Disney Trivia

Wrong on both. Think, here. What could this be referring to? It's obviously a word that someone doesn't know what it means. How many words fit the description "for***ing"?
Big hint: The attraction has been replaced.
If nobody gets it, does that mean I make another question myself? Because I thought of two more that I will ask later....

Is it Mr. Toad's Wild Ride?

It sounds like something Ellen would say while Bill Nye is trying to explain energy.

Now that you mentioned it, I can almost hear Ellen saying this.

I guess not though

I thought I was going to go crazy on this... I could hear the voice in my head but I couldn't place it.

It's the Magic of Disney Animation. Robin Williams' character says it in response to Walter Cronkite's 'foreboding'.

Sanity saved for another day. Phew.

SCENE: Robin, as an animated lost boy, is on the deck of a drawn ship. The ship has no colors and is just a line drawing.
Walter: The animator can paint it bright colors to give a happy, uplifting mood...
*The ship is painted bright colors*
Robin: OOOOOHHHHH, a pirate's life is a wonderful life, a rollin' over the C!
*Robin keeps singing and dancing. Then, the ship is painted much darker, Robin slows down and starts looking scared*
Walter: Or it can be painted darker to give the audience a feeling of foreboding.
Robin: F-forwhating?

Now, every time someone in my family hears the word "foreboding", they respond "forwhating?" I've tried to find a video clip, but no such luck.
As to that, the second quote in my sig comes from the same video. Robin just got drawn on paper, and he and the animator have a bit of fun:
"Hey Walter, look at this! *poof, turns into Happy* I'm Happy! *poof, turns into Dopey* I'm Dopey! *poof, turns into Mickey Mouse* Hi everybody! I'm a corporate symbol!"
Very good DisBeamer! I believe it's your turn!

Is this at MGM or California Adventure?
I've never seen this video

.

haha... this is the "WDW Resort" Thread

Is this in the postshow area or a previous incarnation of the show? I don't remember it being in the main show (the Mushu version).

It was at MGM... it was really cool too. *grumble grumble* It used to be when you could do the walking tour unescorted, and you kinda made your way from screen to screen with this story going on. Meanwhile you could look in at (gasp) actual animators working. There really wasn't a pre/post show at that point, if memory serves. It's been many moons since you could do that, of course. =( Edit: There's a tiny part of it here on YouTube.

Also ... um ... a question ... I'll have to think one up. If someone else wants to go in the meantime though, feel free!

Ohhh ok that explains it... we never did the Animation Tour. We only did the Backstage Pass Tour. For some reason my parents never knew about the Animation one. We've only done it after they closed the animation studio.

Oooh! I have one that I've been wanting to ask:

What was the name of the first Audio-Animatronics figure who could actually pick up objects? Let's do the name of the figure and the attraction.

The only thing that comes to mind is the Yeti on Expedition Everest. However, I am pretty sure there was something earlier.

Wasn't it the Robot from the Bird and Robot show at the World of Motion at EPCOT Center? In the Transcenter after the main part of the ride. The thing my dad never wanted to watch...instead we admired the Lean Machine.

I'm pretty sure this is wrong, but my guess is the father in CoP

Close, Admiral. We're still looking for the name of the robot.

Tiger? I could be wrong. It has been a long time.
