Hi Jim, Conclusion: Disney knows about all the bad press the Resort is getting lately but doesnt care. 6. Without Hoskins ability to see (More importantly, make the audience believe that Bob was seeing) things that werent there, Roger Rabbit would have never worked. It had all of this lush shot-on-location footage (Though to be fair here I guess we should mention that this movies interiors were shot over in London at Pinewood Studios). While yet another was supposed to have shined a spotlight on trucks. Yes its real.). A-hyuck. Likewise the Japanese Village and Deer Park over Buena Park. In one version, Yosemite Sam gets so angry that he yells, Hold it, ya varmints! But again thanks for your patience as well as all your kind words. Easily move forward or backward to get to the perfect clip. So this change in the way that Disneyland Park operated during the off-season made things easier for Walt and Disneys book-keepers back in Burbank. That said, I was well aware at the time that many of the creative decisions in Who Framed Roger Rabbit were the result of legal negotiations in the boardroom. This was just four months after Michael Eisner had become Disneys new CEO. Gerald McBoing-Boing Which proves to be a problem on the off-season, given that there are days in the late Fall / early Spring when there are more Cast Members working in the Park than there are Guests coming through the turnstiles.

But she & Walt put on hard hats. But there was another aspect of Who Framed Roger Rabbit that for legal reasons as well as its difficulty-to-animate aspect that wound up getting cut from this Amblin production. Given that Im a short, round bald guy whos a bit rough around the edges, it probably wont surprise you to hear that I was (and still am) a huge Bob Hoskins fan. And Eddie Valiant searching for Roger certainly would have been an occasion to have Elmer Fudd walking by similarly hunting wabbits. If we built a Swiss Family Treehouse in the Park Well, that then means a steep set of stairs first going up into that tree and then a second steep set of stairs coming down out of that tree. Swiss Family Treehouse quickly became one of the more popular attractions in the Park. Famous characters Popeye, Bluto, Olive Oyl, Superman, Little Lulu, and Casper the Friendly Ghost, as well as Pat Sullivan 's Felix the Cat, and MGM's Tom & Jerry, were all scripted to appear in a scene revolving around Marvin Acme's funeral, but the rights to the characters could not be obtained in time, although a photo of Felix shaking hands The appearance has all the mourners (both toon and human) screaming A Ghost!

Just because a character didnt make his screen debut by the late 1940s doesnt mean the character didnt exist in the RR world it would be about 15 years before those penguin waiters would get their chance in Mary Poppins. Yosemite Sam winds up being the only toon left carrying Acmes casket. That in a nutshell is what happened here at Jim Hill Media.

All of which came in handy during those Mondays & Tuesdays during the Winter Months when people were staying at the Disneyland Hotel and had nowhere to go on those days when the Happiest Place on Earth was closed.

This is where I want you guys to build Disneylands version of the Swiss Family Treehouse., The Imagineers explained But Walt.

Great story and discussion.

In that document (which was also published on December 23rd of that year) states that: Again this year, as in each year since Disneyland Park first opened in 1955, new records were set for total attendance and per capita spending of park visitors.The change to a five-day operating week during the 1958 1959 winter season from the seven-day schedule in effect the previous year has worked out very well. Disney executive Jeffrey Katzenberg decided the funeral scene which would require complicated animation and physical gags to be included with the live action and negotiations unsure for the use of some characters in the scene, that it should be cut even though it was known that it was producer Steven Spielbergs favorite scene in the script.
