Chris Diamantopolous actually CAN do a good Mickey, as Once Upon a Studio demonstrates. It's when he's directed to be hyperactive zany deranged "LOL this iconic cartoon character is acting like an out of character" lunatic Mickey - the Mickey featured on the ride - that he fails.
Thankfully it's not...It's from a tiktok where the guy dresses up as sorcerer mickey and does Said horrible impression...
I agree, The kids of the kingdom of the Eisner-ian era felt more welcoming and enjoyable to hear and made the parades and shows better..The parades like Magic Happens and shows like Mickey’s Mix Magic and the like that use Pop-y sounding music or remixes. Totally breaks the Disney feel & theme for me. Keep it grand orchestral & big band sounding unless the actual theme of the attraction is thrill, rock n roll, etc. (see DL’s Space Mountain, California Screamin’ or Rock ‘n Roller Coaster.)
One I have heard the CM's hated and has/was removed was the exit song for the original Mission:Space called "Destiny" The song was on a constant loop in the exit area of the attraction and fairly loud. The Cm's have stated it was like hearing Banshee screaming to had hearing it so many times..They luckily had turned off and removed the song as you exit..However, if you never heard it...Here it is...
Again, Not for CM's who worked the first few years..This quote from one of the CM'S explains....
I’ve already mentioned explaining the attraction to people on repeat in the greeter position. As a cast member near the entrance, you’ll also become well versed on President Kennedy's speech about how he wants to send a man to the moon. But the number one thing that becomes a little too repetitive at Mission: SPACE, and I think my fellow ISTC crew members past and present will agree, is a little song called “Destiny.
At the time I was working at Mission: SPACE there were at least three positions for cast members who stood at the exit of the attraction. It’s very typical to be standing there for a good 45 minutes at a time. All the while “Destiny” is playing a 3 and a half minute loop louder than you can possibly imagine. Some cast members I talked to were able to tune it out. Some of them sang along. But I’d say most were like me; they loathed every second of that music track. Next time you ride Mission: SPACE, try to notice how loud the music is when you exit the attraction. Then imagine standing there for 45 minutes.
Oh I'm sure. I honestly don't think I'd have minded. I'm forced to listen to FAR worse on a daily basis.
This one?
