“Walt Disney a Magical Life”

I'm not Walt Disney. I do a lot of things Walt Disney would not do. Walt Disney does not smoke. I smoke. Walt Disney does not drink. I drink. ― Walt Disney

 

[SageOfTime]

That was a very sincere-feeling emotional moment with Feed the Birds playing on the piano, and then they brought out Meghan Trainor.

 

[SenorQuesadilla]

The show is definitely going later than 8:30. No doubt. Just like last night.

The clockwatchers and the idea that they can't go a bit later is very weird...but so are many of the posters here.

 

[Brian]

Since they didn't announce it, I will: they are finally going to unfreeze Walt's head stored beneath Pirates of the Caribbean for a hyper-realistic AA likeness of him.

 

[Tha Realest]

I hope they don't give Walt dialogue he didn't actually say

I hope it’s just the HUAC testimony

 

[BasiltheBatLord]

They're going to make the Walt AA lecture the audience on the importance of DEI.

 

[disneylandtour]

People at home were spared 30 minutes of a cosplay cover band singing 80s songs.

 

[CaptainAmerica]

They found some actual talent to sing this one at least. Is that Meghan Trainor?

 

[Piebald]

If Lion King attraction is based on the 2019 film that may be one of the dumbest things they've ever done. Imagine they announced a Jungle Book attraction for AK and it's based on the CGI film

 

[Casper Gutman]

There’s nothing wrong with an animatronic Walt if we can have other animatronic historical figures.

Walt’s visions and dreams are more relevant now than ever, and I expect this to be done extremely tastefully.

They sure aren't relevant to the Disney Corporation. Look at EPCOT.

 

[Tom P.]

I am actually watching Megan Trainor sing Feed The Birds? Really?

 

[hopemax]

Does she have enough clout to be the "music rights issue that affected streaming?"

Great. First a CGI remake full of what looked like animated taxidermy, and now a ride with...AA animated taxidermy.

What the hell is WRONG with Disney these days? This is gonna suck!

 

[MisterPenguin]

They should have AA Walt put on a whole nightclub/torchsong show with cigarettes going and a scotch in his hand. He can sing "I've Got a Crush On You" and "La Vie en rose."

 

[MaximumEd]

I should have went to sleep and just caught up in the morning. This singing is killing me.

 

[Tha Realest]

OK... Perlmutter has sold all his shares and Pelz lost interest.

Iger's services are no longer needed.

I belly laughed.
But. This is awful.

 

[Charlie The Chatbox Ghost]

Thinking of that Blaine Gibson quote where he explained why there shouldn’t ever be a Walt animatronic… this feels very corporate cult in a way.

 

[MisterPenguin]

The music format is falling flat. People last night were way more in to the presentation. A lot here are clearly bored.

Surprisingly, so are some of the singers.

[ToTBellHop]

Didn’t she just serve as godmother of the newest Royal Caribbean ship? She gets around.

 

[disneylandtour]

What part of lion king did they ever go down a waterfall in? Someone remind me here. I'm lost.

I’m sure they have salt domes in the pride lands, too.
