Walt Disney Company 100 at [Cabochon] Disneyland
- Thread starter Californian Elitist
- Start date
Not gonna lie, some of their merchandise has looked very tacky to me. What I don’t understand is why their merchandise is a reflection of Disneyland.

Fun fact that the Tokyo Disney Resort Disney100 version will be a tokyo disney exclusive design.
Flagship disney store Japan "Disney 100"will also have a unique merch.
Besides that, WDC has partnered with multiple companies like Japan Airlines with a Disney Wrapped airplane with exclusive merchandises.
Major local TV network FUJITV and Disney will have a yearlong collaboration with Disney 100.

They understand they don't need to because there are plenty of people who will make excuses for them here if they're lazy, or who genuinely have no idea how different the parks used to be from what they are now.
Very underwhelming.
Was this already mentioned? Because I don't see how these movies represent 100 years.

I've never been a fan of artwork that conflates DCA and Disneyland. Disney's ridiculous mishandling of the Disneyland IP the last 20 years weakens Disneyland as a brand.
It's obviously to late now- but it should have been "Disney's Anaheim Resort" with "Disneyland" and "Disney California Adventure", and there should be to separate popcorn buckets- one for each park. None of this "Disneyland Resort" with "Disneyland Park" nonsense.
It is interesting that this artwork has the Burbank studio 'Dopey Drive' sign, the old green park benches that haven't been in use in over 10 years, and the Chicken of the Sea Pirate ship.
Also interesting that Grizzly Peak is represented but not Cars Land, that the Tiki Room is represented but not Pirates, and I like the subtle nod to Soarin'.
I do find it interesting that the artistic depiction of Walt Disney here seems to be a younger version.
I agree that there should be separate designs for the respective parks. I didn’t notice the Walt Disney Studios signage on there until you pointed it out. Seems very random and arguably out of place.

I noticed they aren't bold enough to add Mission Breakout to the collage.

True. I’m not completely anti Walt on merch. I think it can be done tastefully. I don’t think this is one of those times. A lot of it probably has to do with how he looks in this art style though.
Like this is nice…
Don’t like when he’s some modern looking cartoon. I also feel like if he wanted to be a cartoon it probably would have happened at some point between the 20s - 60s when he was alive. Or maybe it did?

I take it as a history of the company via:
Walt’s arrival in Hollywood/pre Disneyland w/ the Flowers and Tree reference, Mickey Mouse Carthay Circle that doubles as a rep for DCA and Snow White’s iconic opening, the studio street sign and Tinkerbell.
Then you have pre or opening day Disneyland with the train, carousel, bench which also act as representing what led to Disneyland as rhe bench could be seen as the famous park bench Walt sat on when struck with the idea. Opening day Disneyland is anchored by the castle, Dumbo and Jolly Rodger/Chicken of the Sea.
The next layer is the 60s/70s via Matterhorn, Small World, Tiki Room, Haunted Mansion, Space Mountain.
Modern Disney is shown via DCA and Chubby from Runaway Railway.
At least that’s what I got from looking at it

Id usually agree but I’m ok with it since it’s the all encompassing 100th. I’d feel differently if it was Disneyland’s 100th.
Yeah there’s never a good reason for “Disneys Anaheim Resort.”

This is why I strongly admire how Tezuka Productions (Japanese production company that owns all of Tezuka's works) handles modern illustrations and depictions of Osamu Tezuka (creator of Astro Boy, Kimba, Unico among others) aka "The God of Manga" in Japan. His likeness is handled more respectful and tastefully. To the point that his head was featured on windows at near the company's main entrance.
His face is even used on the official Japanese website honoring Tezuka and his works.
