World of Color; the stage is set

A place to be entertained. Videos, jokes, games, and more.
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.

Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

"Dreams are as portals,
flat visions of misty places,
fragments bound below my surface,
but I can write dreams,
they flow from me,
inscribed but now unbound,
I touch them,
and they are real,
and they are real."

Wow - that looks like it'll be an amazing show.

Wow.... wow wow wow wow wow. The lagoon was drained and much of the piping in place when we visited last July, and I could tell from the preview paintings that it would be incredible, but... even they didn't begin to do it justice. Wow.

The spectacle alone will be jaw-dropping... but is there any story-telling to the show that anyone is aware of? That's what usually kicks it up from amazing to tears-welling-up joyful for me.

Oh, and also? Wall-E and Eve!!! :wall-e: :)

Answered some of my own question: Here's another video where they talk about the storytelling. Okay, I'm already getting misty-eyed!
