All I can say is Bob Gurr!! Yeah!

 

[brb1006]

The first episode is out.

 

[Communicora]

I can't wait for episode two. I hope there is more Rolly Crump. Perhaps they will have a bit on Eptot.

I was actually only mildly excited about the beginning, but ooh boy seeing all of that archival footage scanned in HD?

For real though.

Funny part of the second show of the series in mentioning that the MK opening was thought to be a dud because it wasn't overwhelmed with huge crowds like the original DL was (only 10,000 attending). The reason? People stayed away because they thought it would be too crowded.

Sound familiar?

Anyway... it deflates the theory that a ghost-town opening means failure.

I noticed that too! Very nice, BUT the stream queued multiple times during playback! Its NOT my broadband! I stream Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, YouTube and NONE of them queue during playback. I hope they scale up to fix this.

Magic Kingdom opened October 1 to soft attendance, but was then slammed by Thanksgiving less than two months later.

Galaxy's Edge not hitting Disney's projections 6 months after opening at Disneyland is not as encouraging.

Exactly. and WDW did not have the loyalists and lfiestylers yet. WDW and Galaxy's Edge are not comparable starts.

Moving tribute to Roy Disney in Episode 2.

Another thing to really give this show credit for besides simplyfying a lot of great annecdotes that are well known to Disney fans and presenting them in clear linear ways with sharp design and footage restored, is the acknowledgement of other themed attractions and parks. In the first two episodes they acknowledged Busch Gardens Tampa, Sea World and Knotts Berry Farm as competetors. The Bob Gurr moment in the first episode was also very transparent. I like not getting the squeaky commercialized look all of the time. It is the closest thing to Dateline Disney Modern Marvels, but with company class.

I was also impressed that they acknowledged the massive layoffs post-EPCOT.

Agreed. It is very Waking Sleeping Beauty for Imagineering in the honesty sense. I hope that it can remain that way when it gets to Iger and not just the company heads being ok with this because it is not current.

 

[Animaniac93-98]

How they handle Euro Disney and California Adventure will be interesting to see.

Anything less than the truth would be horrible. I think they will do a good job because they did admit to the greenmail.

 

[mf1972]
