RIP the sky buckets because those were always fun.

My favorite California Adventure ride is Soaring Away. It used to be Tower of Terror but that's gone now. :/ I love the whole flying in the air thing and I like how sometimes you can smell certain scents on Soaring. Like oranges and pine trees.

@Alto in Disneyland yeah, Florida and Paris still have theirs.

I have a massive soft spot for the Country Bears show and I'm forever pissed they replaced it with Winnie the Pooh.
 
Oh man, I forgot about this great live action Disney movie from the 80's.

This was a great Disney movie. The Walt Disney Company also made Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken which I loved when I was a kid.

Exactly, and all because "OMG Star Wars AND IRON MAN AND PRINCESSES! TAKE MY MONEY DISNEY!" I imagine all the shills defending The Last Jedi from criticisms will sprung out in defense of this movie once it gets proper backlash from people who haven't been brainwashed by the mouse.

I'd like to see some of the old live action films. For years I thought they were mostly forgettable and corny, but maybe that's cause I had this idea they'd be similar to the Princess Diaries and the most sugary parts of Mary Poppins and such. Maybe there's more to it.

When Disney launches its streaming service they're gonna remake all the old live-action films. I'm not even joking. Remakes of Honey, I Shrunk the Kids and The Parent Trap are in the pipeline.

(What Disney should do with its streaming service is put all the content they own to good use. How about putting their classic TV cartoons on there?)
 
Anyone ever see The Watcher in the Woods? It was one of the first scary movies I had ever watched as a child, and to this day, I STILL can't believe that it's a Disney movie. I might need to give it a re-watch again; it's been a couple of years since the last time I saw it.


Since it's the season, what are some of your favorite Disney-related things to watch in October? Personally, I always break out Icabod and Mr. Toad, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, and The Nightmare Before Christmas. I also really like to watch Snow White during this time of the year, too (the movie just screams "Fall" to me, for some reason).

This is going to be sacrilegious to say this, but ... While Hocus Pocus is a fun movie ... It's not a good one. lol. It's not even close to being a favorite Halloween movie of mine.

Yes, but not like the musical version where it was like the book but with the songs from the Disney one. That's what I was talking about. Not just the novel version that's been done.
I wish they'd do this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hunchback_of_Notre_Dame_(musical)

Those movies haven't been like that one.

I saw a play in that format a couple of years back. Really well done, excellent show but no one in my family realized that “with music from Disney’s Hunchback” meant “with the hardcore elements of the original story and disney’s music”.

It was still really enjoyable tho, the story IS good after all.

I guarantee a remade version of Honey I Shrunk The Kids wouldn't freak me out with the Ant vs. Scorpion attack the way the original did. All these years later and I still can't watch that ant scene even as an adult. I'm not even exaggerating. That scene made me sob every time I had to see the part where the scorpion kills that ant.

Why not the Disney Sleepy Hollow, after all?


But don't forget


(And honestly, Hocus Pocus is kind of fun, but there's a couple of cringey parts. Nobody's been able to do a good rendition of "I Put a Spell on You" other than Screamin' Jay Hawkins.)

I wish I could get a DVD copy of Bedknobs and Broomsticks that wasn't stupidly priced. I like the movie, but not $9.99 ($15 for bluray) worth. $5 for that old of a movie, maybe. Or if they'd actually play the old movies on the Disney channel like they used to.

You're not talking about the Adam Sandler one, are you? Anyone can do better than that garbage.

No I'm talking Angela Lansbury. Technically you can get it for $5, if it's an add on to a "qualifying" order of over $25.

Well, I hope you get what you're looking for, someday, as what I've read up on sounds like it's worth the effort. Just steer clear of Adam Sandler's farce, unless you want something to be angry at, OK?

iirc Ub did another color Skeleton Dance a few years later, too, after leaving Disney

I remember watching this when I was a kid.
I have no idea if it's any good in any way, but it got a sequel.

Because it good.

In terms of Halloween, I watch the Ichabod segment, as well as the bad New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh Hallo-wasn't. It's almost funny. Nightmare Before Christmas is good but I instead watch Corpse Bride and leave NBC to Christmas

You just make me think of "Disney's Halloween Treat" all over again!
