The Christmas Experiment 2013 Hour 15+16: The Disney Christmas Parade 1996

This is 25th Anniversary of Walt Disney World parade so the Castle is made up like a cake. Excuse me if I'm not into this time, mostly eating dinner.

Like I said last year, the parade isn't quite a tool to promote Disney Channel stars yet. We still got a few years. Let's see if anyone worthwhile shows up. It's being hosted by Suzanne Summer and Jerry Van Dyke. Jerry is either working well on his absent minded persona or he's going out of this mind at this point. Either way, it's kinda odd and he totally takes Suzanne by surprise more than once.

They're splicing three parades together: The Christmas Parade, the 25th Anniversary Parade, and the Toy Story Parade. Remember when Toy Story was novel and not just something that happened every summer? I do.

There's a Song of the South float. I always forget that there was a time that Disney would acknowledge that that movie even existed. I know the film is considered racially insensitive but it's also kinda part of the studio's history. Refusing to acknowledge your history is as bad as embracing the bad parts. Disney needs a Print on Demand service like what Warners has.

They still do promos for current and upcoming films. In this case, we get a promo for the live-action 101 Dalmatians. We also get a promo for some sitcom that last a season called "Life's Work." Never heard of it and it doesn't sound all that fun.

Non-Viewing Thoughts: Cruella DeVil can totally sue for Defamation. Singing something like that in Britain isn't very smart.

Late Christmas Ideas: I wanna go to Disney someday. Pretty sure it's never happening.

Notable Commercials: Remember when they still allowed people to do testimonials in movie commercials then they found out that a bunch of the people were getting paid to say good things? I remember the worse offender was Scary Movie which has AN ACTUAL PERSON  IN THE MOVIE talking about how good the movie was in the ad.

Tally:
Mountain Dews left: 10
Amps left: 2
Cups of Coffee Drunk: 1
Pumpkin Pie Left: 1/2 left.
Sanity Rating: (1 being Mickey Mouse, 10 being The Mad Hatter on tons of Mercury):2
