Magic of Disney Animation

**The Magic of Disney Animation** is a defunct walk-through attraction from Disney's Hollywood Studios. The attraction contained story references to the Jungle Cruise and Jungle Cruise mythos.

## History

### Backstory

The Magic of Disney Animation was themed around a magical Disney studio located in Hollywood. Cartoon characters such as Mickey and Minnie Mouse were depicted as operating from the building.

## Jungle Cruise connections

### Jungle Cruise

In the Minnie Mouse meet 'n' greet area themed towards Minnie's Hollywood dressing-room, there was a poster for a fictional Jungle Cruise film. This poster depicted Mickey and Minnie Mouse on a Jungle Cruise boat, being attacked by the hippos and piranhas from the ride. Also on the poster was Trader Sam, holding out shrunken heads nearby a crate labelled, "Dr. Albert Falls" and a poster tag-line reading, "Discover our two-for-one deal!", alluding to Sam's deals from the attraction.

The credits for the poster credited producer H. Goff (a tribute to imagineer Harper Goff), set-designer M. Davis (a tribute to animator Marc Davis), and director B. Evans (a tribute to botanist Bill Evans). This poster also mentioned the colonial Jungle Navigation Company as assisting with shooting the film in Burma and Zanzibar (real locations referenced in the attraction) and company skippers Brendan and Lasseter as working on the film (the latter of which is a tribute to disgraced former Disney employee, John Lasseter who worked as a skipper). The Jungle Cruise boats *Amazon Belle*, *Ganges Gal* and *Congo Queen* are also listed as being used in the film's production.

### Other connections

#### The African Queen

The Jungle Cruise film-poster was based on that of The African Queen (1951), a film which inspired the Jungle Cruise. Mickey appears dressed as Charlie Allnut while Minnie is dressed as Rose Sayer.

#### Tower of Terror

The poster for the film, "The Bride of Frankenollie" is screen-written by one Harrison Hightower IV, a reference to the evil S.E.A. member Harrison Hightower III from Tower of Terror.

#### Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room

Another poster in Minnie's dressing-room is, "Mouse Pacific" and shows Minnie Mouse outside of the Enchanted Tiki Room with the Orange Bird flying overhead. The credits identity Michael Burley, Jose Boag, Fritz Ravenscroft, and Pierre Newton as working on the film, referencing Michael, José, Fritz and Pierre from the attraction.

## Trivia

* Many of Minnie's posters would be moved to Disney's Hollywood Hotel in Hong Kong Disneyland. The Jungle Cruise poster did not appear amongst them, possibly due to the inclusion of the racist character, Trader Sam.
* The Jungle Cruise film was mentioned as debuting in the fictional Theatre of the Stars, a reference to the Disney's Hollywood Studios attraction *Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage*.

One item in the cabinet is a bottle labelled, "*Practically Perfect Peculiar Way Remedy*" described as a, "Spoonful of Sweetness" which would help the medicine go down. The bottle's naming is a reference to how Mary Poppins describes herself as being, "Practically perfect in every way". Within the film, the bottled medicine was a connection to the Polio vaccine. The medicine also appears in the cabinet at the lookout of Disneyland's boathouse. Special-effects artist Bob Mattey who worked on Mary Poppins also worked on the Jungle Cruise.

Juan the Barker Bird

"*Hurry Hurry Hurry to the Tiki Room, Tikis make drums go boom, Magic is happening, All the birds and flowers sing, come and see this thing - The Enchanted Tiki Room*"
—Juan

## Juan the Barker Bird

### Attractions

Adventure Trading Company (referenced)
Tropical Hideaway (referenced)
Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room
Walt Disney Story
Walt Disney Family Museum

## Physical description

### Gender

Male

**Juan the Barker Bird** is a character from *Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room.*

## History

### Background

Juan was a parrot who along with his cousin José got speaking abilities and human intelligence from the Enchanted Tiki Room in Polynesia. While José would be one of the Tiki Room's four masters of ceremony, Juan would perch outside the Tiki Room to act as a barker for audiences.

### Development history

Juan was added outside of Disneyland's Enchanted Tiki Room in 1963 as audio-animatronic shows were fairly new so adding a character outside gave a better idea of the Tiki Room's content. There were two different models of Juan used, one which was red and the other blue while both were voiced by Wally Boag who also voiced José.

Juan was removed largely due to his popularity, causing crowds and blockades to form around him near the gates to Adventureland. In 2000, rot around his perch would cause it to collapse.

## Jungle Cruise appearances

### Adventure Trading Company

In the Daily Gnus was an advertisement saying, "*Hurry Hurry Hurry to the Tiki Room, Tikis make drums go boom, Magic is happening, All the birds and flowers sing, come and see this thing - The Enchanted Tiki Room*" which was Juan's dialogue.

### Tropical Hideaway

Rosita is in possession of a barker hat and cane, made to reference Juan.

### Other connections

#### Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room

Juan used to appear outside of Disneyland's Tiki Room.

## Other appearances

Johann David Wyss

**Johann David Wyss** ( 1743-1818) is a historic Swiss author who wrote the 1812 story *Der schweizerische Robinson* (German: The Swiss Family Robinson). This book inspired a 1960 film adaptation by Disney and Adventureland attraction the Swiss Family Treehouse.

## Jungle Cruise appearances

### Skipper Canteen

There is a copy of a rare edition 1880s translated to English by George Routledge in the library of the Skipper Canteen. Another reference comes via book in the library titled *Treehouse Construction* by Mills which tributes William Robinson's actor John Mills and the Swiss Family Treehouse.

### Other connections

#### Adventureland Treehouse

There is a hardcover of the Swiss Family Robinson in mother's music parlour.

#### Adventure Trading Company

The Treehouse Jujus in this game were modelled after the Swiss Family Treehouse.  *The Daily Gnus* spoke on these jujus in an interview by Tallahassee Glover who interviewed José and Shrunken Ned on their subject.

#### Jungle Cruise

The treehouse had a view of the Cambodian ruins scene of the attraction. Original posters for the Swiss Family Treehouse showed Jungle Cruise boats passing underneath of the treehouse. In the boathouse of Walt Disney World's Jungle Cruise is a crate addressed to one Kenneth Annakin, the director of imports at the *Swiss Supply Company* in the colony of New Guinea. This references Kenneth Anakin who directed the 1960 Swiss Family Robinson and the Swiss Family Robinson's New Guinea/East Indies setting. On his application form visible in the Amazon River Base, Felix Pechman XIII mentions having lived in the Swiss Family Treehouse around 1937/1938.

#### Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar

Trader Sam is identified as having been friends with the titular Swiss Family Robinson. It is likely that they are referenced via a bottled message in the Enchanted Tiki Bar which reads, "Sam, A recent occurance inspired an idea for a new concoction you could serve at you(r) bar. We call it 'Rowboat on the rocks.' A smashing idea, don't you think?".

## Other appearances

### Liberty Belle Riverboat

A copy of the Swiss Family Robinson is in a cabin on this boat belonging to Captain Horace Bixby.

## Trivia

* Both the Robinson family and Wyss' work canonically exist in the Jungle Cruise mythos. This might suggest that the fictionalized version of Wyss based his book on the in-universe Robinson family. The timeline would support this as the historic book was published in 1812 while Clan Robinson was marooned in 1805.
* Historically, Jules Verne loved the Swiss Family Robinson and wrote an unofficial sequel titled, "*The Castaways of the Flag"*.

Haunted Halloween

**Haunted Halloween** is an annual event at Hong Kong Disneyland held in October.

## Jungle Cruise attractions

### Horrors of the Amazon

This show revolved around Jonas Brisbane, an amoral former-skipper for the Jungle Navigation Company who attempts to gain membership into the Society of Explorers and Adventurers by showing off creatures he imprisoned in the Amazon and the grave of a witch-doctor which he desecrated. The angered witch-doctor comes to life to punish Brisbane for his crimes resulting in Brisbane attempting to drink blood from the witch-doctor's corpse for mystical protection. Jonas is unsuccessful and is spirited away by the witch-doctor for his crimes.

### Jungle River Cruise: Curse of the Emerald Trinity

This was an overlay of Jungle River Cruise revolving around the mystical Emerald Trinity, three jewels which can bestow immortality on whomever takes them from the jungle. The jewels are sought after by Professor Garrett Reed of the Society of Explorers and Adventurers who wishes to steal them to gain eternal life, only for the jungle to kill him as punishment for his theft. The guests and their skipper are likewise attacked by the jungle due to the skipper having also stolen one of the jewels. Ultimately the party survives but loses the jewels in the Canyon of the Gods.

### Other connections

#### Revenge of the Headless Horseman

This attraction revolved around a member of the Adventurers Club having desecrated the remains of the infamous Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow to show off his head in a side-show attraction. This summons the angered Headless Horseman who goes about seeking revenge on the Adventurers Club.
Pro-life

**Pro-life** is the position that abortion (and sometimes also euthanasia) is murder and that it should be banned. While being pro-life is commendable, many pro-lifers (especially in the United States) unfortunately support other policies that aren't pro-life at all, eg. death penalty or unjust war. For this reason, Christian democrats are not just pro-life, but pro-life for the whole life.

There are varying degrees of pro-life belief, depending on how many exceptions to an abortion ban one supports. Christian democrats are typically strongly pro-life and only support exceptions in case of pregnancy being a threat to mother's life.
Roman Catholic Church

The **Roman Catholic Church** is the largest current church within Christianity. Its Catholic social teaching has inspired the creation of Christian democracy. Unsurprisingly, Christian democrats often tend to be Catholics.

## Relation to Christian democracy

While the Catholic Church has historically supported monarchy, the church has majorly changed its political positions in the last decade, and the church's recent doctrines, particularly the Catholic social teaching have served as the basis for Christian democracy. The current pope, Pope Francis, can easily be seen as a Christian democrat.
Indiana Jones Adventure Outpost

*This article is on the defunct gift-shop. For the fictional location, see The Outpost.*

**The Indiana Jones Adventure Outpost** is a defunct shop from Disneyland's Adventureland which is also present in the Echo Lake area of *Disney's Hollywood Studios* and Adventureland of Disneyland Paris. The shop is themed towards the *Indiana Jones* film franchise.

## History

### Backstory

#### Adventureland

The Indiana Jones Adventure Outpost is set in, "The Outpost", a shop in an unidentified tropical region making up the Wilds of Adventureland. This base was used as an outpost by world-famous archaeologist Indiana Jones in the 1930s, presumably for missions such as the *Lost Delta Archaeological Expedition* and/or excavating the Temple of Peril.

Around 1936 in the midst of the Lost Delta Archaeological Expedition, the outpost hosted the colonial Adventure Trading Company when it arrived in Adventureland following stops in the Lost River Delta of Peru, Mystic Point in Papua New Guinea and Harambe in East-Africa. Here, the Trading Company recruited new members, traded juju pendants, and became involved in Adventureland affairs.

#### Disney's Hollywood Studios

In Disney's Hollywood Studios, the shop is located in Echo Lake, Hollywood in Los Angeles nearby a set where Indiana Jones films are being shot. The shop has more Egyptian influenced architecture and might represent a set used for filming the Indiana Jones films.

### Development history

The outpost opened in 1995 to tie in with Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Forbidden Eye, replacing the Safari Outpost which had opened in 1986. In Disneyland Paris, the shop replaced *Trader Sam's Jungle Boutique*, named for the character of Trader Sam from the Jungle Cruise and was used to tie-into *Indiana Jones et le Temple du Péril*. In 2014, the shop was used as the base for the *Adventure Trading Company*, an interactive game used to play-test for the upcoming *Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge*. The shop would close in Disneyland in 2017 to make way for an expansion of the Adventureland Bazaar and Bengal Barbecue.

Malaria

A removed warning against Malaria from the Magic Kingdom's Jungle Cruise

**Malaria** is a real-world disease which spreads via mosquito.

## Description

Malaria is an infectious disease caused by *Plasmodium* bacteria which target the livers of animals like humans. Malaria causes fever, vomiting, and a yellow discolouration of the skin. It can also result in seizures, comas and often times the death of those infected. Malaria is spread by the saliva of female mosquitos into the blood of mammals like humans. While traditionally native to parts of Asia and Europe, the disease was spread to the Americas by colonists causing mass death. Typical treatment comes from the substance quinine.

## Jungle Cruise appearances

#### Jungle Cruise

In Disneyland's Jungle Cruise, Nigel Greenwater mentions Trader Sam and his establishment of *Tropical Imports* having received a new shipment of quinine, a medication used to treat malaria. In Walt Disney World's Jungle Cruise was a removed prop in the Amazon River Base which was a poster reading, "Malaria Kills" in a glass case along with photographs of elephants and a request for the remains of the Missing Search Party. Another crate in the Amazon River Base is labelled as containing mosquitos (stegomyia fasciata) to be sent to the *Office of Prevention and Treatment of Malaria*.

Skipper humour sometimes regard illness of Malaria. A recorded skipper joke for returning to the boathouse involves the skipper advertising, "Don't forget to enter our *Jungle Cruise* drawing! The winner will receive a free case of malaria!".

##### Jingle Cruise

A joke sometimes said by the skippers upon returning to the boathouse is, "This New Year's Eve: fireworks! Dancing! Festivities! Good times had by all! ...will not be found here. Just malaria and elephants. Lots of elephants".

### Printed materials

#### Skipper Survival Guide

In this retconned backstory, the boathouse in the Lost Delta originally belonged to one Colonel Blumbert before he contracted Malaria in 1928, forcing him to leave the jungle and sell the boathouse to the Jungle Navigation Company.

## Trivia

* The mosquito-transmitted disease of yellow fever is also alluded to in the Jungle Cruise of Walt Disney World via late-employee E.L. O'Fevre.

Missing Search Party

*This article has been marked by* The Jungle Cruise Wiki *as containing offensive or otherwise sensitive subject matter. Reader discretion is advised.*

## Group information

### Headquarters

Umbala Territory, North Africa (resting-place)

**The Missing Search Party** is the official name for a group of deceased characters from the *Jungle Cruise*.

## Description

This search party was composed of six-people who embarked on a boat piloted by a skipper of the *Jungle Navigation Company*. Under unknown circumstances, the party was killed by the North African Umbala tribe who claimed their skulls.

## History

### Background

This was a search-party that embarked on a missing-persons search likely around 1936-1938. The search party embarked on an unknown JNC boat with a skipper of the company. They were killed by the Umbala tribe and had their skulls claimed for usage in their village. The skipper however would escape and continue operations while the JNC (or connected *Adventureland* parties) offered a reward for information on the party's remains.

### Development history

The missing search party was part of the racist, "Headhunter" scene of the Jungle Cruise which vilified Indigenous Africana peoples as, "Headhunters" (a Polynesian practice, exaggerated by colonists). They were removed from the Jungle Cruise in 2021.

## Appearances

### Jungle Cruise

The skulls appear on a canoe in Umbala territory. In the Amazon River Base was a poster offering a reward for the skulls of the missing party.

#### Jingle Cruise

In this overlay, the skulls are decorated with Christmas lights.

## Trivia

* It is possible that the identifies of the missing search party are identified on the Missing Persons board that mentions nine individuals. The only unlikely member listed on the board would be, "Al Belaite" due to the implication being that said missing person is in fine condition, just late to arrive.
	+ If true, this also might implicate them as being connected to Adventureland's elusive *Governor General*.
* It is unknown who the search party was pursuing. Possibilities include Dr. Albert Falls, the Lost Safari of the African veldt, or any of the Missing Persons listed in the queue.
* The skulls of the missing search party are similar to skulls which once adorned the gateway to Adventureland.

Nah-mee's umbrella

*This article has been marked by* The Jungle Cruise Wiki *as containing offensive or otherwise sensitive subject matter. Reader discretion is advised.*

### Type

Umbrella

**Nah-mee's umbrella** is an item from the *Jungle Cruise*.

## Description

This item was a black umbrella with a faded handle and tattered canopy.

## History

### Development history

Nah-mee's tribal garb mixed with his top-hat and umbrella was a gag designed by Marc Davis, seemingly lifted from the film *Peter Pan* (1953). In this film, a racist stereotyped depiction of an Indigenous American took the top hat and umbrella from the British boy John Darling. The umbrella also resembles one used by Rose Sayer in *The African Queen* (1951), a film which inspired the Jungle Cruise.

The ideology behind this gag had racist connotations, with the implication being that Nah-mee is, "Uncivilized" and, "Savage" while wearing, "Civilized" garb, feeding into racist myths of Jivaroan peoples.

## Appearances

### Jock Lindsey's Hangar Bar

In the lost & found of this bar is a shrunken head next to a stack of umbrellas, seemingly referencing Nah-mee. This might be referencing Nah-mee as a past customer of Jock Lindsey's bar in *Disney Springs*, Florida.

### Jungle Cruise

Nah-mee wielded this umbrella prior to his removal. Concept-art shows it in *Trader Sam's Gift Shop!* for Walt Disney World's Jungle Cruise. Albert Awol makes the comment of, " Since these animals have been known to spray water at passing boats, you are advised to wear appropriate attire. Or bring an umbrella" on the topic of the elephant bathing pool.

#### Jingle Cruise

Nah-mee held this while appearing as Sam-ta Claus.

#### Jungle Cruise: Wildlife Expeditions

Nah-mee still appears in this incarnation of the attraction where he is accompanied by Ellie the elephant and sells fruits and pendents.
