Peter Coffin brought me here. Thank you for talking about the annexation of Hawai’i! I was born and raised in Honolulu, and it was dismaying coming to CA for school and realizing how the takeover of Hawai’i was relatively unknown :(
Thank you for opening my eyes to the history of Dole. I figured out that the old dude was the same Dole as the company before your reveal but it's still disgusting. BTW I came here from Peter Coffin. Take my comment praxis for the Machine Spirit!
I can definitely agree and see where you’re coming from. The two different kinds of viewing aesthetics are amusement art(escaping from real life) and magic art( Reminders of the real world), I think most people view the enchanted Tiki room from the amusement point of view.
I still love the tiki room and plan to experience it again many times on my next trip. Also the Dhole whips are AMAZING!!! Sorry but I’m not going to stop enjoying my favorite part of Disneyland. Also I love reading old fantasy books by Edgar Rice Burroughs.
That's lovely. Tiki Room is definitely one of my favorite attractions, though I do enjoy it more because of its complicated history and artistic context. Nuance is a wonderful part of appreciating artwork, and I'm happy to share it with everyone.
Thank you for this very fascinating video! I love the Enchanted Tiki Room but I always get so uncomfortable at the Dole propaganda video before the show, as much as I love Dole whips lol
Whenever I think about cultural appropriation I think about my childhood..... and all those Tiki themed birthday parties I had at my neighborhood pool....... really wish literally anyone in the world had been around to explain this kind of stuff to me.
I admit that I used to be one of those white dudes who didn't care too much for "cultural appropriation" theory. It very often gets misinterpreted as saying you can't emulate or consume products of other cultures, which would be a stupid and separatist sentiment. That said, it IS true that there's a history of products from certain cultures being marketed and then distorted through stereotyping, and that this usually went hand in hand with a disrespectful and imperialistic attitude towards the culture producing those items. And, let's be frank, it IS fundamentally hypocritical to hold racist views towards a group of people while remorselessly consuming stuff associated with their culture. People need to realize that it becomes appropriative when disrespect becomes part of the picture.
Yeeeaaahhh, while I tried to use pronunciation to differentiate between the traditional kingdom of Hawai'i and the colonized state of Hawaii, my elocution on the former was.... an attempt at best.

Know someone who pronounces "Ghost of Tsushima" differently? Think any of the pronunciations in this video are wrong? Let us know by commenting below!
Thank you for the historical context and the fun video. I really hope to watch part 2 and 3 some day.

Well made. Thank you for this fun, informative and honest video.
OMG, this is the channel I needed that I never knew existed! Smashed the subscribe button so hard - can't wait for the next entry in the series!!

she didn't say to stop.
I'm so glad this series is back! Thank you for making such informed and entertaining content about the art in the everyday world.
I love The Enchanted Tiki Room I'm a huge fan of it and Hawaiian culture in general
It always seems to fascinate me and I'm very intrigued by it

Thinking about cultural appropriation makes me confused and hungry.
I'll solve this problem with making more Dole Whip.
What a Fantastic video I just finished watching it for the second time today and I'm super excited for the remaining two parts.
Are we gonna ever get the Art Theory about the parking lot? Or was that a joke?
This was enjoyable, even if the FedEx delivery at work made me three minutes late. >:( Hope to see Parts 2 & 3 soon. :)
Tonga Hut is in an Art Theory video, my life is complete
Nobody has ever seen a bassoon.
You kept saying Doles. And I kept hearing it. and then it clicked sometime later when I had a jarring flashback to the beginning of the video
Always glad to see you upload, great video!
I'm a simple woman. I see new Art Theory ep, I squee and click
You weren't kidding when you said it's gonna be awhile...I'm guessing the pandemic was a huge hurdle.

Thank you for nuanced take on this.
Is there a part 2 or 3 I can’t seem to find it?
Currently working on part two. Will be out before the end of the year!
@@Tricksterbelle thankyou for the quick response I appreciate that, and your content.
Most actual tikiphiles don't consider Margaritaville part of tiki culture
The Tiki Room is surreal.
How ironic. I'll miss the live premiere due to visiting Disneyland.
Haley sweetie are you ok? Do you need a nap after all this? *sees this is part one of three* OH HONEY! DONT DIE!
All in favour of a movie about the enchated tiki room being made say aye

Can't wait for parts 2 and 3!
Thanks for pronouncing my name right (for a short name, almost No one gets it right.,)...Good luck and looking forward, as usual, to the next one!
>Makes a whole video about cultural appropriation of Hawai'ian culture
>Mispronounces the word Hawai'i
Comical.

I’m having a tiki party. Any recs?
