Thats what Disneyland is supposed to be about.. "..Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams and the hard facts that have created America.." They need to get rid of that 50th show.. enough is enough!

Originally Posted By dresswhites i agree the 50th movie is getting tiresome. i don't mind a film about the history of disneyland replacing lincoln, but the current film is very 50th focused.
Originally Posted By tiki tiki tiki tiki I would be thrilled if Mr. Lincoln was brought back. It really had an impact on me when I was small. I would watch him with my mouth gaping open knowing (and completely convinced) that I had Mr. Abraham Lincoln speaking in front of me! And I remember always paying such close attention to everything he would say. Thanks to DL the attraction made me want to learn all about Abe and is probably responsible for my admiration for him at such a young age. BRING ABE BACK!!

Originally Posted By ni_teach I would also like to see Mr. Lincoln come back. However, it would be great if they brought back the original show. It's not that the 3d-sound show was bad, but it was not as strong as the original show.
Originally Posted By GrandGibsonGirl I agree that they should bring Mr. Lincoln back. It's a classic, and I agree that it fits with the theme of mainstreet. I mean, at some point the 50th anniversary movie will get outdated (well, technically it is already). Who wants to go watch a movie about the 50th anniversary on Disneyland's 75th anniversary???
