what's worse is that Disney has kept up this "amusement" formula since then. It's basically turned entertainment into corralling people into a theater, turning off the lights, pressing a button to make robots do a pre-programmed show, turning the lights on and kicking people out to let the next group in right behind them to be "entertained".
As for format, that also is just cloning this to be music numbers, wisecracks, "audience participation" (clap along!), and some stuff talking and singing on the walls or back of the theater. Basically, Disney becomes Chuck E Cheese Deluxe
Sat through this with my wife and kid, and it served its purpose, which was to keep us dry from the brief rain that had kicked up.
My 4 year old was pretty much indifferent to it (the show that is). If I would have seen something like this when I was 4 my brain would have melted. Times have changed.
Disney was originally going to expand on the Country Bear mythos by having an infrared gun ride with the characters. Premise: the riders head into the swamp where the evil moonshiner bears live and bust up their stills.
Instead, they built Splash Mountain and this Chuck-E-Cheese show hasn't had a rehab in decades. Why does Disney only ever greenlight their lame ideas?
