it's a small world

Recent events enable us to continue our series on Bad Behavior in the Disney Parks. For this show, we discuss the “bathroom video voyeur,” John Stamos banned, and Mr. “It’s a Nude World After All.” Thoughts? Let us know at show@magicourway.com. Every opinion will forever be welcome on this show.

Natalie says fuck you to A.I. and Bob Iger while discussing the particulars of the latest SAG-AFTRA contract negotiations.

The quiet thing is finally said out loud, as the person (Victor Figueroa) who edits the Hidden Mickeys podcast and wrote this blurb you're currently reading is called out for being hot garbage.

And remember the time when Carrie and Natalie were the first people to be completely naked in Disneyland's "It's a Small World"?  About that...

Today is Travel Tuesday. It's like the Black Friday for travelers. Some airlines like Spirit, Frontier, American, United, JetBlue, Delta, and even Canada Jetlines are offering discounts on flights, hotel prices, and all-inclusive vacation packages.

Seasoned travelers swear by Tuesdays for booking flights. Perfect timing for post-Thanksgiving travel plans.

Did you know that departing from Florida on a Tuesday and returning on a Wednesday can save you up to $85? Hopper's got the stats on that.

"The Late Show With Stephen Colbert" hit an unexpected hiccup. Colbert is recovering from surgery after a ruptured appendix, leading to the cancellation of a week's worth of episodes.

"The Late Show" has had its share of interruptions this year, from the Writers Guild strike to now Colbert's health. Wishing him a speedy recovery.

First Lady Jill Biden unveiled the 2023 White House decorations with a theme of "magic, wonder, and joy." The decorations pay homage to the 200th anniversary of "'Twas the Night Before Christmas."

It's a whimsical setup with over 300 designers transforming the White House into a festive wonderland. The Gingerbread White House alone is a masterpiece with 40 sheets of sugar cookie dough, 40 sheets of gingerbread dough, and more.

And there's more excitement coming. The White House Holiday Ice Rink on the South Lawn will be unveiled by First Lady Jill Biden on Wednesday, Nov. 29.

That's a new addition, considering the historical absence of a holiday skating rink.

Now, switching to some lighter news, an Illinois man struck gold, or should I say $390,000, after a gas station clerk's printing mistake with his lottery ticket.

60 year old Michael Sopejstal plans to use his winnings for travel and savings. 

A 26-year-old guest at Disneyland in Anaheim, California, wa riding the "It's A Small World" ride when he, reportedly under the influence, decided to strip off his clothes. Anaheim PD had to step in.

Now, let's talk heroics. In Reading, England, a crane operator, Glen Edwards, became a hero by rescuing a man trapped on a burning skyscraper using a metal cage.

Incredible story. Edwards's quick thinking and skillful actions saved a life that day.

And finally, NASA is making strides with a quiet supersonic jet, the X-59, aiming to reduce the sonic boom to a 'sonic thump.' Flights from New York to London in 1.5 hours could become a reality.

Dans ce nouvel épisode entièrement dédié à l'actualité de The Walt Disney Company, notre trio habituel aborde de nombreux sujets : le grand final des 30 ans de Disneyland Paris, la série Willow sur Disney+, l'attraction It's a Small World. L'expert de notre équipe répond quand à lui à votre question : pourquoi n'y a-t-il pas de film d'animation Mickey ?

In part one of this series, I posed a mostly rhetorical question:

Are professional artists (whether aspiring or experienced) foolish to believe that their work could be both financially sustainable and creatively fulfilling?

Then we observed a struggle between these two extremes in the early life and work of Mary Blair, a genius of color and design who became one of the most influential artists in the history of Disney animation.

…but before that, she quit.

…after just fourteen months at the studio.

…and then abruptly changed her mind.

Today we’ll learn that, after her return to Disney, Mary Blair discovered, in effect, one crucial question that led to an elevated role in which she soon found the work to be both financially sustainable and creatively fulfilling.

…a crucial question that led her transformation from versatile mimic into the marquee artist of Cinderella, Alice In Wonderland, Peter Pan and the animatronic wonder It’s A Small World.

…a crucial question that every professional artist (aspiring or experienced) would be wise to apply.
