Finally! A place where she can wear that swan dress again.

Making a suitable replacement for the Gay-tor, I might add.

Well, will they fix the choke the chicken scene, finally?

Well, it's a world of laughter a world of queers.... :P *groan* hahah if anyone with camera and photoshop knowledge wants to have some fun for some new avatars, I'm game

Here's what I wrote on MiceChat:

I hardly consider myself a "Disney Purist" or even a big fan of iasw but I think that the addition of Disney cartoon characters in that ride sucks eggs.

It is one thing to "plus" the attraction in the spirit of the attraction -- see, for instance, the plussing done to the Jungle Cruise (perfect) and the Haunted Mansion (yes, I know it is debatable with Constance, but for me it doesn't take me out of the attraction... it's still the same mood as the ride).

Plussing that has really screwed up the mood, feel and/or spirit of the attraction? Pirates is a perfect example. It puts you into a specific time, place and storyline which is less fun, less imaginative, less evocative of the mood, less stimulating to the imagination.

Disney characters in iasw were sort of fun when, for instance, there was a little Stitch plastic item as a present on the surfer's board during the holiday version... stuff like that (i.e. the dolls were getting disney presents for xmas). But actually adding them to the ride? Aren't there other specific places for all of those characters? How does screwing with an attraction for the sole sake of changing it "plus" the attraction? How does it have to do with children all over the world holding hands and getting along? If these changes are made, then iasw will be about children playing with Disney toons all over the world -- did they re-hire Paul Pressler when we weren't looking?

Stupid, stupid idea Disney. If they add Disney toons it will cheapen the ride. There are other ways to plus it -- adding show scenes, adding special effects, covering up the tiled ceiling, adding more dolls, making it brighter and happier -- THAT is plussing the ride.

That's EXACTLY what I thought when I read the update this morning.

Ditto! I just read it. WTF?? Why can't they leave the good attractions alone? They will probably add Pixar characters too.

[Mary Blairiffic]

Oh no. They're ripping out the genius of Mary Blair yet again? First the murals in Tommorowland and now parts of "It's a Small World"? This is simply not right. And Disney characters being included makes no sense. I had no problems with the changes in the HM or PotC, but this stings.

[Not Afraid]

Well, IASW already had Euro and Frodo Potter as an addition....how much worse could it be?

[Alex]

Since I intend to go through life without ever again being inside Small World it doesn't much matter to me. Though unlike some other attractions that have been updated this one doesn't seem to have been suffering the passing of time so it seems like fixing something that ain't broke.

zapppop predicted that Julie Andrews' head would replace the clock's head out front at IASW and now he may be right.
