Yet another Tapestry...

After hearing that ToD is leaving and that I have seen my last puppet and RPU, I have decided that why don't I bit it a nice farwell and create a special verson of it? Here's my idea....

Tapestry- just that, not of_____. This nice little parade will be a moving tribute to 9-11. Now, I'm not some big emotional sucker, but this would be a very nice verson, a cross between Exhibit 13 and U2's Superbowl half-time show.

More to come! I have put all my other things on hold for this!

Becuase I have nothing to do, here is the opening of Tapestry.

After all the warnings and such, the music of all the countrys dims then fades. You don't hear anything. Then all the lights go out. Your in darkness. You hear Walter Croncite (sp?)

"We live in a new world. One we have never experenced. One where the ones we love are closer, where our pride is bigger, and where we stand side by side in kindness, compassion, and love. It was not easy to understand out roots. We had to go through a huge metamorphisis that started at 8:19 [TT Note: I can't remember exact time.] on a Tuesday morning."

A light comes up and we see a longe Angle Girl out on the promanade about 10 feet from the gates. It has 100 names on it. Each one someone lost that day. The letters are in all sorts of fonts, all written using a sparkaly, silverly cloth.

The familiar music from ToN starts (the old opening, with people talking), only now with some 9-11 related narations.

"We are once again part of the human chain of love and understanding which we forbit ourselves from entering. Here today the Sage walks among us..."

HE'S BACK! Yep, the old Sage walk from behind the Angel Girl past her, then to the front of the parade rout.

"...walking his great millennium walk. The dawn of a new day approaches when the circle of life is made whole again, where the nations and people celebrate the gift of life together, to the rithem of drums, and song of dance. Here today, we are part of this growing circle to celebrate our re-birth, a never ending pagentry where our love ones echo their heatbeat to the rithm of drums, where their souls rise to greet us again, in an incredible TAPESTRY!"

Now the Drums are out. On them there are names of children lost and grandparents. The banners also have names. The numbers have been removed and more names have been placed there.



More comming soon! So how am I doing?

It's a really neat idea. Love the last part of the narration. Although I know you weren't looking for someone to say this, cuz I know they would never do this- but I'd think Disney would try to shy away from a direct tribute so as to not open themselves up-if you know what I mean. But you have a way with words-very moving! I'm a HUGE ToN fans and have gone over in my head a couple of treatments the parade could have to make it EVEN better than the original, but it needs to go away for a while, so it can come back fresh. Maybe if I ever get that job.......:animwink:

That's fine. I love ideas. My main idea is a tribute, but it still won't have direct refrences. I am thinking of removing some dialogue and replacing it to remove some obvious things. But the names will stay. The main idea isn't just a tribute (which you will find out latter), but more of a world wide re-birth using the souls of the lost ones as a stepping stone. Get it? The puppets would be the spirits of the ones lost.

I do think too that Tapestry needs to go into retreat for a while. It's such a good parade not to be used again. Even a half- As*ed ToN (cough, ToD) is better than many parades out there.
