I got my ticket! Anyone else going?

[CoasterMatt]

I'd love to, but Friday would be a lot more convenient.

I'm going on the 10th (that's a Saturday). This is when my pals from Lowrey go (they do the restorations of these films for Disney). The invite is open to everyone!

Bump!

We're going tonight!! (Gotta dash!)

Well, just got back from the show. Sat with LSP and Tom. Saw Al and some of those MC folks scattered about.

Beautiful print of Peter Pan. Was so much better than I remembered it. The panel's exact names escape me at this moment, but I"m sure you all know who I'm talking about.

We had June Forey (Voice of Rocky (from Rocky & Bullwinkle)
The voice of Wendy (And Alice)
The Model for Tink
Voice of the older boy
The animator who did the Genie in Aladdin.

The "special" guest was Richard Sherman who introduced a video of a song that was found in the vaults that was apparently ment for Peter Pan. He took the lyric tha was scribbled on a sheet and created a new song. The song is sung by Page O'Hare (sp) who is Belle.

They show a clip from "Disneyland" with Walt and the cast of Peter Pan and some archival photos. IN the lobby Peter, Wendy and Hook were taking pictures with everyone. The pre-show appearance of Tinkerbelle is really adorable.

Great digital transfer. Puts "Dumbo" to shame.

Speaking of "shame" the extra- extra treat was one of those "disney channel" groups came out and danced around to their version of one of the peter pan songs. I don' tknow which one because I was too busy crying with laughter at how absolutly horrrifying the sight was. I think that was the first time I've heard a groan that loud at the El Cap. People all around were tearing up. The highlight was when they asked the crowd to stand and clap thier hands. Everyone just looked at each other like they'd just been asked to suck the Pipe Organ into thier lungs. As they left the stage with little applause all I could think was "Good luck in rehab." Unfortunatly I also heard myself saying it aloud.

Then after the show they were outside to sign autographs. Lucky there were a couple tweens in the crowd.

Kathryn Beaumont was first presented and does the voice of Wendy.
For me this is my personal number one film of Disney.

It was a great show.;) :D

When did Tinkerbell marry "Belle" from Beauty and the Beast? ;) :p

Loved the show last night. We had seen Margaret Kerry (the model for Tink) a couple years ago, but she looked really different last night. The moderator seemed a bit odd last night, adding comments in various places that didn't really seem to fit, almost like he was trying too hard.

T-squad? Was that the name of the teenybopper group? I whispered to my friend that they were like a boy band, but bi-sexual. I've apparently had the habit of saying "bi-sexual" as opposed to "co-ed"...

I don't think I'd ever seen the entire film before, but I really loved it. And it made me really want to go on the ride and see Fantasmic! :)

Loved the ticking Croc. I never knew he was so funny.

Everyone's a critic. Must be my Belle infatuation... Glad you got to "see" it TTD.

I think it was T-Squared or Squad. Whatever they were called - they were bad.

I'd forgotten also how un- PC the indians were. I was crying with laughter at the voice of the Chief. Everytime he spoke I was screaming with laughter.

Last night’s experience was one I direly needed—as some of you know, it’s been a rough week for me. Seeing one of my very favorite movies—complete with a panel of the original talent—helped me remember that even in challenging times, it’s OK to have fun.

And on top of all of that, Eric Goldberg was there. His Fantasia 2000 piece, “Rhapsody in Blue,” is my favorite animated short in the last fifty years. Perhaps my favorite, ever. In an uncommonly brave moment, I approached him so that I could tell him how much his work meant to me. He seemed happy to hear it—and one of his animators on the project told me so. I was very, very glad to have the chance to do that.

In weirder news, Tom and I went to dinner afterwards, and California Pizza Kitchen was Disney muckety-muck central. Except that Margaret Kerry (and, I think, possibly Alice Davis?) and several other Disney employees I know enough to vaguely recognize sat on one end of the restaurant, and the entire rest of the panel sat on the opposite side. We were back-to-back with Kerry, and didn’t see the rest until we were exiting. I had a fan-in-the-headlights moment when I realized Richard Sherman was at the table; he noticed and winked at me as we exited.

Having been "busy" the last few days, the El Capitan event passed me by. Sort of a drag, too, since, just last night, I was telling Jo Jo that Peter Pan (and 101 Dalmations) are my favorite Disney animated features.

Which is why we were watching Peter Pan on DVD.

Last night.

Spooky.

Having your own private "panel discussion" no doubt. ;)
