I'm surprised the Pete's Dragon float lasted that long. It's currently 41 years old. I think the only way you can translate some Disney animals characters into a park character would have to take the Pluto approach. Believe me, I seen the way some of the Lady and the Tramp characters looked when I seen the Disneyland 10th Anniversary special from 1965. Boy has Disney come a long way with their character costume designs since then.
Yeah I prefer FoF than Soundstational
Plus FoF is more energetic and fun.
That isn’t in the actual parade, you know. (Thankfully)
Was it ever? I have visions of a preview audience staring at Mickey in stunned silence.
And The Aristocats, I love how Happiness Is Here gave love and spotlight to lesser known Disney films and cartoons that rarely get represented at the other parks with a healthy small dose of Pixar. Instead of the typical daytime parades where it's mostly popular Disney films of recent years.
Best of all no one except the true Disney fan would know what it was. 90% of APs would never figure out where they come from.A float or unit with the Cauldron Born for the Halloween parade would be pretty epic though:
It probably just sounded so bad on the rehearsal CD that it gave you vivid nightmares.
"Oh... that's from Hotel Transylvania."
Tourist getting off Haunted Mansion Holiday: "I don't remember any of that from ParaNorman."
I would rather they take Star wars, Guardians, Tron, Avatar and Marvel and make a whole park just for them ala Hollywood studios kind of deal. Not a fan of what are not traditional Disney animation movies but Disney acquisitions being put into the parks.
The Marvel idea won't work due to the Universal Orlando contract.
It’ll just be his head on the wall, like a hunter’s trophy.
