Re: Disney Urban Legends!
I haven't heard of the dismantling of Cinderella's Castle, but I remember during the Keys to the Kingdom Tour that the castle came in prefab pieces....so not far fetched.

Re: Disney Urban Legends!
Speaking of both Cinderella Castle and the Contemporary rooms, a lot of buildings are assembled from pre-fab/sub-assemblies, and a lot of cars for that matter. It makes the "final assembly" faster, but it doesn't mean they are modular and can be taken apart easily (if at all). You should see the cranes required just to put lights on the castle for Christmas - they start MONTHS in advance. To take it apart, now that would be something to see. I think it makes an excellent urban legend though because it sounds plausible!

Re: Disney Urban Legends!
ok so maybe I've been living under a rock but I read on that snopes page that in the Hunch Back Of Notre Dame during the song "Out There" Bell from Beauty And The Beast has a cameo. So I looked it up and sure enough she does.
YouTube - The Hunchback of Notre Dame - Out there original Watch the video and you can see her (very small) best at 2:49 but she shows up for the first time (Blurry) at around 2:45 2:47. If you haven't seen it I'd check it out. She's to the right of the fountain walking down reading a book. (So like her! lol) AND If you look at 2:53 the man has the Magic Carpet draped over his right arm. Wow...This is neat! |

~*~*~*~*~* the photographic image of a topless woman can be spotted in the background of the movie "The Rescuers' is absolutely true and has been proven true snopes.com: 'The Rescuers' Topless Scene Click the link to check out the picture from the movie. You'll be shocked! And who would a thought that in 1946 Disney produced a film called "The Story Of Menstruation" It was co-produced with Kotex to teach pre-teen girls about Menstruation, supposedly. It only educates at a superficial level, so it does not go into heavy detail for the animated "Ram's Head"/ Reproductive System sequence. The Story of Menstruation is believed to be the first film to use the word vagina in its screenplay. This is proven true snopes.com: The Story of Menstruation and also by imdb.com (internet movie database) The Story of Menstruation (1946) I also stumbled upon some very interesting bloopers from the Little Mermaid movie. YouTube - The Little Mermaid Goofs It's amazing the things you miss in movies. lol Now for the Not so true stuff... It is claimed that supposedly one of the castle spires on the cover of The Little Mermaid home video was deliberately drawn as a phallus (penis) by a disgruntled artist. This has been proven false snopes.com: Little Mermaid Phallus If you read the article I've posted in the link you'll find out that the artist didn't even know it had happened until after the cover went to print. It's also claimed that the visual appearance of Tinker Bell in Disney's 1953 animated version of Peter Pan was modeled after Marilyn Monroe. snopes.com found this to be false. snopes.com: Tinker Bell and Marilyn Monroe Margaret Kerry, who also voiced a mermaid in Peter Pan provided the model for Tinker Bell. Kerry easily recognizes her own body language in the 1953 film. So did her second husband, Jack Willcox, whom she once took to a "Peter Pan" screening. "I was so excited and nudging him," she recalls. "'There I am!' I said. 'Jack! Jack! Jack, that's me!' He just leaned over and said, 'Margaret, I'd recognize those thighs anywhere.'" Another famous claim is that Maternal figures (mothers or fathers or some times both) were typically absent in Walt Disney's animated films because he felt responsible for his own mother's death. snopes.com: Walt Disney's Motherless Films While they can't assign a definitive "true" or "false" status to this theory because analyzing the motivations underlying artists' production of creative works is an inherently subjective process, they are saying that the evidence indicates it's merely a product of coincidence. The pattern of "motherless" Disney films was established well before the death of Walt Disney's mother tragic death in 1938. I think the most common claim is that Walt Frozen Disney Disney arranged to have himself frozen in a cryonic chamber full of liquid nitrogen upon his death, and he now awaits the day when medical technology can make his re-animation possible.snopes.com: Walt Disney Frozen This is also false. The privacy Disney maintained concerning his personal life extended to his death, and the lack of details available about his funeral and burial arrangements — combined with his reputation as a technological innovator has helped foster the story of Disney's cryonic suspension ever since. Urban Legends Reference Pages: Disney (Suspended Animation) Available documentation indicates that Walt Disney was in fact cremated. Although Disney's preferences regarding the disposal of his body are not public record (instructions or provisions for his funeral and burial were not included in his will), other publicly-available material is entirely consistent with the claim that he was cremated. |

DD2 hasn't turned her nose up at any Disney movie, but I haven't tried Hunchback with her yet. I have a feeling she'll love it though because big, rousing songs suck her right in! ![]()
