So the Disney original PR guy was my buddy, Marty Sklar, who I met through my UCLA work. Shoutout to the memory of Marty. d23.com/walt-disney-legend/marty-sklar/
Happy to say Andrea is my 1st cousin, and our whole family is so proud of her. Great to see you here Andrea helping to cement the past. If you can find it, Andrea has a great CD, "CAB FAB", that takes you back to the smooky lounges of the 50's. I guess it goes without saying, great singer.
Oh i love this so much. Thank you for making these documentaries. I worked in Hollywood studios briefly as a college program participant. I'm from Southern California and was thrilled when i was placed in Hollywood studios 😂 i absolutely loved the crazy CA architecture but had no knowledge of the iconic landmarks. I love learning about dhs.
@@carlitapatricia absolutely thrilled you like the video! I worked as a Custodian at Disney’s Hollywood Studios as well. That is when I started making these videos. Gertie was the first one.
@@SizzleMap omg I was custodial too!! Fall of 2015. So many of my friends did not see the appeal of the job but I was elated! The freedom to walk around and explore, I wasn't tied to an area so long as I did my job. And I loved being one of the few cast members to have an earpiece 😂 we knew everything that was going on in park. My absolute favorite memories were cleaning up after fireworks, working after hour cast events, working private events like a wedding reception on streets of America, and working the last Osbourne lights event ever! I remember sitting at the top of the Lights Motor Action stand with my shift partner and watching the streets of America light up right at sunset. It was so magical. Anyway! 😂 I look forward to watching more of your videos!
Amazing work Forrest! Chase Senge eloquently summed up your Disney repertoire as to it's importance for capturing "fact" and "truth" from those involved. I always learn something new from your videos. Well done and keep up the great work!
This is truly a love letter to all things Disney, Broadway, and Beauty and the Beast! I loved every minute of it. Thank you for all of the time and care that you took in researching, writing, filming , and editing this! Amazing!
Wonderful piece - thank you for shining a light on this. The statue has always had a soft spot in my heart and to know the story behind it only makes it that much more special. It's a perfect tribute to Filmmakers and storytellers, made even better with this backstory. Kudos!
I’m thrilled that you enjoyed this backstory. This statue means a lot to me now too. Working on this short film brought so many amazing people into my life… starting with the amazing Andrea.
There is still some rather futile hope in the back of my mind that this could become a reality one day. Maybe one day the muppets will become widely popular once again and they’ll have the incentive to build a proper Muppet themed land. When ‘Grand Avenue’ inevitably gets destroyed to make a link between Galaxy’s Edge and Star Tours us Muppet fans will never forgive them if they don’t find a way to keep Muppetvision alive. I’m sure there’s space to still do a Muppet Studios area with the 3D show, restaurants for Swedish Chef and Pizzarizzo (but good) and an homage to the now defunct Great Movie Ride. It’s unlikely but I won’t let myself lose hope.
They need a good muppet movie comeback. If they have a sudden new surge of millions of new fans, they could consider something. But a whole new team will probably come up with a completely different idea for a ride to coincide what they are then famous for. It’s almost more fun contemplating what they could do in the meantime. One of the reasons I made this video was not only to tell Marcelo’s amazing story, but to give you a chance to ride this attraction in your imagination.
That looks so incredible. Faroe is on my list for over a decade but my bank won't let me go yet. Did the undersea Karmøy Tunnel in Norway, but that roundabout was in the middle of the island.
I have been there many times. There are cheap ways to visit the islands if you want to camp or can find someone on Workaway.com that can give you a place to crash. Everyone there is extremely friendly, and there is so much more to see on the islands.. one of the most beautiful places on Earth.
Thank you for such a well presented history on an overlooked piece of art in the parks. Public sculpture is so valuable everywhere…including theme parks. 🇮🇹
@@SizzleMapI'd also be super interested in documentaries about Universal, or even the other studio tours of the early years that led into what we have now...
Thank you so much for visiting. I just sent Offhand a very long THANK YOU email. I have a few more thoroughly researched Disney docs on the channel if you are interested. Thank you so much for visiting!
So fascinating! I love bringing a signature scent on an adventure that I want to remember! Whether it be an air freshener or specific lotion, I love that it triggers cherished memories from the past when I smell them today. I placed a Yankee Candle scent freshener in our hotel room for my first Walt Disney World trip with my mom 10 years ago. Now, we both have fond memories that are forever triggered by Pink Sands. ❤️
Thank you so much! 🥰 I have several more nature mini-docs in the works from my time here on the ship. I’m very excited about them. I wish that I had more time to work on them, but they will get done.. just probably after I am off the ship. Thank you for the positive feedback.
Happy Feast Day this Saturday 2024 AD Please Pray for Anniversary of Nicaea 325 AD next year 2025 It Would be Wonderful if current Bishops of 318 who attended Nicaea all made a video together in Thanks
I remember when Michael Eisner introduced Angela on a TV episode and said that this was the first time the title song, "Beauty and the Beast" was being performed anywhere. It felt like we were witnessing a part of Disney history in the making.
