The Miscellaneous Thought Thread

I mean “Evermore” was better than the entire Aladdin film. But may have originally been written for the animated BatB ?

To my knowledge, the only song that was originally written for the film that didn't make it in was "Human Again," which was later added to the Broadway production and the 2002 Special Edition of the original film.

I believe Menken/Ashman were pulled in to work on BATB after they had already done some work for Aladdin, and by that point, Ashman was dying, so it would track that there weren't a lot of deleted songs on the cutting room floor. If there were, they almost certainly would have been added to the Broadway Musical.

More bad social median press for WDW reopening. What's next? Someone getting eaten on the dinosaur ride?

"When Disneyland opened in 1956, nothing worked."

"Yes but John, when the Pirates of the Caribbean breaks down the pirates don't eat the tourists"

Oh that’s right. That was the one that was written for the animated film.

The following words were uttered during a family dinnertime Disney movie debate. I felt they needed to be shared.

"Frozen 2: Norwegian Boogaloo"

I have seldom been more angry and infuriated at a film than I was with the BATB remake. Just impossibly garish, unnecessary padding galore that doesn't go anywhere, and Emma Watson is many things but a good Belle is not one of them. The only thing I appreciated was that they decided to write new songs instead of shoehorning in songs from the Broadway show, thus admitting without saying it out loud that all of those unnecessary Broadway songs are awful.

Whatever audio engineer that sucked the life out of her singing did her no favors (regardless of whether she can actually sing or not). On the upside, I'm glad they wrote Evermore as it became my go-to audition song pretty quickly.

No offense to anyone that likes these shows, but all these competition reality shows just need to go away.

I miss Future Corps and its origin Drum and Bugle Corps. It's about 4 years old, its an encore piece that is barely rehearsed, but its Disney.

That's awesome!

The problem (besides it being $230) is that I could see spending hours putting this together and when it's all done my daughter would say, "Wait, it doesn't actually play?!"

Yeah, it is. There was a better video that my daughter and I found awhile ago, but I couldn't find it. Sorry, you got the 2nd tier hamster video. lol...

When I watched this video with my son, he couldn’t understand why the guy sniffed the game cartridge before putting it in the game system, I had to explain that he isn’t sniffing it, he’s blowing into it like we all used to do when the games would get glitchy! Lol

If you put a Lego Mega Man cartridge in it, you'll be having to press that pause button over and over again to not lose.
