2. It contains, by far, the worst wardrobe choice I've ever seen in a Disney ride. Image
1. So before this were you aware that the alphabet was created by the Phoenicians? I don't see that as talking down to anyone. It's a statement of fact.

2. Spoken by someone that didn't live in the era depicted. That was the fashion and style of the times. Not a wardrobe choice by Disney but real life to many of us.

1. "Phoenician merchants established the earliest commercial highways trading goods and information at distant ports of call. To aid in record keeping, they created the first common alphabet and shared this new tool across the Mediterranean."
2. She's at work. The other figure is dressed professionally, so she should be too.

To me Dench sounds like a school teacher. That she's not talking down to anybody, she's just trying to teach to all levels. Making SSE seem like a futuristic classroom where the teacher can show the student the development. And then you hit that obnoxious "interactive" portion. Which is the worst part to me.

Hmmmm... too bad they can't change it yearly. That one guy's been painting the ceiling for a very long time!

I think a "Choose your age" option would have been a good idea- cater to the kids and adults, instead of catering to the lowest common denominator.

To the best of my memory, she was dressed professionally for the type of job and the era. Sorry, that's the way it was then, the gaudier the better. Remember this time frame was after the women's movement...they didn't wear long dresses and girdles and granny shoes anymore. You should have seen what the guys were wearing under their lab coats. It was to die for..... :D:

The "finale" flash game you are forced to watch due to having nothing else to look at :mad: it's the worst part by far.
