The Disney cartoon you thought you'll never see

Okay, let's put it like this: Suppose that you're doing a quiz about Walt Disney animated productions. And one of the question is: Did Walt Disney produced a cartoon that talk about vagina, uterus, rectum, ovary, etc...and almost only about that during 10 minutes? What would be your answer? Probably something like " are you kidding? "

Well, actually not. As Walt Disney productions DID produce a 10 minutes educational animated that is talking really about all that, and very clearly!

Allright, it's more a " curiosity " than an animation masterpiece as you will see on the youtube video below, but, hey, if one day you really do a Disney quiz, you'll be able to answer yes, "The story of menstruation" was a true Walt Disney production!

The OTHER Spiderman attraction

We all know the famous Spiderman attraction at Islands of adventure, and it's for sure a wonder, but did you knew that another 'Spidey" attraction actually exist , inside the indoor Marvel super heroes adventure city complex at Niagara falls?

Although the one at IOA is superior, this one is not bad at all. Not in 3D, but with projection effects and , most of all, interactive, as each guest have a laser gun and must hit targets to help Spiderman to get rid of the villains. Below is a video of this "other" Spiderman attraction.

Also, i remember you that Marvel did announce the creation of a Marvel theme park in Dubai , opening in 2011.

Walking with Dinosaurs, The "live experience" video

You love dinosaurs? You love Audio-animatronics? Of course you do! So you're going to love these two videos of the incredible "Walking with Dinosaurs, The live experience" 9 million $ show inspired by the BBC series, here filmed at the Brisbane Entertainment centre.The creative team, with Sonny Tilders as Head of Creature Design, made 15 life-size animatronic/puppet dinosaurs, including Tyrannosaurus Rex, Brachiosaurus and the Flying Ornithoceirus 'the largest creature to ever take wing... with a maximum wing-span of 12 metres (40 feet) and up to 3 metres tall when standing on all fours'. The creatures came to life at the world premiere on 10 Jan 2007 at the Acer Arena in Sydney, and now tour in Australia before taking off around the world.

One of the producers, Malcolm C Cooke, has previously been involved with other puppetry productions including "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" and the second production of "The Hobbit" in 2000.

The first video show you the workshop, the creation of these amazing dinosaurs, and , the second one show you some parts of the show itself.

I bet you that, when you will see it, you will think: what the hell is Disney waiting for to create a show using this half-Audio-Animatronic half-pupetteer technique?

Instead of the Animal Kingdom "Nemo, the musical" show - that should fit better in a fantasyland theatre - this is what they should do - and, hey, this Animal Kingdom theatre is only 100 yards from the Dino land!

The only thing that Disney will have to improve a bit from this "Dinosaurs live experience show" is the stage decor itself. But that's the easy part.

Watch this, you're gonna love it!

Giant Free-walking-Audio-animatronic T-Rex video!

Remember WDI "Lucky the dinosaur" that California Adventure guests were the first to discover last year? Everybody loved him, no? And it's true that the Imagineers did a great work on their new two-legs AA baby.
But there was just a problem. Remember this carriage that Lucky was linked to?...supposedly there to hide the electric batteries - and, probably too, to help Lucky in its balance...

Well, the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology in Japan has created some incredible new robot- animatronic dinosaurs that can actually walk around.
And with nothing behind them.

And the japanese have began by the one we'll all love to see walking alone in the streets: a giant T-Rex that can walk and turn by itself ! The other movements are not that bad, too, although they still can be improved. But this part should be the easy one for WDI.

David Copperfield haunted house video

This is one of the great magic tour from David. Everything is perfectly set, and the use of Bernard Hermann's "North by northwest" score is a perfect choice for this new and much improved version of the classic "chamber of spirit" magic tour.
If you've seen it before, you'll be happy to see it again, and if you've never seen it, you're going to love it. The beginning of the video , because youtube don't allow more than 10 minutes clip have been cut, but nothing special happened before what you will see, David just asked people from the audience to check the rope, etc...
And don't miss the "prestige" - the finale of the tour - really stunning!

Building Disneyland : a pictorial tribute

When Walt announced the building of the first Disneyland in Anaheim, that was the easy part.
Now that he had announced it to the world, of course, he really had to built it!
So, today, here is a pictorial tribute to the building of the very first Magic Kingdom.
From the top: Walt with the first renderings of the different lands. The Disneyland model ( but i'm not sure this photo is circa 1954 ) . In 1954, Walt on the land , thinking about the "right place". The building of the city hall, of Main street, of the castle at different time of its building. Walt supervising the building of the fort at the entrance of Frontierland. The building of the Carousel. Workers on Main street. Walt looking at the "final touch". The arrival of the Tommorowland rocket. The building of the entrance before opening day, and this famous picture of Walt before the opening; walking through the castle.
