Disney blowing thier own horn?
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.

Re: Disney blowing thier own horn?
My take on the whole sing-along showings idea? I like it! I'll NEVER attend, but I like it. No, I LOVE it.
Why?
Because last night, while the sing-along theater filled up, my wife and I had a theater to ourselves for our first showing.
I love the sing-along theater idea. And to be fair, it is a fantastic idea for all the people who do want to sing along.

My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

Great Zazu, I looked through the 10 plus "character" smilies pages and Didn't See Olaf! I promise I'm trying, maybe he was in another category?Zazu wrote:Do you people even bother to look?DisneyMom wrote:Is there an Olaf Smilie?
If searching is too much trouble -- and it is a very long list -- you can also just guess. Enter <space><colon>Name<colon><space>, then preview your message to see if you guessed right. Don't forget to capitalize names.
Thanks, tho, I Love

For those of you suggesting that my singing might inspire some to lose bodily functions and leave the facility in terror, I can only reply that I received an enthusiatic response singing "Let it Go" during a urinary catheterization. Thank You. :Elsa:

Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

No, no. That wasn't what Olaf said.hobie16 wrote:Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow.WEDFan wrote:I seem to recall Olaf commenting that yellow and snow is *not* good.
That was what FRank Zappa said!

And, you want to be careful quoting Frank. He said some pretty wild (and odd) things.

Nope, he's right there on page 7 between Odie and Ollie. He is a bit hard to see against a light background, I'll grant.DisneyMom wrote:Great Zazu, I looked through the 10 plus "character" smilies pages and Didn't See Olaf! I promise I'm trying, maybe he was in another category?
Feel free to PM me if you don't find somebody who ought to be there.Thanks, tho, I Love

Re: Disney blowing thier own horn?
Okay, so I have to admit, I have the album and have listened several times. It's funny, the way the songs are written and performed, I hear a lot of the sound style from Wicked, with a bit of Tarzan thrown in. That is certainly not a complaint.
