I really liked Donald; and Stitch as Brando from the "Wild One" was genius...(Stitch would have been great as Darth Vader too )

th</a> along with clips of the Disney things which happened during the Rose Bowl Parade telecast. There's also stills from the commercial (with wacky comments for each) and stills from the parade, too.

I was able to see it, but couldn't get the sound...for some reason, but the sound was working for every thing else.

Sara, if you mean the clip that is on the Disney Echo, the commercial uses RealMedia/RealVideo. Make sure you have the latest player for it from www.real.com

Oh, one more thing: Unless you're clicking the link where it says you'll have streaming video, all the other Real Media files there are (as it is written in the instructions with them) designed to be downloaded to your computer and then played from there. If you try to play them directly without downloading them, that's when you won't hear any audio on those RealMedia files.

Yes, they were, DLandDug, I think probably by the same "Mickey's Twice a Christmas" CGI crew.

They looked slightly better than "Twice Upon a Christmas" to me. It may have been a different team.

Mickey and Goofy still looked pretty bad done in CGI to me...

Stitch was great, though!

I saw the short version this morning. I thought it was cute and well done.

Blacksheep: Stitch (the one in Innoventions) Go visit him! Then ask what his favorite movie is! Bet you get what you wished for!

Aladdin...been talking to Stitch about Star Wars for a couple years now ...

(his "Luke; I am you're father" is absolutly hillarious)

It is meant to be the first time that Feature Animation has collaborated with Parks & Resorts for a commercial.

I loved it, I think it is such a great concept to have the characters coming from all across the world to converge. Plus Kelsey Grammer's voice is perfect.

I love the commercial... It's a good idea and the CGI characters aren't too bad (some are better than others)...

The only problem I have is with the voice over (not Kelsey himself, but what he says)... He mentions there are 'several new attractions' coming... Um, aren't we just getting Buzz as a 'new' attraction? Other than that, great commercial... I'd love to see a couple other commericals (maybe featuring other characters or something) based on this concept throughout the year...

attractions are not just limited to rides, that's including the new parade, 50th exhibit, etc., all of which can be considered attractions
