public. It was way more intense - as it had a lot more total darkness and more "3D" sounds coming from the speakers at your head. I personally have always thought that AE was a GREAT addition to the MK and to Tomorrowland. Out of the couple 40-50 times I saw the show, I never once heard a complaint to a Cast Member. I had several friends that worked the attraction at the time, and they never got any complaints, now I'm not saying City Hall didn't get a few. But AE had a line from open to close of at least 30 min or more. It literally put you IN the attraction - of which I found to be one of the best aspects of the attraction. It felt like you were there experiencing it, not just "watching" it.

As for AE being the most intense attraction?? - have you ever watched how many children come out of Snow White crying and scared? I mean think about it - apples that are poisoned, skeletons, rocks "falling on your vehicle", witches, death, magic mirrors, etc etc...

It ain't that happy of a story people... Does good win over evil in the end, sure, but there's a lot more evil in the story than good. Just ride the attraction again and see for yourself.

That's just my $0.02 worth...:wave:

Oh...and the video link below was found under the full length Tiki show. Talk about Stitch causing havoc on the Castle! I found this to be quite neat! Although I thought to myself - how cool would that be for WDW! Then thought about all the b*t*hing and complaing from parents about getting soaked and not being about to record it. hahaha Just watch and see what I mean. Very "cool" effects if you think about it. Oh..and watch the crowd. They are VERY into it - clapping, jumping when the performers jump - they know the show.

Just because it was intense and not fit for most of the audience at the MK, doesn't mean it was a bad attraction. Its one of the most creative and story driven attractions disney has ever made.

Where's the ever-sensible Enderikari when he's needed? :(

Not here at the moment... thank god.

BTW, I just finnished watching the youtube video, and this is really what they should do. No question. However, I'd make a few changes:

*Open the show with original tiki room song

*sing Hawaiian rollercoaster ride

*Moment with bird carousel and planets ( or whatever the heck that part was, and the birds will be without stitch ears )

*Stitch arrives and they sing upbeat, traditional polynesian songs rather than the lilo and stitch tv show song

If those changes were made and the show was added to WDW, it would be great!
