    Scar from “The Lion King” dislikes the “It’s a Small World After All” song (for the record, he did ask Zazu to “sing something with a little bounce in it”).

    I’m pretty sure there was a ‘Pearls’ comic with Rat writing to Disneyland asking the dolls in “It’s a small world” to beat each other up.

    what is wrong at disney? so many bombs. is it too many tv people thinking that movies are easy? or, is it the locations are really in crazy areas(central florida, anaheim, paris?). $225 million for a 2.5 hour movie about a cowboy and his native shaman? $250 million about a human on mars. and, why does mars need moms?

    Ohhh! Lucky Pig! I wonder how outrageously high Rat has set the ticket price for the Beerland boat ride? Could we all go, too? —Before I go crazy hearing that twisted tune in my head?Won’t You Let Me Take You on a Scenic Cruise?

    If Disney ran “Beerland”, they would screw it up big time by charging high prices for admission, you would have to bring your own stein, and would have pay toilets in every section of the park.

    I’m convinced that the guy who designed this ride must have been on acid at the time.Here’s a link for anyone who has actually not been on this ride. Watch at your own risk.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJFGAX77zw4

    What a tin ear for verse! All he has to do is use singulars in the first two lines and the rhyme is full instead of half. Must’ve had a few units too many of the park product.

    The lines are veeery long on the more popular attractions at BeerLand. You should buy a FASTPASS ticket for this ride.
