The hat at Disney/MGM is fine, but did they have to block the Chinese Theater?<< Because instead of folks like John Hench and Herb Ryman who understood when and when not "less is more" worked, you have highly paid people at Disney who need to keep busy as to justify their salary.
Originally Posted By FerretAfros I just read in an aticle on Mice Age that they will be shipping the Darling children from Peter Pan off to the Walt Disney Studios Paris, for a new entrance to the Toon Studios area. If they leave, the castle will look strange, covered with characters around the middle, empty near the top, and then Tinkerbell all alone at the very top. I think this is a good sign that the decorations will be taken down.

Very few of the posters here have been able to see the TDL version. In and of itself, I think WDW's is a fine show. >> a cute show. Nothing spectacular but fun <<
Originally Posted By leemac <<Other than the fact that the show is apparently less than it's original in TDL? >> To be fair this isn't actually the truth. The TDL show is a little more plussed but otherwise the same (the Lights of Romance were beautiful though). Turgid story, sexist dialogue and terrible music. I don't see anything ever remotely positive about either show. The sooner it gets tugged the better.

Originally Posted By ChiMike I agree with Lee. And I think both shows are putrid. They can perform something of this quality anywhere - get it away from the castle and start using the castle as it was intended.
Originally Posted By leemac ^^ MK has had poor stage shows for as long as I can remember. I'd prefer venues like the Galaxy to remain empty if it is only going to get filled with this stuff. I always thought it was crazy not to have a decent show in the park. The park really is crying out for a Hyperion. 8k of people disappearing from the sidewalks every day for 30 minutes to an hour would help the park immeasurably.

Hey, you buys might even be right about the Cinderella shows at some level. I'm not a theater professional, and maybe you are. But I like what I like. And when somebody says in writing where I'm going to see it that something I thought I liked is fact "putrid," and I don't know if they're joking, that to me is a little more than a "Yes, you might also be right at some level -- but the show certainly could be better." That person has just told me that my opinion is flat out wrong. I must admit -- when professional movie critics dump on some movies, I may still go to see the show! And sometimes I even enjoy them!
