I miss when Disneyland and Walt Disney World used to have more film variety with older parades and shows. Especially during the 1970's till the late 1990's.

I agree, just because some of those movies were not a financial success Disney should not ignore its history and just try and shove a handful of movies or the latest movie alone in the parks.
When they have brought out some of these less represented characters there is no shortage of people lining up to get that rare picture with them. Some of us would be happy with at least that

I actually like The Black Cauldron, and I can think of a few Disney films that are far worse.
The Great Horned King is one of Disney’s best villains.

What I really appreciate about OLC handling Tokyo Disneyland is that they are able to give more love to not only lesser known Disney films, and shorts. But you even get to see characters that you hardly see anywhere else.
The previous daytime parade "Happiness Is Here" had a float for The Aristocats featuring Marie, Toulouse and Berlioz, while you see a walk around and updated version of The King Of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland during that section.
Disneyland Paris also did something similar staring in 2012, where you get to see Mr. Walrus,March Hare and The Cheshire from Alice In Wonderland, Bianca and Bernard from The Rescuers out and about (Usually during a private event or involving "The King").
Considering Alice and the Mad Hatter are very popular with guests in Disneyland. It would had been more entertaining if you seen him with the March Hare and the Cheshire Cat.
Even Maleficent's goons make an appearance occasionally and were at a former show at Tokyo Disneysea.

same here, I also enjoyed the move. Did it have issues, of course but that doesn't take away the idea of some of those great characters and the Horned king sequence where he rises the dead could be quite a spectacle for WOC.
I really think Disney should revisit the idea and make a new movie. A live action might be quite interesting. Maybe this time they could take advantage of the 3d technology to really make the Horned king come out of the screen.
I remember when the movie came out how they tested the projection system for the movie but it was too expensive to add to theaters. They main battle sequence was suppose to have the Horned king supposedly project out of the screen.

You see something like this would be awesome, It really amazes me that a resort like Anaheim which has a huge passholder population that include huge Disney fans does not have things like this. Not everything has to be big Promotions like Pixar Fest, How about just hiring extra people and have a summer of Disney characters. They can call it "Friends Come Home" or some bull and pack the parks with Characters and special food and merchandise and make a killing in revenue.

Despite the event being small, I really love how both Disneyland and Walt Disney World did a one week event called "Long Lost Friends" week where they had rare characters meeting guests. Disneyland for example, brought out Flora, Fauna and Merryweather and others while WDW brought out the Three Little Pigs, and Ludwig Van Drake.
Same with Walt Disney World, I remember DCA had a short-lived character dance party called "Dancing With Disney" which lasted from 2012 till 2014 where guests can dance with various Disney characters and most of them were rare. Marie from The Aristocats and Clarice from from the 1953 Chip N Dale short "Two Chips And A Miss" actually made her first Disneyland appearance and interacted with guests during that period before it ended.
These days you only get to see these two during specials events (Such as Disneyland's Birthday ceremony, the reopening of the Disneyland Railroad two years ago, and during the 25th Anniversary of the opening of Mickey's ToonTown) and that's about it.

I think they should move fantasmic to dca. Not only will it fit better there since it is california's equivalent to dhs, but it will replace the, what I think is lame, world of color.

Just be happy that Frozen didn't make it into the Fantasmic revamp. Plus, Fantasmic is my all time favorite Disneyland show. It's been my favorite ever since the year it first came out. Love both versions for different reasons. It should not go. The one change I wish they would have not done is removing Peter Pan for Pirates of the Caribbean. I have mixed feelings for the Pirates scene.

Me neither. Which is weird, I've probably seen every other Disney animated offering at least a few times.
I think there was a collective tune out of Disney Animation throughout the 2000's.
The only reason so many of us have seen the weaker pre-renaissance faire is that VHS gave the entire back catalogue a second wind. For many of us here that was within the realm of childhood/adolescene so there is some forgiveness towards those films.

i was actually slightly entertained by Home on the Range. if it wasnt for the annoying voices they used for the cows some of the other elements were pretty good. the villian was good as was the whole train segment.
Brother bear i cant seem to remember much about except for the moose.
and i always enjoyed the original Petes dragon and actually thought the remake was a hidden gem that people missed in theaters. it was such a nice family movie.
So... Mickey's going to have another nightmare?

I've said it once and I'll say it again...
NOTHING is as over-represented as the Little Mermaid in DLR. One of the very few gifts from Pixar Pier is somehow a reduction in Mermaid.
It's literally impossible for them to host a show, parade or otherwise without Ariel. Even the Frozen Girls are absent now from several night offerings.
The thing that's extra baffling to me is Lion King. I think it was definitely overexposed in the 90's... but from a park perspective (worldwide) it's weirdly very limited. The most prominent usage being the stage show in AK/Hong Kong. I personally feel the same for Aladdin from the big four Renaissance films, but I at least understand that was arguably the smallest of the four. Plus technically there is a soft-land for it in Tokyo.

Most non ubers love mermaid the most out of the 90s films. Why exactly that movie I'm not sure. I guess just a lot of them grew up with it.
This one I don't need youtube for a source, I just know a lot of people who love mermaid.

I remember brother bear boring me, but I was oddly interested in home in the range. Maybe because I was little and home on the range just had more action to it.
Pete's dragon has a unique concept. Maybe I will watch it, maybe not. I like the msep float of it though.

Most definitely there is. I never saw any of the early 2000s to mid/ late 2000s movies in theatres. Most of them I bought to round out my Disney Blu Ray collection but still haven’t got around to seeing those two. I think I watched Chicken Little because I was intrigued as it’s seemingly the least liked animated film in Disney’s official canon.
