Defunctland: The History of Disney's Scariest Attraction, Cinderella Castle Mystery Tour 

Sweet monster mash parody tho

I love learning about all these old attractions and I get a little sad that I never got to experience them myself. This show is awesome good job

But why did you keep calling it a ride?

Great episode! I hope all is well, considering the reasoning for the delay.

When r the books getting shipped?

so true

So, did you have beef with Cinderella at one point?

@@gracecarter2173 I think it's just because of the irony? 🤔

@@chinniebaby oh I see!

what villain from Cinderella could they have featured to fit in among the others, though? the old wicked step mother can hardly compare to dragons and demons lol

I cringed when he said they’d eat it up like rice

@@thebigchip1711 it's true tho

as cringe as "make the bad guys cry like an anime fan on prom night"

The entire thing seemed like a parody with bizarre it was. Seriously, I wonder if this was a commercial or a video meant for shareholders

Superiorartemis I mean knowing japan they’d probably have it so it does skip WW2

And failed, to the world's everlasting regret.

Best villain ever cause it did something good

@@haylinpm8973 too bad the movie couldn't do the same.

@@gregzotter6189 it’s far better than the woke shit Disney releases now.

@@geeebuttersnap2433 they don't do that though, because they love to appeal to russia and china

Spoiler: they weren't.

@@m1rac1e I think you'll find Japan has far stronger rules with wages than the USA.

@@MrStGeorgeIllawarra isnt japan the country with the worst work life balance and highest suicide rates

@@m1rac1e Isn't the USA the country where teenagers perform mass murder on their own classmates?

@@MrStGeorgeIllawarra hush now children yall both suck

I'd LOVE that too, done WELL, and they could even have the heroes (not the princesses, the HEROES) as the tour guides as they lead you into trouble!

That was the beauty of this attraction. It was the only one in the world that featured villains.

@@TheTiktok4321 I love it for that, and I WISH there was one with all of them from the Evil Queen to Scar with the heroes (not the princesses, the GUYS) having to band together to defeat them! It could totally be a walk-through attraction that's also a stage show with the characters...or it could just have animatronics, that would probably be creepier and more effective.

@@jemofthe80s18 I think if you'd want a reskin of this actual style, the ideal 'guide' character would be Gaston, who'd absolutely lead a group in through a villains' lair and not see a problem with that until something goes wrong (that's basically the climax to Beauty and the Beast, after all). I could also see Aladdin working from a perspective of 'have the thief show you around where the bad guys hang out', but I think Gaston fits a more general aesthetic better. As well as being a lot of fun to play around with as a character, and a really good counter to how scary such a ride could be.

OH...I think I can picture that. Aladdin would definitely be undercover who isn't a bad guy because he's NOT one (man, that movie--any Muslim could've told them what happens to people who mistreat poor orphans as well as what it actually means to be a thief) but is the one who saves the day. Only Gaston is in charge who doesn't take orders from anyone but himself and would let everyone else die as long as he gets out okay and as the hero...that's the tour I'D like to see.

fucking same

_" h a h a h a "_

My exact thoughts lol

Bro me too lmao

I know really I don't recall hearing Satan in the lines in the black cauldron

I feel this is a big thing people miss from any dark or gothic material. In most stories like this, the whole damn point is to find the "light in the darkness" and come out on top despite the gloom but everyone just hyper focuses on the setting or antagonist and how "terrifying" they are and denounces it as bad based on that. This is what made shows like Courage the Cowardly Dog so great; it scared the piss out of kids, sure, but it taught some very personal, close to the heart morals and was far deeper than anything we have today. The Mystery Tour is probably one of my favorite examples of this effect working as intended because it scared the shit out of kids, sure, but it also taught them that they could conquer that fear through courage. Most of them no doubt probably grew up to love horror movies and monsters later on and are subjecting their kids to this same stuff.

@@Impalingthorn Well, you have a point in saying that, but let me also say that I believe there is such a thing as going overboard. Like, I've read some tales, seen some things, the like, where there was a happy ending but the stuff that led up to it was so disturbing I was basically too shook or depressed to even appreciate it. There've even been one or two times where I felt insulted to an extent, as if the happy ending were less a satisfying conclusion and more of a hand wave, as if it were an insult to anyone who couldn't handle the dark stuff and not anything to lift one's spirits. And guess what? That threshold is different for everyone, and it's not a one dimensional axis either. Know what I mean?

Funny because that's actually what a lot of haunted houses usually accomplish with adults. If they're done right, they can give us the confidence and motivation we need to push ourselves beyond a limit we didn't think was possible. I can definitely see a lot of kids being scared by this then coming back and going "U know what? I wanna keep going."

right now, kids have an opportunity to face Kylo Ren -- not an animatronic, a living person -- and defeat him there's absolutely a market for the opportunity to defeat Disney's darkest (mortal) villain

And here's how we bombed Hiroshima kids! soo cool huh?!

Freaky! Unrelated: Your hair and makeup are gorgeous. 🤘🏾🖤✨

@@LoveMyUnusual Creepy pervert.

Honestly, it sounds amazing

Absolutely God damn nothing. It shouldn't be mentioned in the title.

that’s the point

@John-Paul Hunt what

@John-Paul Hunt Are you ok

@@SouthernBelleReviews ? That was the name of the attraction. What did you want him to do, make up a new name and pretend that's what it was called all along???

@Adrian Well he overspent on buying assets especially 20th Century Fox if he hadn't bought so much to the point where Disney is practically a monopoly they'd probably have been a bit more financially stable during this pandemic for at least a little bit more into the year.

Disney is evil

The Black Cauldron is probably my favorite Disney movie simply because I adore The Horned King.

This comment made me cackle aloud and interrupt my mom's tv show

there are tears coming out of my eyes

With those new ride vehicles like the ones from Mickey’s Runaway Railway that could definitely work

I think if I understood your comment correctly, there's a ride similar to what you described! It's called Jurassic Park River Adventure, and can be found at Universal Orlando! It's a water based track ride, where park goers get into small boats and are taken on a tour through Jurassic Park. At one part of the ride, it seems as if the boat is going to continue on its "intended" path, but instead takes a left into the "restricted" section of the park, where hostile dinosaurs have escaped and are tearing everything to shreds. It goes from a relaxed water adventure through the scenic open-air dinosaur park with a calming over voice, to an escape through a closed-air facility with a person shouting over the comms! The end of the ride has a large T-rex - which appears as though it will eat the riders - before dropping them down a long slide. It's one of those splash rides that you only go on if you're willing to get wet. I remember going on it when I was younger (about 8 or 9) and being absolutely terrified because I thought that the ride had actually been thrown off track by the dinosaurs!

six flags over georgia monster mansion

@@janicekraken4700 I remember the level of commitment to trying to get a photo of the T-Rex right before the drop.

That's kind of how the story of Expedition Everest works. It's supposed to be a nice mountain train ride, the track is destroyed by the yeti, and then you go careening through the caves backwards. Pretty neat honestly

I don't think it was about fault, in fact, that might have actually worked against them there. They made a really cool movie and put a whole lot of effort in, but it was still a flop, despite all that. Corporate saw that the animation studio just wasn't pulling it's weight, so they thought about pulling the plug.

@@shreddedyeet corporate demanded that the movie be cut down, maybe the movie would've actually been successfull if it wasn't amputated that late into production.

Honestly, as much as I will always dislike the movie for butchering one of my favorite book series of all time (seriously, read "The Prydain Chronicles" by Lloyd Alexander--they're damn good and really sophisticated for a middle-grade children's series), I don't blame the animators at all. There were a lot of extremely talented people working on the movie, including '90s renaissance hotshots Andreas Deja and Glen Keane. For the direction and script they were given, the animation is actually pretty great, and a lot of the concept art is fascinating. I just wish they weren't trying to stuff two different books into one movie. :P

@@amiefortman7220(I know I'm late but) I've never heard of this film and the animation looks absolutely beautiful. It feels like maybe it was more of a plot issue, which is annoying because animators aren't writers. Not that they *can't* write, but they shouldn't be expected to if they're already spending 40hrs/wk animating. It sucks how everyone wants to blame the artists when animated films go sideways cause most of the time it is definitely not their fault

can we also talk about how katsenburg reportedly literally tore out large chunks of the movie? the reason why the film feels so bizarre and disjointed is because so much of the plot was removed and the last year of production was spent trying to redo as much as possible (which is also why some scenes look grainier/have strange colours compared to others) Although honestly I think a lot of the animators probably just quit after this film - Tim Burton worked on it and cited the experience as the reason he gave up on animating

To satan mind you... In a mother fucking disney ride.

@@whoopingmuffin9700 Yeah I thought that one of Disney's main rules is that they don't bring religion into anything lol

@@cashwin45 Maleficent directly references hell in Sleeping Beauty. Not just spooky scary skeleton magic, mind, but rather *actual* hell.

It's kinda metal, honestly. If that dialogue is a direct translation from what the Horned King says, that's way more intense than anything I've seen in Disneyland, even the end of Mr. Toad. It's a shame to think that if they'd tried this same attraction here, American parents would almost certainly have been crying about their poor little angels being scarred for life.

@@kylefrank638 Yeah... but hell isn't part of a specific religion... it's a common belief that hell exists, in Greek mythology, Christianity, Judaism, etc. Satan is unique to Christianity.

That’s because Japanese cars last way longer than American cars

breakingglass27 I’m surprised he didn’t say “They rove Disney rong time.” 🤦🏾‍♂️

@jeremy ray "What? NO! We programmed them NOT to mention the war! Why are they mentioning the war?!"

Tbh don't see the issue. It was just making jokes about topics relevant at the time.

Nicholas Sinard the issue is that they did it with the tokyo ad and not the american ads (unless they did and i wasn’t aware)

If Iger had had the sense to use Disney's existing IPs instead of just buying everyone else's, we'd probably already have a Kingdom Hearts attraction by now (or maybe even its own land!)

@@Viking_Luchador that would have to go through Square enix. They originally had a (very scary) Sora walk around costume but that was only to promote Chain of Memories. There is no themed land for it yet.

I know there isn't. That was my point.

Young Tetsuya Nomura on the ride: WRITE THAT DOWN! WRITE THAT DOWN!

Honestly, I'm surprised Black Cauldron hasn't shown up in KH

also said overlord is the scariest disney villain ever

And here's how we bombed Hiroshima kids! soo cool huh?!

And then of course in my mind I'd be thinking I don't remember the story and Cinderella going like this.

Disney: lol, have an Isekai adventure, kids!

Sora: uh sir, This is a Wendy's

unfortunately, unlike buzzy, he is not currently left alone and out in the open for anyone to take.

@@ihatemyname2816 thats just what a quitter would say

@@applesKIWISbananas well if National Treasure taught me anything

While the black cauldron had a lot of issues... the horned king is still the most terrifying and my personal favorite disney villain

*I'm gonna get it first. O-O*

They could be- Disney reacquired the filming rights for the Chronicles of Prydain (from which the Black Cauldron is derived), two years ago. So odds are they're going to remake the film itself and/or possibly do the other books in the series in turn.

@@ravenf6 Well, they are doing Live Action reimaginings of their animated films. Black Cauldron, of all of Disney's animated films, could honestly use the Live Action treatment. It could certainly use it WAY more then, say, The Lion King -_-

Whenever I hear that idea, it reminds me of Metalocalypse.

Matt N yeah, I’d love an 80s nostalgia live action reimagining of the Black Cauldron like Princess Bride or Willow but with higher quality and modern technology... it would be fucking awesome

@@worrywirt You can't have better quality than Princess Bride or Willow today... it's all CGI crap and marketing bullshit.... They were and they still are cream of the crop.

@Aspiring Marauder i know it isnt just whites ruining everything, come on, rwanda, myanmar, boko haram, china, the modern slave trade. My point was that every country tries to cover what they did, until they cant do it anymore

They could actually make it to an "omni ride" like in the Pooh bear ride at tokyo Disney land or Mystery Mansion at Hong Kong Disney land

Yeah (gonna have to be in California since Florida has those pesky aquifers that would cause lots of water damage to the ride, though IDK how basements work in California so it might not work there either).

makes you wonder what the fuck Cinderella's problem is though. Or I guess her in-laws' problem. Did she throw her stepsisters and that fat mouse that almost ruined everything into the cauldron?

Disneyland Rio de Janeiro, Progamed not to mention 7x1

LMAO

Or Disney's Waco, TX attraction where it has no mention of the Branch Davidians and David Koresh.

Ufff a ride in where you are in one of the plains

Yeah why would you want to mention it in a fun theme park ride?

I would have loved it as a kid. Heck, I'd be into it even now.

No, it's actually a backhanded show of respect. America in the 1980s was paranoid that the Japanese had replaced them at the world's superpower, so the casually racist banter is a sign that America considered Japan as a potential equal. It's like how every passive-aggressive comment made by Europeans at the expense of Americans is made out of insecurity at American power and influence.

@@darkfool2000 Well said. The "they aren't buying our cars, but gobble up our culture" is a tacit and fraternal admission of defeat in one field and a tongue-in-cheek boast in another.

It’s really up to interpretation, as rice is the most popular food in Japan and has been for a long time.

It wasnt even racist, it funny lol

I noticed that too! It's really neat!

ah yes, the four genders

Misc scares me the most

YAAAS! I would love to go! I can imagine it. Oh how scary it would be dealing with them wanting to kill us and we have to defend ourselves eventually. I love to meet every Disney villain. Even the ones that are very underrated and overlooked by many.

I would absolutely bloody love this!! Lots of creepy and scary rides would be amazing. Id love like a scary/thrilling underwater ride for Ursula/Captain hook. A creepy safari kinda ride for scar and the hyenas. There's honestly so much they could do,and I think it would be one of the most popular parks ever

@@jennikifm2 like my beloved Frollo

OMFG! Really?!? Yeah I can't believe i just heard that.

America is eating it up like big Macs. Canada is eating it up like poutine. Israel is eating it up like falafel. Turkey is eating it up like doner kebab. France is eating it up like crepes. Germany is eating it up like bratwurst. Pakistan is eating it up like biryani.

@@ac2496 lmao “It’s not racist if it offends everyone!”

@@UC95mhG_3gy5GpQmB0kFf_Gg That’s fair enough. I just disagree. The idea that all Asians eat rice is a stereotype that has been used to degrade people. I personally believe that generalizing stereotypes made towards one race by another are just as racist as slurs. It’s basically the same as saying that they all look the same to me. Again, though. I can see your reasoning, and everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

@Michael Ok, that’s fair enough, but as I’ve said already, this is a manner of opinion. Nothing you say is going to change it and nothing I say is going to change yours. So let’s just drop it.

Turtle ofPride YIKES

I literally cringed, now that was spoopy

Yeah that one made me wince

What happened to China between 1937-1945. We were invited for tea it was nice... no rape, no massacres, certainly didn't kill almost 22 million people

We among other things. We're invited to have tea with the English in Hong Kong,Mayla,Burma and India. And totaly not force Obi Wan Kenboi to build a Railroad.

Wtf how was there an “immersive experience” based on bbc sherlock

wow man, that’s amazing and unbelievable (yet pretty believable) that you went through the tour alone at age 5 in the late 80’s early 90’s (?) just a different time back then that’s for sure, and yes you were amazingly brave to make it through at age 5. i’m guessing that your parents talked w the guide and a few other adults before ? wow alone through that at age 5 is just amazing. really up until maybe 13-14y/o would be really really scary I’d imagine...

I share the same trauma! I visited Tokyo Disney when I was 6 and my dad insisted on taking me on the tour because he thought it was a princess castle tour. I had a terrible feeling from the beginning for no reason and kept asking my dad to leave the line with me, but he kept assuring me it would be okay for an hour. I thought maybe I was overthinking it when the guide brought us to the castle doors, but then I looked up and saw the Magic Mirror in like the tiniest form possible. I begged dad again and he said it was just a regular mirror. HE WAS WRONG ABOUT EVERYTHING! Little me couldn’t comprehend that all of it was fake and was 100% convinced we were going to die during the room with the Horned King because the skeletons below reassembled themselves and their empty sockets glowed red. I remember frantically trying to figure out how to fight them until the hero stepped in. No small child should be subjected to the stress that this attraction brings when you don’t understand any Japanese omggggg. This was in 2001 or 2002.

At one point we’d see other cast members in the dungeon and I was like YES WE’RE SAAAAVED! Someone is here to help us! But they didn’t move at all (I’m guessing they’re just cast members that make sure guests don’t do dumb things in a dark and narrow tunnel.) so I thought they were possessed. Little 6 year old me was very stressed and kept thinking of various escape and/or kill plans.

you still have your hero medal?

@@drewfinn2 I think Japan is considered a lot safer for kids to be alone compared to America. Human trafficking is a smaller risk there and everything is generally more orderly, especially back in the 80’s

It’s kinda funny actually - even though the line can be seen as (and probably was intended to be) racist, Rice is the most popular food in japan, and to extent most Asian countries

Cedric Dungo i wanted to laugh at it but it felt wrong and I ended up coughing

It feels really racist and yet I can't come up with a logical explanation why it should. 🤔

Cedric Dungo weren’t you paying attention? It didn’t fly by yesterday’s cultural standards either. The only difference is the groups complaining about it have changed.

Wow. I wasn't expecting this to blow up. It's not even that I was offended it was just that I was amazed at how casual it was.

I think that is insanely good theme for a Disney park: however, I don't know how you draw families v older crowds

well with the rise of disney adults, this would actually be wonderful! i know my edgelord ass would have loved something like that as a kid

Yeah this made me think of Twst too. Would love to see even a small portion of Tokyo Disney with a dark kingdom!

YES PLEASE!!

Better than all that Frozen and Star Wars crap they did built

we think the animation department may not be real after all

The problem is in America, when we think of an animated movie, we think it is a cartoon. Silly, but happy and make you laugh. In Japan, an animated movie can be more like anime, which often has a darker and more serious tone and not necessarily a happy ending. The Black Cauldron is definitely not a kid's cartoon more like a Japanese anime. Since the Japanese audience are more use to his darker form of animation, they would be more receptive to that type of film.

@@bermanmo6237 I disagree with this and I really don't see what it has to do with the original comment.

Ditto then the Black Cauldron plot was "lauded" instead of panned.

When he met with the animators for the first time, Eisner spoke and tried to get familiar with the team. While talking he cited his favorite cartoons...not one of which was a Disney product. So maybe he didn't know they had one.

nockels sez right?!?? Wow. “The casual racism is scarier than any jumpscare I can come up with”

What shade? What racism? If the animatronics are programmed to not mention world war 2 then you lot are programmed like good NPC's to find racism in everything. Acknowledgment that a different race or culture _is a different race or culture_ is not racism. Acknowledging that Japan doesn't need/want American cars is not racism. "Eating it all up like rice" is not racist. Asians eat a lot of rice. Rice is a base food in Asia just as pasta is in Italy. It's a factual statement. My Chinese friends eat rice for 90% of their meals. It is not demeaning, nor is it meant to be. De-program yourselves from your idiotic madness.

@@arturoayala1004 That would be sweet! Or something like Outlast, imo, or a mixture of both games. ^^

omg garrett daddie

hi garret i love you

bro u gunna talk abt shane anytime soon...

Omg GARRETT 💜

You come here often?

And here's how we bombed Hiroshima kids! soo cool huh?!

@@Hannah_The_Heretic what

Same here. One heck of a very underrated yet unique movie. By Disney standards of course.

same it was such a good movie spite the plot being a little wack

Same here

I saw the ads, it was curious why each character had an "ouch" moment... Why put that Ina trailers?

this was my favourite movie growing up. i would rent it from blockbuster every week, my parents eventually asked if they could buy the copy cause i would keep taking it out haha

I was 12 and my dad took me. I was obviously terrified. He was even scared! That was intense!!

Having it be an ET ride would make it more terrifying to a young me.

A girl had a full on panic attack when I was on it, they had to temporarily shut off the ride, all the lights went on in the middle of it and after she was escorted out it continued again. Made it even more intense. She was screaming bloody murder.

Just be glad they didn’t have a ride based on Invaders From Mars.

OMG, there are adults out there that would have had a heart attack if it were E.T.!

i really like how for 9 months people dont bother that gman commented on a defunctland vid

PAZUZU

@@maskmaskmaskmaskmaskmaskmaskma Probably because their audiences don't cross over much. You can also find Gman comments under old music videos, where he's gushing about how attractive he thinks the female singers are. I'm not joking, look up "Heart of Glass Music Video".

@@HOTD108_ Ok but who doesn’t think Debbie Harry is a gem?

Nope, I think that would be amazing!

I would pay good money to see metal Black Cauldron. They should have Candlemass do the music!

I would watch the shit out of that 😁

dragonforce next album 2020

@@axelblack2073 hell yeah man Candlemass is amazing and I think that kind of epic doom metal would fit the film well.

The fact that half this comment section tho is claiming it’s just a joke and the truth so it can’t be racist rly makes me question humanity and if we actually improved

@@laradanan3411 The Japanese eat Rice, they love Rice. There's nothing wrong with the statement, you're just weirdly oversensitive.

You are very sensitive aren't you?

@@Octavian2 You are very lonely aren't you?

@@dooshdoosh4312 You are very sensitive to peer pressure. Aren't you?

And here's how we bombed Hiroshima kids! soo cool huh?!

Our Friend the Atom goes to Nagasaki.

I cannot

@@laureniancu1296 Well yeah that's kind of the point of this channel.

@@astridmyst I just thought u didn’t know because u said u wanted to go sorry

@@laureniancu1296 Haha it's okay. I do want to go. If it existed still. I'm sad it doesn't xP

Gg

Jfc what is wrong with you people. Saying slurs isn't funny.

Cringe clowns have arrived to say racial slurs 🙄

it took 6 months but we fucking did it, reddit

I actually thought it was rather funny. It feels more like "all in good fun" banter than anything truly malicious. It's also a product of the 80s when Americans were paranoid that Japan had replaced them as the world's superpower (As seen in Back to the Future). It's also hard to condemn when everything said about Japan was true, and if those mild comments are "casual racism" then it's by far some of the most innocuous.

you are now official defuncted ! :D

Mind telling us what it was like to be a tour guide of a ride then? I'm assuming you were referring to the lady doing that tour.

It's definitely a dude at 8:13

It was panning between the two peeps so I couldn't tell. Still the question still stands either way.

Congrats!

I agree, Disney needs to embrace the popularity of their villains more than they currently do. A series of "what-if" fanfiction novels isn't enough.

I agree. The dark stuff is just as artistic and creative. I wish I could have experienced this ride because it seems so immersive.

well hkdl does haunted houses, so maybe this one will make its way there someday

@@warriorseamonkey1693 Yeah! I watched a video FastPass Facts did about those and was super surprised. I think the only way that would work in the states is to have it be a special ticketed event. Like Mickey's Halloween Party. That way parents would be less likely to get confused and traumatize their children. I would totally pay to have a disney version of a halloween horror nights type experience with disney villains.

Went to a Dutch fairytale themepark... it had people encounter death and tragedy about as much as magic and wonder. Because people die just as often as they live happily ever after in fairytales.

I find it weird that they used a live actor. Even when Hans Conreid did it in the Disney Christmas special in the fifties, it was disturbing. The mask figure is so brilliant and effectively "Disney" that a live actor makes it go "off-model." The castle tour could have easily animated it with the tour guide acting in time to it. Then it could have had all the effects added too.

Lisa Jonasson Yeah, I would not have guessed it was the magic mirror from Snow White. Maybe they just wanted to make him look more Japanese, so they made him look more kabuki theater instead of Snow White? I don’t know why they didn’t animate it. I guess Disney America couldn’t do lip syncing for Japanese, or maybe Disney Japan had limited animating capabilities?
