assistant: Hello All...
In Germany, they say that "Hunchback of Notre Dame" is the 31st (or was it
the 32nd ?) Walt Disney's "Meisterwerk". I don't know what they say in
English, these are the most common, popular, and best films like "the
Jungle Book","Beauty and the Beast","Lion King","Bambi" (no series).
Has anyone of you a list of them, because I can't remember 31, I can't
remember even more then 10.
Another question : Are good Disney films ("Meisterwerke") shown on TV in
America ?
btw : Has anyone good Disney ASCII-Art and can netmail me it ?

On the map, it looks like exit 26 for Naugetuck.
Sounds like it's in Naugetuck, otherwise it might be better to take exit

I will if I can find the time to get there.  It looks like about a 2hr

user: You are replying to All about "The Haunted Mansion".

Write your reply.

assistant: I've been rather fascinated by The Haunted Mansion since first riding
 it back in 1976 and have discovered some neat secrets about it from a
 FAQ I downloaded recently.
 For example, The busts that follow you in the library are inverted
 figures.
 The stretching room at WDW is different from the one at DL. The one in
 Disneyland takes you down to a basement where you then go down a
 hallway with paintings and windows to get to the main ride. The one at
 WDW is different because the walls go up but there is no basement. You
 are literally there but don't know it when the lights go out. The
 paintings come after you get on the ride. The paintings are on BOTH
 sides leading to the library.
 The dialouge at WDW is the abridged version as opposed to the one at
 DL which is the complete version.
 When I first came there was no haunted piano after the library. They
 must been renovating it while I was there. And there was a clock in the
 library but it was later moved and comes after the chamber of doors
 which I love.
 Lesile Nielsen who was an actor at Disney is NOT one of the singing
 busts in the cemetery.
 They recently removed the concession stand before you enter the
 mansion. I was able to get a 45 single of The Haunted Mansion story
 which came with a booklet. I still have it somewhere. It had scary
 plastic masks and creepy trinkets.

wonderful movie.
