Compare this to Walt’s era of Disneyland where the original background painters from the films painted the Fantasyland dark ride murals. It’s more upsetting than maddening, really.1) Build a rapids ride that gets people soaked.
2) Charge $5 to dry off.
3) Decorate dryers with traced fan art.
Imagination! Dream a fantastic dream!
Disney should hold a seance to bring the original background painters back.Compare this to Walt’s era of Disneyland where the original background painters from the films painted the Fantasyland dark ride murals. It’s more upsetting than maddening, really.
Haha, you’re right, maybe there’s no use in complaining. It’s just sad knowing that there aren’t even many employed 2d animators on the payroll that are in a position to work on small projects like this. Sure they are out there. Look at this young person who is a fan of the classic Disney style and is able to nail it! Why doesn’t imagineering hire more people like this? The most “classic” and memorable rides are comprised of vignettes drawn by people like Marc Davis. That’s the kind of stuff that made Disneyland rides stand out from the rest.Disney should hold a seance to bring the original background painters back.
Would be tough to prove theft considering Disney owns the IPIt’s understandable that Disney cannot monitor all fan art and then verify if work is original, but they should make it right. They paid someone to produce this art and that person stole instead of delivering. They should pay the artist who did produce the work and seek action against the thief.
It comes down to the person they hired to produce the art. Did he/she claim to have drawn the image and charge for the work accordingly? Or was he/she up front about the source? Either way, this is sad. Nice bit of attention for the original artist, though.Would be tough to prove theft considering Disney owns the IP
Why did it take them so long to put up dryers next to Grizzly River Run.
