dude you are an absolute life-saver. From the carousel of progress community, thank you for uploading this. I have been searching for that clip for years since I saw it once on twitter years ago
You're welcome! It's a rare clip because its exclusive to a website called moviesanywhere. I had to buy the bluray and register it on that website JUST to see it. Screen recording it was a whole other can of worms.
What’s amazing is not just the footage, but how they managed to reorchestrate Rex Allen’s Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow and make it sound like they remastered it instead of hiring a new orchestra. That’s very faithful to the original and Rex and Walt are smiling down on whoever did that!
Why didn't they leave John with his leg crossed? It looks strange with both legs on the ground and that also allowed the foot to have some movement like in the fair version. Does anyone think the same?
this was filmed in WDW at the actual Carousel of Progress. They either green-taped rover or changed his shell to make him appear white for this. Similarly, they also crossed John's leg and changed his facemold for this
