WEBVTT 00:17.760 --> 00:25.439 Welcome to Geeks Corner. I'm Mr. Daps. And I'm Katie. Over there. You are. Yes, you are. And did you know that Disneyland Handcrafted 00:25.439 --> 00:30.560 was put on hold after development phase? And because of this, it almost wasn't 00:30.560 --> 00:38.160 made. You actually do know this, but I did know that. Um, yes, cuz you were at the event that I was at, and that made for a fun night. 00:38.160 --> 00:43.760 But we're going to talk about that in just a few minutes. Before we get into all of that, what should people do, Katie? 00:43.760 --> 00:50.000 You should go to places, I think. Oh my gosh, there's a frog in my throat. Uh, 00:50.000 --> 00:55.120 you should go to YouTube. We didn't do this last week. So now, 00:55.120 --> 01:00.399 anywhere you're watching. Yeah. Any You should subscribe. That's what you should do right here, right 01:00.399 --> 01:05.840 now. Why not? Uh, you should also go to Dabsmagic HQ at patreon.com/dapsmagic 01:05.840 --> 01:12.159 or dabsmagic.comdapsmagic hq. Is that what I heard? 01:12.159 --> 01:18.159 Dapshqdabshq. I should make like a little sorry lower third thing. 01:18.159 --> 01:23.200 Yeah, you sure should. And then also go into the comments and uh share what you're watching 01:23.200 --> 01:29.759 or share where you're watching. What? No. Weird. Give us uh Sorry, I'm rusty, 01:29.759 --> 01:36.560 guys. Whatever. uh share something in the comments. We do a section towards the end called 01:36.560 --> 01:43.439 comments comments. There you go. And it has been a very big week in Disney news, Disney and positive 01:43.439 --> 01:51.360 stuff news, but we're not going to get into everything because we could just keep going forever. Andy does want to make his own uh opinions known about 01:51.360 --> 01:56.880 them apparently. So, we'll see how that goes. But first off, 01:56.880 --> 02:03.439 perhaps most exciting Uhhuh. Not most exciting, but it's up there. Star Wars Galaxy's Edge. 02:03.439 --> 02:11.520 Oh boy. They're expanding the timeline. They're adding new characters. They're they're changing up shops and props and maybe 02:11.520 --> 02:17.599 even Oga's Cantina. Um, yes, they're bringing the original trilogy characters 02:17.599 --> 02:24.239 and storyline into Star Wars Galaxy's Edge, which means you will now when you go to Star Wars Galaxy's Edge, you could 02:24.239 --> 02:30.959 find characters anywhere from the original series. Well, I should do this numerically, huh? Anywhere from six 02:30.959 --> 02:37.040 through nine of the Skywalker Saga along with characters of the Mandoververse. 02:37.040 --> 02:42.400 And that's going to be interesting. Also, they're going to be in regions of 02:42.400 --> 02:47.519 Star Wars Galaxy's Edge. So, I made this cool little handy dandy graphic thing, 02:47.519 --> 02:52.800 and as you can see, it goes from east to west chronologically. So, the oldest 02:52.800 --> 02:59.760 stuff is on the east side of Galaxy's Edge, which is where the Galactic Civil War or the original trilogy would be 02:59.760 --> 03:08.560 found. So, that's where you're going to find your Han Solos, your your Princess Leia, your Chewbacca, your um Darth 03:08.560 --> 03:15.280 Vader down in what's currently the the First Order camp or Stormtroopers even uh which tried to 03:15.280 --> 03:21.760 arrest me on Sunday, but these were First Order. I was like, well, different stormtroopers. Stormtrooper. 03:21.760 --> 03:28.319 Stormtrooper. Yes. Um then in the middle area, which is the marketplace, which is basically 03:28.319 --> 03:35.680 where you find them today, you're going to find the characters of the New Republic. So you're going to find your your Mando and Grou, your Ahsoka Tano, 03:35.680 --> 03:41.840 your Boba Fett, which is funny because if you change his outfit a little bit, he could also be in the Galactic Civil 03:41.840 --> 03:47.760 War area, but he's not. No. Then you keep heading west. I don't know 03:47.760 --> 03:54.319 if it's actually west on Batu, but for Disneyland, it's it's west, I think. Um, and then you get to the Age of the 03:54.319 --> 03:59.439 Resistance, which is where you would find Ry 03:59.439 --> 04:04.959 and Ray. Um, that's the only one that's been announced, but throughout the 04:04.959 --> 04:10.879 basically anywhere you might find Chewbacca cuz in my head, he fits in all of these. 04:10.879 --> 04:17.600 Uh, R2-D2. Yeah, all of these. So, you know, they they will be wandering around as well. 04:17.600 --> 04:24.639 So, to answer Chris Glass's question, assuming we get the prequels one day, where would you squeeze in Jar? The answer is also everywhere. 04:24.639 --> 04:32.320 And we don't know where Jar Jar's story end, do we? That's why I'm saying Jar goes everywhere. For all we know, Jar Jar just keeps on 04:32.320 --> 04:39.280 going. So, Misa and the Mandalorian. Best best bet is Galactic Civil War. 04:39.280 --> 04:45.759 Maybe maybe he was a general for the the Rebellion. We don't know. Maybe he was one of those senators that just didn't 04:45.759 --> 04:51.840 do anything. And then when they're making the new uh the new republic, he just keeps being a senator and doesn't 04:51.840 --> 04:58.800 do anything. And then he turns out he's not there when the planet's blown up. So he actually makes it into the age of 04:58.800 --> 05:06.720 resistance as well. So maybe he's like Chewbacca. Maybe he's just an Ogas. I like the idea of him being like Chewbacca where he could go anywhere. Um 05:06.720 --> 05:12.160 that was what I was pitching. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So there there we go. And and I'm sure if Yie were on, she would 05:12.160 --> 05:18.400 love that, too. It's true. Um anyway, this is a fundamental change 05:18.400 --> 05:25.360 in how Star Wars Galaxy's Edge is operated kind of because Disneyland has 05:25.360 --> 05:31.840 already been incrementally changing and adding more eras with with the New Republic stuff um or the Mandoversee. 05:31.840 --> 05:36.960 What do you think of them completely unlocking though the original trilogy? 05:36.960 --> 05:45.199 It's about time. Honestly, I think and it's something that you and I have talked about since the land opened. Um, 05:45.199 --> 05:52.240 there's just so many people that just don't get it. It's like, oh, it's Okay, let's let's throw Sonic branding 05:52.240 --> 05:57.360 aside. Let's throw all of that. Mhm. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. And you need 05:57.360 --> 06:05.120 to know this, too. Star Wars Land, a a guest who's not done their research, 06:05.120 --> 06:11.360 whatever, they go, "Oh, boy." At Disneyland, they built a Star Wars Land. 06:11.360 --> 06:16.800 What would you expect to see at a Star Wars Land? Darth Vader. Darth Vader. Darth Vader. 06:16.800 --> 06:24.880 Darth Vader. Chewbacca. Maybe Han Solo. Like you're expecting classic Star Wars. 06:24.880 --> 06:30.560 And Princess Leia. Did you say that? I did not. Okay. Princess Leia. Uh, and like you expect to see the 06:30.560 --> 06:36.240 Millennium Falcon. You expect to see maybe a Death Star. You expect like these are things that you like expect to 06:36.240 --> 06:42.560 see. And then you're like, "Oh," and you know, they did those new movies. Maybe there's like uh one of one of them Ray 06:42.560 --> 06:49.440 Skywalkers walking around. Sure. And we saw actively the amount of people that 06:49.440 --> 06:55.600 were so like, "Wait, where's even on the opening day, where's Darth Vader?" Like there was obviously a lot of super 06:55.600 --> 07:01.520 fans there on the opening day that knew exactly what they were getting into, had watched every video that Disneyland had 07:01.520 --> 07:06.720 or Disney had released and knew this is the era we're getting into. But there 07:06.720 --> 07:12.720 were also many like, "Oh, I thought there'd be Darth Vader." Or, "Oh, I thought Obi-Wan Kenobi would be here." Which I think would be a wonderful 07:12.720 --> 07:18.319 addition if you're soliciting advice. Uh, Disney, can you imagine Obi-Wan Kenobi walking around the Millennium 07:18.319 --> 07:24.160 Falcon? What What are we thinking? Are we thinking like Kenobi era? Are we thinking old man Kenobi? What are are we 07:24.160 --> 07:30.000 thinking prequels era? There's not a ton of options by what's 07:30.000 --> 07:35.919 given to us. Those are three options. We have Galactic Civil War and everything beyond 07:35.919 --> 07:42.880 that. He's he's a ghost. So, it's old man Kenobi and you get an old man to play him and it would be amazing. 07:42.880 --> 07:49.440 Um, you just get old man Kenobi easy. Yes. But, uh, but as time has gone by, 07:49.440 --> 07:55.360 I've continued to like I like to go in and take pictures of the characters there. And one of the things I notice 07:55.360 --> 08:02.400 very frequently is with the the new characters, you see younger dads and 08:02.400 --> 08:08.879 their kids or younger parents I should say and their kids excited about 08:08.879 --> 08:16.240 Mando, Ahsoka, Kylo Ren. Um, everybody's excited about Chewbacca. Like I even on 08:16.240 --> 08:22.879 Sunday I was in the park and and I saw lots of young families and kids excited 08:22.879 --> 08:29.840 about the characters in Star Wars Galaxy's Edge. I saw everybody excited about R2-D2 cuz why wouldn't you be? 08:29.840 --> 08:35.518 It's it's everybody's excited about Chewbacca and that that went through all 08:35.519 --> 08:43.200 age groups. And then there was one one interaction out of dozens I watched with 08:43.200 --> 08:50.240 an older group that was probably all retired and there was four of them and 08:50.240 --> 08:55.920 clearly had no clue who Kylo Ren was but decided they were going to try to interact with them anyway. 08:55.920 --> 09:02.800 Oh, that's fun. It didn't go so well. Oh, yeah. Um cuz there it was just like two different languages happening and they're like 09:02.800 --> 09:08.160 using references from wrong periods and and Kylo Ren is saying look Kylo Ren 09:08.160 --> 09:16.560 does and it just was not connecting and it was very funny and they had fun with it but it it just it it didn't work. Um 09:16.560 --> 09:22.000 that was also the other piece that was and and listen 09:22.000 --> 09:28.000 was doing what Disney does best and they were I'm looking at my camera. Okay, let let me have this moment with my people. 09:28.000 --> 09:33.760 All right, have your camera. So Disney did what Disney does and they were like we're going to tell this 09:33.760 --> 09:39.600 intricate story that is deeply woven in this that the other but also there is 09:39.600 --> 09:48.320 definitely a problem of so we are time locked specifically between the eighth and the ninth film. Um Kylo has not 09:48.320 --> 09:55.200 broken his mask yet. Um General Orana is still around. I was like, throw it all 09:55.200 --> 10:01.040 out the window. I I just want like which is not Star Wars. Like you can tell Star Wars basic 10:01.040 --> 10:08.959 General Aana and then over there I can see Princess Leia and I will have the best time of my life. Okay. Like it was 10:08.959 --> 10:15.040 even as a a fan of Star Wars, if you could call me that. Um, even as a fan of 10:15.040 --> 10:20.240 Star Wars, it was sometimes confusing for me or just almost felt like putting 10:20.240 --> 10:26.640 it in a box where I was like, "Oh, that would have been so cool, but can't because the time lock." So, I loved it when it came out. 10:26.640 --> 10:32.160 Uhhuh. Because it fit with the time that we were at with new Star Wars movies. And I 10:32.160 --> 10:38.560 was like, "Okay, I get this. I think it's a good way to incorporate the new the new Star Wars movies." The trick 10:38.560 --> 10:44.160 being is I quickly realized and I like to watch guests is exactly what I was 10:44.160 --> 10:52.320 saying is it wasn't connecting with all of the ages and clearly Disney has recognized as well as well. But um I think it's a fantastic 10:52.320 --> 10:58.640 thing for them to do. Like it's it's a good way to I'm not going to say retcon this, but it's a good way to make it 10:58.640 --> 11:04.079 more accessible to all people in a way that you don't have to completely 11:04.079 --> 11:09.600 rebuild the land and make it Tatooine or Endor or something. Um which is already 11:09.600 --> 11:14.800 very familiar to people. I like it being a blank slate blank slate land. And if you've read some of 11:14.800 --> 11:20.959 the books, it's not basically every character has gone there. Like they've they've built in some 11:20.959 --> 11:26.320 backstories for, you know, Darth Vader and Anakin are there or Anakin's there at one point. I 11:26.320 --> 11:32.000 think Darth Vader's there. I mean, Anakin and Darth Vader. I actually think 11:32.000 --> 11:37.200 Padme was there because you know what Padme's favorite drink is? That's right. Aldderani and Teal wine. 11:37.200 --> 11:44.720 Yes. And so there's there's lots of connections that that build into the world and and fit with Batu. And it'll 11:44.720 --> 11:50.000 be fun to see how this is received at Disneyland. 11:50.000 --> 11:55.440 And then if anything is a pre or previous history is 11:55.440 --> 12:00.480 any indicator I should say is we will start seeing changes like this coming to 12:00.480 --> 12:06.399 Florida at some point too. Especially if it's as popular as I think it like I expect this to 12:06.399 --> 12:12.720 revitalize. Not that it needs revitalization cuz on Sunday I was there and the place was packed. Yeah. Like anytime there's 12:12.720 --> 12:18.720 characters out, people love it and there was people getting all the three different or different types of I guess 12:18.720 --> 12:24.079 I only saw two um of of the milks and everybody was lining up to get their 12:24.079 --> 12:31.120 last shot at Ogas before it closed today. and like there is a lot going on and um so it'll be interesting to see 12:31.120 --> 12:37.279 how it it's it's received but I predict it's going to be received very well and 12:37.279 --> 12:43.600 then I would tend to guess you're going to start seeing this in um in Florida as 12:43.600 --> 12:48.639 well at some point just because I I think there's going to be money to 12:48.639 --> 12:54.320 be made and honestly I'm surprised if I was to go on my like weird business analytical 12:54.320 --> 13:00.000 side uh it's surprising to me that Florida did not. Thank you. Surprising me that Florida didn't do this first. Uh 13:00.000 --> 13:05.120 because Florida uh really they don't do anything first in in Star Wars. It's always been us. 13:05.120 --> 13:13.120 Well, yes. I meant more in the their uh the guest base at Walt Disney World is 13:13.120 --> 13:19.440 more tourist based. Oh, yeah. I agree with that completely. I just think they've they've they don't like to change things as often cuz I was 13:19.440 --> 13:25.680 you can't make experiences experiments. No, I agree with you on that. I was just saying something. Yeah. Anyway, I would have thought that 13:25.680 --> 13:31.360 this would have happened in Florida first because it's like you have all these guests that are coming for this once in a-lifetime trip and it's like, 13:31.360 --> 13:38.720 oh, they're maybe going to be the people that this appeals to the most as where Disneyland is a lot of annual passholder 13:38.720 --> 13:44.959 base. But I think that's the exact reason they're not. Okay. Is because it's a once in a-lifetime thing. And so if you're going expecting 13:44.959 --> 13:51.680 one thing Yeah. and then they're testing something like on the off chance that this 13:51.680 --> 13:58.399 actually doesn't work for some reason, which would would shock me. Like that would that would 13:58.399 --> 14:05.680 blow me away. Um then the damage is like, oh, some regular guests that come 14:05.680 --> 14:11.040 multiple times a year or tourists that also come quite frequently. Well, they 14:11.040 --> 14:17.920 can go to it next time. And um and I think there's not as much risk 14:17.920 --> 14:22.959 here, which is why we got Mando first, which is why we got we're also closer to where a lot of the stuff is made, so 14:22.959 --> 14:28.959 that probably Anyway, I was just We're going to move along because we are going to get on to the main part of the 14:28.959 --> 14:35.600 show tonight, which is quite exciting. Disneyland Handcrafted comes to Disney 14:35.600 --> 14:42.000 Plus and YouTube in just two days. Hard to believe it. We saw it almost two weeks ago. 14:42.000 --> 14:47.920 And uh it is still stuck in my brain. But before we get into Yeah. And the music, too. 14:47.920 --> 14:53.760 We could we could do an entire episode. And we we'll do that once it's in the land. We'll talk about that. But uh we 14:53.760 --> 14:59.040 got to experience an incredible night at the Walt Disney Studios seeing the blue 14:59.040 --> 15:05.040 carpet premiere of Disneyland Handcrafted. And we're going to show you the trailer real quick. We're going to also comment on it of things that we 15:05.040 --> 15:11.600 noticed. And um sports casting but not sports. Yes. Maybe this is the first try with this. We will see. We don't have our 15:11.600 --> 15:17.279 jackets though. We need the jackets. But anyway, let's see how this goes and works cuz we're also testing uh 15:17.279 --> 15:22.800 technology. Yeah. Oh, it's working. I think. 15:22.800 --> 15:27.839 So, if you can't hear us, this is this is what you're seeing at 15:27.839 --> 15:32.880 not the first scene. It's not. No. I thought it was going to be and and 15:32.880 --> 15:39.360 there's other stuff before. We won't we won't spoil it too much, but um I will say the beginning surprised me. 15:39.360 --> 15:44.720 the beginning surprised me as well. This is a really crazy not to be like 15:44.720 --> 15:50.959 acting like I'm a director doing commentary but like this is the really crazy shot to me because like you look at that 15:50.959 --> 15:57.040 and if you know where that building is you're like wait but how is this how does Disneyland 15:57.040 --> 16:03.920 get here? And it's interesting that we just saw Walt and the guy from ABC because we really don't see talking 16:03.920 --> 16:10.320 heads at all during this and that was kind of an interesting thing as well. I also thought that the 16:10.320 --> 16:15.680 creation of the BM was absolutely like yeah I know that they pushed all that dirt making physical 16:15.680 --> 16:22.720 burn out but like watching describe this great part also I knew this is not a good idea 16:22.720 --> 16:28.480 if you're from OSHA just don't watch anything that's happening definitely get into that 16:28.480 --> 16:33.759 uh just like also the thing that I'm amazed by all 16:33.759 --> 16:38.959 the time let's visit Disneyland now I think we've now seen the entire ity 16:38.959 --> 16:46.160 that you see Walt on camera as a talking head in this Yeah, pretty much documentary was a 16:46.160 --> 16:51.920 great You don't see a lot of him as a talking head. Not as a talking head, but they show the clips from You see stuff like this. You don't see 16:51.920 --> 16:57.519 him. They show the clips from a few. Yes. 16:57.519 --> 17:03.759 Pressures were tremendous on everybody. We all live down there and we work. 17:03.759 --> 17:10.640 Don't look. Uh, most people in Hollywood thought Disneyland would be a Hollywood spectane to see these things that are 17:10.640 --> 17:15.678 still alive and well in Disney. Most people and I'm just going to give you a quick 17:15.679 --> 17:22.640 pitch is clock and I are working on a photo next episode that's going to be loosely related to this. 17:22.640 --> 17:27.918 And I will say the approach of how you see things at Disneyland will change 17:27.919 --> 17:34.160 once you have seen this documentary. Yeah. And um and and that goes from 17:34.160 --> 17:40.320 things in Fantasy Land to Main Street to Frontier Land to 17:40.320 --> 17:46.640 Tomorrow. Like all of the original lands, you now notice something very different 17:46.640 --> 17:54.320 or you approach it in a very different fashion than when you you did before you've seen this. Yeah. My favorite was uh uh Galaxy's 17:54.320 --> 18:00.320 Edge and then a close second was DCA. You know what? They don't even show us making or they don't even show them 18:00.320 --> 18:05.840 making the parking lot. I want to see making of the parking lot. 18:05.840 --> 18:11.600 I don't know. That's a really good question. We'll come back to that during comments. Um Oh, boy. 18:11.600 --> 18:18.240 But yeah, we don't see the parking lot being made. I don't think we do see uh No, you don't. We do see shots of the parking lot. 18:18.240 --> 18:24.559 Yeah. But you don't see the parking lot being made. And I will say the way this is 18:24.559 --> 18:29.600 structured is very fascinating cuz it's chronological from basically a year 18:29.600 --> 18:35.280 before leading up to opening day. And there there's a few things that they play with before and at the beginning at 18:35.280 --> 18:41.600 the end. But um but you literally do see blank slate as we just saw in this 18:41.600 --> 18:48.000 trailer up to hey this is your land Disneyland. Come on in. like they're 18:48.000 --> 18:53.440 they're showing it off. And um 18:53.440 --> 18:58.640 this was an interesting approach to how to do this because they don't use 18:58.640 --> 19:06.480 talking heads. Like they don't have the interviews that are from like they didn't go and say, 19:06.480 --> 19:11.520 "Hey Bob, you were there. Can you talk about 70 years ago?" Instead, they went 19:11.520 --> 19:18.960 and they found a bunch of old clips that were either used or not used back in the day and used those to narrate this 19:18.960 --> 19:25.679 documentary. And so, you would hear people talking over what was happening in front of you and telling the story, 19:25.679 --> 19:31.200 but you didn't see them like sitting, you know, the stereotypical, the camera slightly offc center and you're looking 19:31.200 --> 19:36.559 at the producer as you talk. What was the thing that they did the documentary for? was Disney where 19:36.559 --> 19:43.840 they're all on the 33 balcony and they're all slightly offcentered. Was it It's in uh Link. It's in Opera House 19:43.840 --> 19:49.919 right now. They're using clips on it. Yeah. But yeah, it's that they're the balcony. Rivers America's behind them. They're 19:49.919 --> 19:55.760 slightly off center. They're like, "Yeah." So I think that but they do it on everything, you know. I'm sure it's an Imagineering story. I'm 19:55.760 --> 20:02.480 I'm spacing it at the moment, but um but they didn't do that for this and and they don't like there's a couple moments 20:02.480 --> 20:08.320 where they actually show clips from television. great, but like those weren't really the stars of it. They 20:08.320 --> 20:16.480 were more of of moments and times that showed, hey, this is where we're at in this process. And what they did show is 20:16.480 --> 20:22.320 not only Disneyland being built, but also how they filmed this. So, you 20:22.320 --> 20:29.120 actually see the tower where some of the hyperlapse cameras were at that they had 20:29.120 --> 20:34.799 to go through and update every once in a while. And and it was weird going back to Disneyland right after seeing this 20:34.799 --> 20:41.600 because I was standing in the hub and I'm like, "Yeah, about here is where that tower was." And and then you think 20:41.600 --> 20:47.120 like, "This is before there's a Partners statue. This is before there's a Matterhorn. This is before so many 20:47.120 --> 20:53.919 things that we're familiar with in Disneyland." And so before like all of Tomorrowland 20:53.919 --> 21:01.679 today's Yeah. I mean, like the rocket's back, but um um yeah, the rocket's back there, but um 21:01.679 --> 21:08.880 but it's very weird to look at all of these familiar but weird things because it's not it's not quite right. Like 21:08.880 --> 21:15.039 things have grown, things have developed, and and that's a very fun thing to see happen over the course of 21:15.039 --> 21:22.240 seven decades. And then um I think another big part of this documentary is 21:22.240 --> 21:28.799 I think most people know the financial risk of Disneyland and most people have a 21:28.799 --> 21:35.600 recognition of like oh it was built really fast. Yes. I don't think there's a a 21:35.600 --> 21:41.200 in the front of your mind recognition of how close this thing was to disaster. 21:41.200 --> 21:47.760 There's not even when you've heard the story a million times of oh the high heels were sinking and like you're like which which 21:47.760 --> 21:53.200 yeah that's don yeah but you know you hear those stories 21:53.200 --> 22:00.400 all the time and you're like oh haha but like water versus you know bathrooms that's a 22:00.400 --> 22:06.480 that's a better version these are the stories you've heard a million times 22:06.480 --> 22:11.840 um but what I took away and I I think I referenced this in the article I wrote 22:11.840 --> 22:19.760 is really the infrastructure of uh Disneyland was built in like 6 months. 22:19.760 --> 22:25.840 Everything aesthetic was built in like three. It was so fast. And that's like cuz they were like 22:25.840 --> 22:33.280 there's it goes into the breakdown of how far we are how far we are out from opening. And every time me knowing how 22:33.280 --> 22:38.400 the story ends, I'd go, "Oh, they're not gonna make it. Oh, they're not there. That's there's no 22:38.400 --> 22:44.799 way." Because like what you see in front of you in Disneyland Handcrafted, it 22:44.799 --> 22:49.919 makes no logical sense other than it was a bunch of people that were working 22:49.919 --> 22:55.120 basically around the clock to make this thing happen. Well, and it shows the power of a strong 22:55.120 --> 23:00.159 vision with a passionate leader with with lieutenants around them that 23:00.159 --> 23:06.960 may not understand or believe in the vision, but they believe in the man or the person. So, they're pushing forward and 23:06.960 --> 23:12.559 then that just trickles out and and honestly, what is it? Is it the which World of Color? Is it the current? No, 23:12.559 --> 23:18.720 it was the one before it uh World of Color one where it's about the trickle effect or the ripple effect. And it 23:18.720 --> 23:25.600 really is that kind of a thing of Walt's influence just out and about and reaching the front 23:25.600 --> 23:32.240 line, whether it's it's, you know, somebody doing electric or somebody painting or whatever, 23:32.240 --> 23:40.080 making bricks, you see so many different elements of this. And um and then and then you just 23:40.080 --> 23:45.679 realize that if they don't meet the deadline of opening in July, the funding 23:45.679 --> 23:51.840 dries up and then the park doesn't happen. And technically, I mean, it sounds like it would go into 23:51.840 --> 23:59.440 being owned by the bank or or ABC. like there's there's a lot of things that if 23:59.440 --> 24:04.640 you don't hit that deadline, there's so many other things that could 24:04.640 --> 24:10.080 go wrong with not just Disneyland, but the company and Walt going broke again 24:10.080 --> 24:15.760 and you whatever. And and that was fascinating to see just the domino 24:15.760 --> 24:20.960 effect of like, oh no, this has to happen. And then also just hearing how 24:20.960 --> 24:26.320 they deal with with these problems and some of them they kind of just go me and 24:26.320 --> 24:31.760 and they don't deal with them. They just keep pushing forward and and you know at one point they talk about Roy where it's 24:31.760 --> 24:38.480 like oh don't deal with or don't bother Walt with problems bring them to me and and that was fascinating and just 24:38.480 --> 24:44.159 hearing all of these different little pieces of the puzzle that make this work and it really is a fantastic 24:44.159 --> 24:50.960 documentary. Um, one other thing that that has to be recognized and talked about and we've talked about it before 24:50.960 --> 24:58.000 in several times I think now is all of the audio for the videos unless it's 24:58.000 --> 25:03.520 talking was recreated for this film and because 25:03.520 --> 25:08.720 all of the video was shot without any audio. Yeah. And and so Leslie I works 25:08.720 --> 25:13.840 who just did a phenomenal job went up to Skywalker Sound and in one of the 25:13.840 --> 25:19.520 interviews I heard her say it sounded like they did this in like a day or two. 25:19.520 --> 25:25.440 That's nuts. And and so they did all the fully and and we got told this before we saw this. 25:25.440 --> 25:31.919 So that's why I'm telling you because now you were you were cursed with this blessed burden that we were cursed with. 25:31.919 --> 25:37.360 You will now be watching and listening as you see this documentary when a bell 25:37.360 --> 25:42.559 rings or when a uh uh u the spike is 25:42.559 --> 25:47.840 driven into the railroad. Like you're going to start noticing these things and you're going to notice how one how well 25:47.840 --> 25:53.520 they line up. Two, how natural they all feel. Whether it's the bell on the Mark 25:53.520 --> 25:59.039 Twain or the different sounds of spikes as different people hit different spikes 25:59.039 --> 26:04.720 for the railroad. like it's incredible attention to detail and and that's 26:04.720 --> 26:09.760 really where I came from away from this going yes this is Disneyland handcrafted 26:09.760 --> 26:16.000 because Disneyland was handcrafted but you could easily say the same thing about this documentary. 26:16.000 --> 26:22.640 Yeah. I mean there there are two options you could go down here. You could be Mr. Daps and you could be like so uh 26:22.640 --> 26:28.480 thinking about it the whole time and you're like wow um this is amazing how 26:28.480 --> 26:34.559 they did this. I can't believe that the sound wasn't here originally. Or you could be me and you could be um the 26:34.559 --> 26:40.400 thing that Daisy Buchanan from The Great Gatsby says the best thing a woman could be and that is a beautiful fool. Okay, I 26:40.400 --> 26:45.919 forgot immediately and I was like, "Wow, wow, this sounds so good." And then it 26:45.919 --> 26:52.960 was about like halfway through the film that I went, "Oh, that's right. None of this audio is original." And then I immediately forgot again and I was like, 26:52.960 --> 26:58.080 "Wow, Railroad Spikes." And then after the movie was over, I was like, "Whoa." 26:58.080 --> 27:04.880 Um, so it's okay guys if you forget and you're like, "Wow, this is amazing." Or 27:04.880 --> 27:11.360 other possibility, everyone's just smarter than me and that's okay. Uh, I just get very wrapped up in things very 27:11.360 --> 27:17.039 easily. Okay, totally fair. I mean, there's a lot to be wrapped up in and and honestly, you 27:17.039 --> 27:24.320 could talk hours about this. And I think it's one of those documentaries that you can watch over and over and over again 27:24.320 --> 27:30.480 and pick up more things each time because there were so many good quotes I heard during this 27:30.480 --> 27:38.559 um you know, quotes about perseverance and and vision and p I said perseverance 27:38.559 --> 27:44.720 and just like innovation, innovation and and vision. like a TED talk for leadership. 27:44.720 --> 27:50.720 It is. And then there's also all of the terrifying moments that we just won't cover on this because I'll let you 27:50.720 --> 27:56.480 discover them on your own. And and then just stuff that maybe we've seen this 27:56.480 --> 28:02.080 much of the clip in a Disneyland show or what. Like there's there's quite a few clips. I don't know if it's quite a few, 28:02.080 --> 28:08.960 but there's a few that you're like, "Oh yeah, I've seen this." But then you're seeing it in context of a bigger portion 28:08.960 --> 28:16.240 around it. You're like, "Oh, I haven't seen all this." And and that's a really fun thing to see. And and so I think 28:16.240 --> 28:24.720 everybody that I've talked to about this, I've told them, so I'm gonna tell you, is I would like to watch it at least 12 more times. U at least because 28:24.720 --> 28:30.240 I just think there's that much to garner out of it and to pull out of it. And I think it's one of those those 28:30.240 --> 28:37.520 documentaries that probably will become almost like a Disney 101. Like if you're 28:37.520 --> 28:44.240 a Disney fan, you will have seen this. And this is one that you want to see early because it really is so 28:44.240 --> 28:50.000 foundational, especially the Disney park story. And um and I think that's 28:50.000 --> 28:55.440 something that's that's really special and a gift to us as as the Disney community. And then for historians as 28:55.440 --> 29:00.559 well, just to see this moment in time where you get to see something this 29:00.559 --> 29:07.760 iconic built with with all of its ups and downs. It's like there there's things that you see on this that, you 29:07.760 --> 29:13.600 know, maybe a Disney of 20 years ago would not show, but the Disney of today 29:13.600 --> 29:19.520 is showing. And I'm very thankful for that because they are showing warts and all. And and some of that is the like, 29:19.520 --> 29:25.600 oh, this this, you know, this isn't so safe or this isn't so perfect or but it will be because you know where it's 29:25.600 --> 29:31.840 going and and I think that's a great thing. But now we're getting to the fun part of the show, especially tonight 29:31.840 --> 29:40.278 because I feel like with with Disneyland handcrafted, there's gonna be quite a few questions. So feel free to ask them because it's time for 29:42.880 --> 29:49.360 comments. Comments. That is right. It is time for comments. 29:49.360 --> 29:55.840 So, uh, we're going to go through I saw a few questions popping up in here as we were talking. I'm going to back up. 29:55.840 --> 30:02.960 Well, we and see if I could find what I was like we talked about galaxy edged 30:02.960 --> 30:11.760 floor, but there was more. So, um uh let me make sure I go back. Um we we so we did 30:11.760 --> 30:16.960 answer the jar jar question. There we go. Um here we go. Uh could you do a 30:16.960 --> 30:22.000 projection and interact like how they do with turtle talk or crush your monsters ink glass floor? Being immobile instead 30:22.000 --> 30:27.840 of roaming is a problem though. Oh, for uh for Galaxy's Edge. Yes. But for um Obi-Wan 30:27.840 --> 30:32.880 Obi-Wan Kenobi, so Force Ghost Obi-Wan Kenobi, I think you totally could. Um 30:32.880 --> 30:39.120 even if it was just in the way that they're doing Bard, right? You know, like how Bard projects things. Oh, 30:39.120 --> 30:46.000 you could you could kind of play with that and maybe project him during one of the shows or something. Galaxy Edge original character, Bard. 30:46.000 --> 30:53.279 Yeah, he's great. Yeah. I don't know. Um All right. So, when do we expect? We did do that one. Uh, it could bring in 30:53.279 --> 30:58.640 Thrawn and we can make Pandora avatar jokes at him. I'm sure he'd love that. 30:58.640 --> 31:04.960 Um, I don't know if that would go well for us. Like that that might be a problem. Uh, let's see. 31:04.960 --> 31:11.919 Uh, also I broke the news. Bailey said that when she told somebody at her work, they gasped. I've got to break the news 31:11.919 --> 31:17.679 uh to somebody that works with me that has a close connection to the land. Uh, she had a similar reaction. 31:17.679 --> 31:23.919 Mhm. like she literally went, "Oh my gosh, finally." Um, do you think we'll ever get a movie 31:23.919 --> 31:29.039 this nostalgic made for DCA? 31:29.039 --> 31:34.960 It will really depend on I don't know that there's footage. There is. I'm sure because I think I've 31:34.960 --> 31:40.480 seen footage of cameras in the land. Um, 31:40.480 --> 31:46.480 and I I would guess there is somewhere. Um, the part that I would wonder is 31:46.480 --> 31:52.559 we're at a very unique time in the Disney company's history and in the next few weeks, months, whatever it's going 31:52.559 --> 31:58.159 to be, we're going to get a new CEO. And it'll depend on how that CEO runs 31:58.159 --> 32:05.279 things, how he he or she empowers people underneath them, and if this is viewed 32:05.279 --> 32:12.720 as something that's important as the DWalt Disney Company moves on. So, this this documentary really happened and it 32:12.720 --> 32:18.799 kind of goes back to what we were talking about with uh did you know is this was originally being developed for 32:18.799 --> 32:25.840 Disney Plus after the Imagineering Story. As happens, a pandemic comes along, 32:25.840 --> 32:32.559 things close up shop, budgets dry up, whatever, and this kind of gets shelved 32:32.559 --> 32:38.399 for a while. And and it kind it just it didn't have anywhere to go. And then 32:38.399 --> 32:45.200 through one of those happen stance chance conversations, Leslie Eyeworks was talking to a guy named Jason Recker 32:45.200 --> 32:51.440 who uh oversees a lot of digital stuff for Disney Experiences and said, "Hey, I 32:51.440 --> 32:58.799 have this thing we were working on, but it's it's not going anywhere." And so he asked to see it. She sends it over. He 32:58.799 --> 33:05.120 says, "This is great. It needs to happen." And so this actually came out of Disney experiences and not Disney 33:05.120 --> 33:10.240 entertainment which I find fascinating. But I like that they empowered Jason to 33:10.240 --> 33:17.679 do this or Jason was felt empowered to do this and then made it happen. I like that Bob Iger and Josh Demaro were open 33:17.679 --> 33:23.919 to seeing this project move forward and then seeing it being put on on Disney 33:23.919 --> 33:30.640 Plus and YouTube. My hunch is it was always destined for YouTube because we're seeing a lot of programming going 33:30.640 --> 33:38.080 onto YouTube from whether it's experiences or Imagineering or whatever. But um but there's a lot of things that 33:38.080 --> 33:45.760 lined up correctly with the right people in the right place at the right time. And so for a a DCA version of this to 33:45.760 --> 33:52.240 happen, you would need all of those things to happen as well. And you would 33:52.240 --> 33:57.600 also need to have a person with a vision and a passion for 33:57.600 --> 34:04.240 it, which Leslie Eyeworks clearly has for this. And and I don't know if like 34:04.240 --> 34:10.480 there probably is that person. I just don't know who it is. You took the fun question and you made it analytical. 34:10.480 --> 34:16.000 Sorry. What do you think? What I was going to say is I hope that they would because this would be real 34:16.000 --> 34:22.800 housewives level drama, guys. I'm talking the imagineers think all the other ideas are stupid. They're putting 34:22.800 --> 34:30.638 in things. They're like, "This is my thing over here. This is my thing over here." But my controversial take, oh 34:30.639 --> 34:38.720 gosh, I don't know that they could make this documentary anytime right now 34:38.720 --> 34:47.440 because I don't think there's a current happy ending to the DCA story because 34:47.440 --> 34:54.480 what the L or what the park set out to do was a California adventure in the 34:54.480 --> 35:01.280 state of California. It was, "What if you could experience all of California in one day?" Great idea. 35:01.280 --> 35:06.640 Awful in uh execution. 35:06.640 --> 35:11.680 What is it now? There's an Avengers Land might be in 35:11.680 --> 35:17.520 California and Pixar's based in California. And also, 35:17.520 --> 35:25.599 uh, we still have that Italian restaurant that we have from 1.0 and Jump Jellyfish. 35:25.599 --> 35:32.680 I don't know. I don't know that there's a a big enough arc to say 35:33.680 --> 35:43.240 anything. Mhm. You know, like what are you going to say? And this is the corner where we tore out the Muppets. That's sad. 35:44.400 --> 35:49.920 I don't know. Anyway, um I I don't know. Like anything like this has to be in the 35:49.920 --> 35:55.680 future. Like, and that's it wouldn't be made today. I I think that's a safe thing to say because they're still 35:55.680 --> 36:00.720 making and remaking uh DCA. But I could also make the counterargument that 36:00.720 --> 36:06.880 they're making and remaking Disneyland and you could make many of the same arguments of like, oh well, what happened with Tomorrowland? Or oh, what 36:06.880 --> 36:14.079 happened with Critter Country? You know, like there there's been moments like this in every Disney park. 36:14.079 --> 36:20.000 DCA and Walt Disney Studios have just had a few more of them. I was going to say I just don't think that like I also don't think we would 36:20.000 --> 36:26.640 get this for Walt Disney Studios Paris. I think we could soon. That one I actually see earlier than DCA because I 36:26.640 --> 36:31.760 think there's more interest in that um from the local Disneyland Paris team. I 36:31.760 --> 36:37.839 could see something like that happening, especially when they're on the like the 5year or 36:37.839 --> 36:43.920 even one-year anniversary of Disney Adventure World being a thing because now you have a park that's that's 36:43.920 --> 36:50.079 relatively complete. I would be fascinated by an entire one of these for the Disneyland Paris resort 36:50.079 --> 36:56.240 because I think everything from the strikes with Euro Disney to renaming it to Disneyland 36:56.240 --> 37:01.760 Paris to like all of these things I would find fascinating like I would watch 37:01.760 --> 37:07.119 it'd be interesting to see how deep they got into those too. But you do need a storyteller like Leslie Eyeworks% 37:07.119 --> 37:13.599 that's going to show the like, oh, these are the struggles. These are the the the wins and the because I think 37:13.599 --> 37:19.119 the challenges of the story are what make the the ending so great. Like the 37:19.119 --> 37:24.960 fact that the the success that much better. Yeah. And um and that's really any good story. 37:24.960 --> 37:30.079 Like if you don't have a good obstacle that you've overcome, well, who cares how it ends up then 37:30.079 --> 37:36.000 because then it just it's just whatever. So, I think that's where this could happen. Um, looking at Do you think they 37:36.000 --> 37:43.119 could ever screen it in the park? They could. I actually do think they could. My guess is it would be a D23 event or a Magic 37:43.119 --> 37:49.280 Key event or something special because I think it's about an hour and a half 37:49.280 --> 37:55.040 long. And so, I don't think it would be one of those things where it's like, oh, we're just going to do previews of this 37:55.040 --> 38:01.280 throughout the day in, you know, the Magic Eye Theater. Like, I don't think that would happen. But I 38:01.280 --> 38:09.040 could see them being like, "Oh, Disneyland 75th anniversary. We're going to do a Magic Key showing of this. Sign 38:09.040 --> 38:15.280 up for it." Or or D20 or a Disney Plus perk. You can sign up for it and you can 38:15.280 --> 38:20.720 get a discounted Disneyland. Like I could see there's certain ways that they could make this happen that would fit 38:20.720 --> 38:26.320 their business model of of not only sharing this with more of the world but 38:26.320 --> 38:31.359 also um bringing more people into the parks and making that a destination point in 38:31.359 --> 38:36.640 the night. All right, we hit the we are good questions. Well, there's more. Oh, there's more. 38:36.640 --> 38:43.359 It says new comments. Oh, new comments. Um I'd love a physical release of these document 38:43.359 --> 38:49.280 next. Excellent question, actually. No, I think Walt Disney World should get one like this next. 38:49.280 --> 38:55.520 Really? I I would be very intrigued to see one for Walt Disney World next that really got into the Roy Disney elements 38:55.520 --> 39:01.040 of it because I think uh so often that gets overlooked and yes, you hear how 39:01.040 --> 39:06.800 important he was into carrying on his brother's legacy, but I think he's also 39:06.800 --> 39:14.160 one that we could we could and should recognize and honor a whole lot more because um if it 39:14.160 --> 39:19.760 weren't for him, we don't have the Disney of today. And I think you could say that about most of the CEOs that 39:19.760 --> 39:25.680 have um that have taken on that role through the years, like with with one or 39:25.680 --> 39:33.200 two exceptions, maybe just one. And um but uh that's the one I would do next. 39:33.200 --> 39:38.240 And then I'd do Disneyland Paris. You keep getting so like reflective tonight. So I was just like I also think 39:38.240 --> 39:44.640 2.0 would have been the right window for a DCA doc because uh DCA 2.0 0 was this 39:44.640 --> 39:50.400 like utopian version of California Adventure. Uh Bugs Land still existed. 39:50.400 --> 39:56.400 Um there was still paper fastpass, but I don't think you can do 2.0 without 1. Like I think you need the 1.0. 39:56.400 --> 40:04.000 No, we're we weren't saying how I just said I don't think there's a success story. I think that say you made this 40:04.000 --> 40:09.520 documentary in 2012 or 2013 or 2014 and you say this is the land we started 40:09.520 --> 40:17.200 with. This is the creation and this is how we built 2.0. H maybe like yeah but now it feels weird because 40:17.200 --> 40:23.040 since 2.0 we now we're at like what 2.5 2.8. Well and really you want to see what happens with two Ford but 40:23.040 --> 40:30.000 correct that's never going to stop like that that is the challenge. Um, Disney C would be fantastic as well, but but once 40:30.000 --> 40:35.280 again, that one I actually think you would almost need 40:35.280 --> 40:42.240 like you almost need the foundational piece for all of these because then you can build on them. And 40:42.240 --> 40:47.920 I mean, you think of Disneyland Paris and how they decided to use real stuff 40:47.920 --> 40:53.839 to build the parks as opposed to plaster, you know, like there's so many 40:53.839 --> 40:59.680 interesting foundational stories that teach lessons that were learned later. So, I almost feel like you need to do 40:59.680 --> 41:05.200 that and they kind of covered some of them in Disney the Imagineering Story. So, I don't know. like it's it would 41:05.200 --> 41:13.280 really come down to like what's the story that that needs to be told and is it is it pivotal in the 41:13.280 --> 41:20.640 story of the Walt Disney Company because I think one of the things that this one does is it really shows how it's a pivot 41:20.640 --> 41:25.680 point in Disney and not just you know 41:25.680 --> 41:34.480 not just uh Walt Disney's life but like how it is that point where uh really the 41:34.480 --> 41:41.359 the main focal point at that point in Disney's history pivots from studios to 41:41.359 --> 41:46.960 now there's these two focal points of parks and studios and then it just keeps going and parks keeps growing and now 41:46.960 --> 41:53.280 parks are bigger than studios and and that's kind of amazing. All right, we will talk more about this on Daps After 41:53.280 --> 41:58.400 Dark if you would like. We are running out of time. So Katie, what should people do?
