Anyone remember what Disneyland and the Disney Channel USED to be like?

Answer 1

I remember there was no commercials during movies...oh, they also had a budget for those movies. Animation was done at close to 24 frames per second and weren't hand me down cartoons. The best part was that there was no cheap spin-off of Disney movies like Aladdin and Lilo and Stitch. A over eight years ago, "late" at night, they had Zorro, the original MMC, and the Ink and Paint club. Classic! Where did the class go?

As far as Disneyland, they didn't redo it to match mainstream media. Turning the Haunted Mansion into the Nightmare Before Christmas attraction, or worse, getting rid of the original voices in it...making it more like that sorry excuse for a movie; or adding Jack Sparrow and other character's to Pirate's...making it more politically correct by having the pirate's chase after the women for food? Some needs to be fired.

Answer 2

I'm 22 years old and I remember the Disney Channel from the "good old days". I remember watching the Mickey Mouse Club when Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears were on. I remember visiting Walt Disney World and taking a visit to the actual set of Mickey Mouse Club. I remember when Disney actually had hand-drawn animated movies such as The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast. Now all the animated movies are done by computer, which are cute, but not the same.

Answer 3

Disneyland in the 60's and before (60's is as far back as I go) was FAR BETTER! Back then it was based on a child's imagination, FOR a child's imagination. As children, we thought the characters were real! And it was the job and responsibility of the people who worked there to make it seem as real as possible to the children. That was Walt Disney's whole point to making it! To stimulate the child's imagination, and so that those children who might never be able to travel to far off places and experience those things in real life, could do so there.

Today, it is politically-correct commercialized CRAP with "smart assey" characters, who love to hear their own cheap attempts at humor, catering to idiot adults rather than children. What a shame! Walt Disney is probably turning over in his grave!

Answer 4

I have been around since it all began. Disneyland was not a really big place back then and the rides were more primative (and it was easier to afford back then). It didn't take all day to see everything. It has definitely improved since those days and I've always loved it.

As to the programming, I thought it was better back then until I saw some old reruns of what we watched as kids and then I saw how much they really have improved. It's the contents that have been compromised, but the technology has improved.

Answer 5

I remember this series about a girl that could swim really well, & swam with dolphins. I think she was an alien or something.. I just remember crying when we moved to the country and lost cable..
