It's coming here too.

One thing to note is that the list price on the back of the booklet is $20,
and it costs $27 (at least that's what I paid) to order from Sotheby's.  Hmm.

Another thing I noticed was that some of the reproduced cels didn't seem
anywhere near as sophisticated as their movie analogue in terms of color and
shading.  Maybe this is CAPS in action.  I'm going off memory here, of course;
I suppose I'll be doing a lot of freeze-framing when I get my copy of the movie
to see if this is so.  :-)

I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who plans on going to the exhibitions
or the auction.  (Now, if only I had a couple thousand dollars lying around
somewhere with noplace to go...:-)

 Pompous assholes like you are the real problem - no - nothing like this could
possibly have gone wrong at the great Disney world or the even greater Walt
Disney world - screw you - before you start calling someone a liar you should
at least have the slightest bit of proof to back it up... but of course 
Disney is always right in this group so what am I thinking of.... perhaps if it
was your child you might think twice before mocking someone else.....

Subject: Network Affiliates Wooed By Disney Afternoon
Distribution: world
Date: 5 Sep 92 19:50:08 CST
Organization: The Amiga GateWay BBS * New Orleans, La.

Excerpted from "Electronic Media" August 24, 1992:
 
    LOS ANGELES -- Buena Vista Television says that its latest success
story in its quest to get affiliates to add "Disney Afternoon" shows
involves an NBC affiliate that's pre-empting "Santa Barbara."
    "It's a market in the 70th-ranked area," in the Midwest, says Buena
Vista President Bob Jacquemin, who declines to identify the station.  He
says that the station projects it will increase its net revenue by $750,000
a year by adding the animation block.
    Buena Vista is faced with losing carriage on many FBC affiliates when
they pick up the expanded two-hour Fox Children's Network slate this fall.
That's forced the syndicator to find new stations to carry the shows that
make up "Disney Afternoon."
    As the markets get smaller, that often means pitching affiliates not
normally in the animation business in the afternoon.
    "First and foremost, our priority is to really remain on the
independent
television stations and we would like to work in concert with Fox.  We
believe that there is room," Mr. Jacquemin says.  "But if the independent
believes that they don't have room for us, then it's real simple:  We have
to go find a place," he said.
    Regarding the pitch to affiliates, Mr. Jacquemin says, "We're not going
to get a No. 1 station.  Chances are we're not going to get a strong No. 2.
But we are getting No. 2 and No. 3 stations in the market."
    Disney says it's signed up other affiliates to carry its cartoons this
fall, but can't identify them yet.

Not so. I worked at the park for two winter seasons, and Christmas day is
packed.  Parents think that the Disney magic adds to the Christmas spirit. It

  The above is just a long-winded way of saying that Disney got caught and

  No one is questioning that Disney has a legal right to enforce their own
  peculiar brand of dress code.  That doesn't make their code any less
  ridiculous, nor their especially ludicrous enforcement of it in the case
  cited (Queen Mary).

Okay,

Everyone's been complaining about no where good to view
Fantasmic from. Well I'll let you in on a little secret.
I just got back from Disneyland and had the best seats
in the house. And that's no lie. I was seated on the
balcony of the Disney Gallery, high above the heads of
everyone, and directly in front of where it all takes place.
There are only about 32 spaces per show on the balcony, although
it can easily hold 3 times that many, and they are reserved for
VIPs. If the seats are not filled by VIPs, those with reservations
can fill in. Reservations are taken at 7:00 for all the shows at the
bottom of the stairs behind the antique shop.

I'm trusing everyone with this information because as of yet this
little tidbit is not advertiesed. Let's keep it that way so it
does'nt become a zoo.

Have fun...I did!

Happened to my project leader's brother last weekend: they were walking
through Disneyland with their two-year-old boy, holding his hand.
Somebody bumped into them, they lost the boy's hand, and the boy
disappeared.  Panicked, screamed for security, and a good thing: a few
minutes later they caught somebody trying to hustle the boy out a gate,
wearing different clothes and with a haircut.

Scary.

Please.  The paralyzing question "What would Walt have done?" brought
the company to its knees and almost resulted in its destruction in the
late '70s and early '80s.  Let's not start down that road again.

Well, it was re-released back in '87 or '88 as I recall. And I could
have sworn it was out on video shortly thereafter. If it wasn't, I
would expect it to be following its next release, if they follow the
current pattern.
