Ramble: Disney's 100th FLOPiversary: Jenny's Take On Why It Underwhelmed & How She'd Fix It

I think they need to bring back calling the company anniversaries birthdays. These days they insist against it because the theme parks weren't "born." But birthday is a cuter word...

Ramble: Disney's 100th FLOPiversary: Jenny's Take On Why It Underwhelmed & How She'd Fix It

Neeeed to get my ass to the bug ball

Super late but, the duck and the cat are from Peter and the Wolf, who's standing with them and holding Sasha the songbird. The cat and duck are Ivan and Sonia, i think. I loved that duck when I was little

Brad

brother bear mentioned!! it actually came out in 2003 I believe and not 2004 I know this because I'm part of that cult following for brother bear :)

Rowan

Jenny you did not just refer to my waifu Jason Bateman as “that guy”… smh

Ginger Jones

I bought the vintage replica Mickey visor too hahaha

Caroly

Oh wow, the Mickey Mouse Viewmaster! My older sister and I had one of those when we were really little kids, this would have been the very late 1990s/very early 2000s. I know we had several different cards for it but for some reason the one I have the clearest memory of is Lady and the Tramp. I don't know if the cards would be usable anymore, but I should look if we still have that somewhere...

I know you have probably since figured it out, but I’m new here and I figured I would throw it out there just in case. The duck and the yellow eyed cat standing with the little boy are from the 1946 Peter and the Wolf short. It’s super delightful and one of my favorite old Disney media. It teaches kids about the Peter and the Wolf symphony and tells you which instruments represent each character, and then animates the story as the music plays.

i'm sure somebody has said this already but my guess is that the inbetween isn't a reference to where the cafeteria is but to the animation process of inbetweening. also thank you for explaining wish to me bc i do not want to see it but i do kind of want to know everything about it

the alice comedies are referenced in over the garden wall ep8, which was made by an alum of calarts the school disney founded, and its so cute ppl should reference it more !!

I finally watched Wish today, and then immediately ordered that Star from the Disney store🤣

I think that Disney suggesting that Universal is merely catching up to them is less a matter of "we are comfortable resting on our laurels" and more that management under Chapek did such a poor job developing attractions and experiences that nothing is far enough along in develop to even tease so it's more comfortable to pretend that it's just part of the plan and everything working as intended.

If they brought out "Song of the South" from the vault, that'd definitely be a surprise.

"...oh and then they could have one where you step on Ray" 💀

Great job on the needlefelting!

When you mentioned in this video that you worked at the Petting Zoo in Disneyland it made me realize that I likely met you when you worked there. I have a memory from a trip I did there about 10 - 12 years ago. I was with my niece who was about 5 at the time. Her and I would always visit the goats. It was holiday time so when we go so see the goats, there were reindeer instead. Niece was sad, she loved the goats. I asked (who I am pretty sure was you) where the goats go when the reindeer take their pen. I got a reply of "Oh Santa takes them to the North Pole to live with him there" I smiled and said "That's cute. But for real though, what do they do with the goats?" and the reply was the same thing about Santa's but in a tone that said "My job won't let me tell you anything other than this Santa story so please just accept it". It's a core Disney memory for me.

The magic band statue thing seems like a worse version of the wand magic they had at Universal's wizarding world when it opened. Not sure if it's still there bc I don't give $ to HP anymore, but if you bought a certain type of wand, there were stations around the park where you could "do magic," like make a fountain shoot up really high or make animatronics in a store window dance.

Is Jenny's cursor always mint green, or is that just a feature of the screen-recoding software?

Weir99

i think she means the 60th anniversary of the park vs the company

Evan Bobrow

It's because it prevents you from adding it to playlists! fwiw you can do PIP on Firefox without YT premium

nathan

Hello! Would you consider not marking your second channel videos as "for kids" or "kids content"? For some reason that setting screws with YouTube's premium features (I.e., disables picture-in-picture and doesn't allow you to view the video with the window minimized).

Mirror Joel

How was Jenny alive for the 60th anniversary if the 100th just happened?

Professor McNastys Left Toe

idk if someone said this but the duck and cat are from peter and the wolf! p fun lil animation i liked it as a kid

Jenny mentions around 21:00 that google sucks now, and recently the internet told me that adding "Before:2022" will improve your search results because that was the point at which a certain AI became available to the public. I have zero clue if this is true, but I do find it improves my google results.

fiskehund

How much would we each have to pitch in to make The Ugly Bug Ball a reality? Because that sounds like a great party.

Iris

I saw the gas station fishes at Toon Town in Tokyo Disneyland. Maybe u could still find them there?

Deciding to add the villains to that photograph is ahh...that was definitely a choice...I love how the entire point of Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame is that Quasimodo isn't the monster and deserves to be accepted by the community he's been hidden from his whole life, but in this photo, they've just put him up in the sign. The only human character up there. Still isolated from other human beings. MEANWHILE Frollo, a man who traps a family inside of their home and sets it on fire amongst other crimes against humanity, still gets to be a part of the big crowd of people. And he is VERY close to the woman he physically assaults, has extremely messed up thoughts about, and nearly sets on fire.

Re: Wish, it is unfathomable hearing that the main character is an artist, who makes magical wishes and lives in a controlled and kind of suppressive regime, and her wishes AREN'T to make her creations come to life and bring excitement and wonder to a world that needs it. How many people were asleep at the wheel to let that one slip them by?

Ira Shantz-Kreutzkamp

i work at a research lab and the director retiring and they made an eras tour tee shirt parody collage of her face through the years for her retirement. i didnt realize until your video that it was a thing lol

Ray West

So glad to hear Witch Mountain get a “cult classic” nod for the ‘73-‘83 decade, that was my seminal Disney movie in a million different ways. If they made a film-accurate replica of Tia’s Star Box as merch it would bring me to tears lol

Lazlo Nibble

Why do so many people dislike Ray the firefly from Princess and the Frog? He's not my favorite animal sidekick, but I thought he was funny, I thought his little arc about being in love with the North Star was cute and I was sad when he died.
