All the cloying tweeness of it all and the sappy sentiments make me want to rip their heads off. I understand this is a large part of why many people go to Disney parks but I just find the characters and their "OH GEE WHIZ ISN'T IT ALL SOOOOO MAGICAL!!!!" proclamations to be the height of cloying ignorance. Please bear in mind this is my opinion and I DO understand, as I have already said that a lot of people love them(hell, as a child I LOVED MM and thought he was real, but that was when I was a child).
Originally Posted By Mickeymouseclub I know! Somebody on LP called them Bobbleheads and now I can not get that image out of my thoughts when I see a character. I do not like thinking of MM as a bobblehead. And it does seem the characters at WDW bobble a lot more than at DL. Of course, WDW has more "shows" perhaps that increase the dramatic effect needed...Anyway Mickey is still real to me.I still believe.
Originally Posted By Rebekah wonderingAlice, Mickey and the gang not only have blinking eyes but their lips move as well. Its an amazing change and makes the character shows even better when they are used. I am a big fan of the syrupy character driven shows. Part of the rejuvenation that I find when I visit a Disney theme park. R.

While I don't necessarily like the wholesale invasion of the Characters at all the Parks one would certainly expect to see them at the MK. I, for onr, would be very disappointed if I didn't see them out.
Originally Posted By MPierce >> And I noticed that the "Fab 4" characters' eyes blink! How do they do that?? << The way I understand it is the eyes, and mouth movement are controlled by specific hand movement of the characters themselves.
Originally Posted By wonderingalice Thanks, Rebekah and MPierce! I'm also completely into the magic that pulls our heartstrings... "Rejuvenation" is a PERFECT term for what happens to us adults. MPierce, I'm guessing it's electrical impulses of sorts sent from the hands to the eyes and mouths... Is that right? It looks SO great!
Originally Posted By Malin This show was the main reason for me choosing to visit WDW this month. The Castle looks stunning, and I know despite how good the video and pictures, nothing does it justice like seeing it in person. A couple of questions... 1) What nights is this show offered on? 2) Where were the videos taken from?
