That's so Walt. Got 100 feral cats? Let's feed them, clean them, then find them homes.
And to this day Disneyland keeps a fleet of barn cats to keep the mouse count at two.
@@andrewwilliamsmusic6307 Like most people, in some ways, he was a good guy, and in other ways, a bad one. It can't be denied that he was an amazing person in a lot of ways, but he also had some truly reprehensible racist and antisemitic beliefs (though I don't think he ever wanted to kill all Jewish and Black people...he was just incredibly prejudiced). Humans are complex, and Walt was too.
@@justanotherhappyhumanist8832 Walt wasn't any more antisemitic than the average person at the time. Jews who worked for him have nothing bad to say about him when it comes to his treatment of Jews.
@Blake Belladonna Well, ONE of them did, which is part of the reason he sadly has that reputation. Doesn't help that he associated with the MPAA, which had a lot of anti-semites, and Henry Ford, who WAS a known Nazi sympathizer.
That being said, there's a difference between antisemitism and having poor choice in friends, and it's probably the latter. After all, even Art Babbitt, who LOATHED Disney, passed on the opportunity of calling him Antisemetic. And while he had his flaws (being notoriously anti-union for example), he does get a rather undeserved bad rap, considering it's based on friends and the word of one disgruntled employee.
If Disney can afford to take care of some stray cats, why can't they afford to raise the employees' pay check?
I love how Disneyland still has feral cats roaming the park that help keep rat infestations down. And they still care for the cats by leaving out food and water, defleaing and vaccinating them, spaying and neutering them, and giving out unplanned kittens for adoption.
I'm pretty sure I remember watching something (probably a vlog) that said the cats at Disneyland are a big thing to ap holders and in the disney parks fandom, which is cute.
Miles Bockelman Bob Barker would be proud of the spaying and neutering aspect
What? You want thousands of flea-infested cats roaming around because the breeding population isn't controlled?
Sinister Sweet Re-read the comment - the cats are neutered and well cared for. I doubt they take them to the vets but don’t bother with flea drops 🙄
MICKEYYYYYY MOUSEEE NOOOOOO
Best part of the story is he fact that Walt was nice to the kitties. What a good guy.
00WolfSpirit yes true
I thought that was sweet.^^
@Oggatha Christie Fellow humans are a far bigger health risk than cats. Thinking it's okay to kill non-humans to "protect" humans is seriously effed up. We are no more important than any other animal.
We are Siamese, if you please . . .
Walt Disney may have cared for cats... But he wasn't that kind...
Happy to hear that he cared for and helped the cats find homes!
Apparently, Disneyland continued that tradition. In the late '80s I saw an orange kitten walking around over the outdoor Tiki Room pre-show. When I told employees about it, they already knew, and it was okay.
If only he was still alive today, he'd find homes for all those stray cats trying to escape the malibu wildfires
Oh I know, that made me so happy to hear!
FANTAVISION same!
FreedomforHaiti yup! Cool right
love how the early princess movie attractions all started out completely scary
Those movies had the scariest scenes
That’s bc a lot of original “fairytales” were very dark (would be super cool if they had kept the original and made it an adult or pg -13 attraction... also generally the Disney in Paris is darker than the ones in the USA which I find interesting) .... basically Americans and other westerners watered fairytales down and made them have happy endings (eg if you look at the original brothers Grimm stories like Hansel and gretal, it’s much darker than the version that’s told today).... also you can see the difference in how fairies 🧚♂️ are portrayed- if you meet a true Irish person who has had stories passed down generations, they’ll tell you of evil creatures that will punish you if you disturb their ring forts or make them angry... the American versions have all been sweet and only get sweeter- look at tinker bell - she originally was a bit vindictive and mischievous (but at times sweet) but over the years she has gotten more and more sweet in various depictions...
Yes
I love it, too. I wish Disney still had a few rides that were closer to those original ones.
@@candicecart9786Evil is disgusting and boring! I don’t understand how you can prefer that over Disney changing the stories so that the6 can have a happy ending. The movies also still teach a lesson, what could be better than that I ask you.
I actually think my favorite parts of these kinds of videos is reading the comments of people's stories from when they were actually able to experience the old versions of the parks.
The cats should've been the attraction.
Amity Pines 😂😂😂
The aristocats
not worth the flees tho
They now have their own instagram
How about the fleas?
A few corrections: I accidentally called Prince Phillip "Prince Eric"...sincerest apologies, I also referred to Maleficent as "Queen"...or maybe I'm just trying to establish an alternate universe...only time will tell.
Could be worse, could have said King Maleficent or Princess Philip. 😂
Literally went to the comments to say that. Good catch.
She is a Dark Faire queen. The other issue that killed the old walkthrough was it's lack of ADA compliance the Castle lacked elevators something Florida has. The replacement complies by adding a mini theater for wheelchair ♿ bound guests that runs a video walkthrough of the current tour.
Do a video of the history of MUPPET ViSiON 3D Disney's California Adventure (2001-2014)😎🐸🐻👽🐷🐭🐔🐰
So it was just a mistake? Darn! I was hoping that I could use that as evidence for my Disney Expanded Universe Theory! I still believe that Lady Kluck is one of Chicken Little's ancestors!
i literally thought you were going to walk through an abandoned castle
Carly in our dreams!
Same here XD
Same here
Carly it was never abandoned the small attraction inside was closed down no hate shown
Me Too!!!
This is a long story but here we go. When I went to Disney Land I was 9 years old (I think) and Sleeping Beauty was my absolute favorite movie. When my mother and I walked near it I ran up the steps and she ran after me. I was thrilled and I loved all of it... that is until the Malificent parts. When I heard her laugh and saw her. I shreaked so loud and started bawling my eyes out. I ran down the stairs and pushed past my mom yelling "SAVE YOURSELF MOMMY!" I ran into my dad's arms (he didn't go in). She came out and saw me clinging to my dad and she said "don't you want to finish the tower? What about true loves kiss or the fight, that's your favorite part!" I just slumped down on the ground and told her she would have to carry me up. I always thought it was a dream but I saw this and all the memories can flooding back to me. What a beautifully scarring experience.
Edit: This is making me realize I was such a drama queen.
Reminds me of my experience with the Snow White's Scary Adventures ride in Orlando. I was...scarred for years and it felt like a dreams after so many years till I found out no the ride was real. 😂
Mikey Schultz no u
Lol, the feel when you let mom die in Malificent's endless slumber
Yeah, maleficent scared me too
oh honey ... xx
Man that cat story was interesting.
I loved this!! Thank you for the thorough history...I was a decorating cast member when we cleared out the animated figures. I can definitively tell you the reasons besides the obvious, were: extensive structural damage(many dioramas were completely caved in from rain and firework damage), the need for security cameras, and ADA compliance. My team repurposed the figures on Main Street, and I myself rehabbed and created the Forest Dancing scene inside the castle shoppe. They were handmade beautiful treasures and I’m so happy I was part of the castle’s new chapter :)
That sounds so amazing! Thanks for working hard to keep a part of the Disney History alive!
My father proposed at the final scene with the Kiss. I'm so glad they brought it back, and luckily I was able to experience it myself(albeit, of course, differently).
As a CM, I LOVE this idea. I've seen so many proposals in front of the Castle, that I love more creative ones.
When I grow up I’m proposing to my girlfriend this way it’s going to be such a beautiful gay moment we’ll get married at Disneyland too or at least have the honeymoon there because Disneyland is my actual life ❤️ I think I’ll propose in front of the haunted mansion and then we’ll go to the blue bayou on the secret reservation I made for only a few minutes later
Another theory that I heard about the 2001 closure was that the attraction was not ADA compliant. Guests could only experience it if they could climb up and down the stairs. You'll notice in the current version, there is a wheelchair-accessible experience near the exit of the attraction, on the ground floor. :) Love seeing the old parts of the original! Very cool.
I heard that at the time but had forgotten about it.
I think there’s a lot of truth to this. The viewing area for ADA, although better than nothing, is pretty weak. Much in the same way as the viewing area for Nemo
So abandoned I didn't even know it existed
Those are the best kinds of subjects IMO :)
@@YesterworldEntertainment yep! Makes it more interesting. But don't use them all up I'm trying to get into the theme park game!
@@TheWyman55_
10 business deals that will blow your mind
Funny thing about that. I go to Disneyland often, since it's about 15 minute drive from my place, and a LOT of people don't know it exists - or that it's still around. I can't count how many times I've overheard people complaining about how they miss the Castle Walkthrough, only for me to tell them it's still there.
I think it's because of the low profile - the sign is rather small compared to all the stuff around it, and since there's no line/ropes you can easily miss it unless you already know where it's supposed to be.
Omg really? I used to love going into this when I was little
Wow, Walt is just a great guy. He bathed and found homes for over 100 cats. 10 out of 10, Walt.
TEN OUT OF TEN
Disney Bran, Disney Man rip Walt
He was also racist tho oop
@@izzyarias5210 [Citation needed]
Sleeping Beauty is my favourite and most nostalgic Disney movie for me. I'm glad the current version is closer to the original version of the walkthrough as it focuses more on the castle scenes rather than the whole film (ugh those mannequins), making you feel like you're really in there.
Yeah, those dolls and the department store window animatronics weren’t up to Disney standards. What they had before was way better. You just expect a really great optical illusion/effects coming from Disney that would incorporate the animation in the film. Those mannequins were cheesy and like a cheap knockoff.
I don’t know how accurate the bit about there being a hundred cats and enough fleas to turn a shirt gray was, but telling employees to turn a tiny room inhabited by cats into an attraction (because movie) and making sure said cats were adopted sounds like a really Walt thing to do.
Walt saved the CATS! 😭😍😭😍 my cat-loving heart! 💕
If I was covered in that many fleas I'd have to set myself on fire immediately. My skin is crawling just thinking about it
I would run out of the castle when i see 100 cats because i have cat phobia
When I was a baby my parents took me to Disneyland and video taped it. I transferred it to dvd and still works. When they took me Sleeping Beauty's castle had the moving dolls. It was pretty awesome
I have to say as someone who grew up with the dancing doll dioramas in the castle, I really really really do miss that version.
Still I'm just glad they brought it back. I hated those years when it was closed.
I'm always amazed how you find all this information especially the photos of the "goon" props. Thank you.
Oh my god! That story about Walt finding homes for all of those cats is TOO adorable.
Well done, as always! I had no idea that there was an older, classier version of the walkthrough before the cheesy 70'd redo, nor that the recent reimagining had so much to do with that original version! So cool! The only things I really missed from the 70's version was the large physical animated dragon (I thought it was pretty impressive at the time) and seeing the actual "dancing" Aurora have her dress change color. Everything else in the recent version is a home run. Thanks so much for all the details, research, and photos!
i visited disneyland for the first (and only) time as a kid in 2003 and was devastated that sleeping beauty's castle was closed, even though it would have been old news at that point. it seemed ridiculous that such a magnificent castle was just an empty shell. good to know the attraction reopened in later years. maybe i'll go back someday...
It did and I should know because I was in it after it reopened. One of my favorite parts about Disneyland.
I'm so happy I got to go right before they closed it. I was 5 and the dolls were like my favorite thing.
Walt Disney, Cat Rescuer.
Adam seriously! So awesome.
I thought Walt hated cats?
Movie Maniac no that was the Jews
Anyone else remember the sleeping beauty DVD that had a featurette about this attraction
Dicaprio Delorean yeah
I do
Yep
Wait that was real?! I knew it!! Everyone told me it never existed, but I remember going through it!
This was so cool! I’m glad they got rid of the Barbie doll version. The new version is beautiful.
I just wish they had a walk through version for Cinderella’s castle in WDW 😖.
Hessed3712 if you ever get a chance to have a meal at cinderella’s castle, i’d highly recommend it! it’s a lot of fun and you get to see the inside of the castle!
Cassie Jeffries yup
I wish they did too! If you ever get a chance to go to Tokyo Disneyland, you can go up in Cinderella's castle and see a bunch of beautiful art like this, there is an area where a little animatronic Jack and Gus pop out of the wall and look around for a minute, and you can even take pics sitting on the throne. I wish they would bring that to Disney World 😩
the Barbie Verizon is better and amazing . the new one is just a screen
Did you know that legendry animator Don Bluth first worked on Disney's Sleeping Beauty as an assistant animator when he first started part-time at Disney?
Kydra Fraznoir I did!
Recently I saw a stage production of ‘The Aristocats’ (my niece was in it) and I had been expecting a character which wasn’t in it. The character was ‘Zasu’, a singing cat, and I discovered that she was actually in the first Don Bluth production, a half-hour film called ‘Banjo the Woodpile Cat’. Don and his animators left Disney after working on ‘The Aristocats’ movie and their first film is very similar, and very good.
Technically Don Bluth and Gary Goldman left Disney during production of The Fox and the Hound which was the last Disney movie they worked on taking other animators with them, and he didn't work on the Aristocats. And did you know he returned to Disney after 40 years for a visit?
He did in matter of fact he along with Disney legend Burny Mattinson worked for him.
He Quit Disney Because He Notice That Disney Start To Go Downhill
The stray cats story is my favourite about disney. Walt was a good guy and it makes me happy that the the strays are still honoured and cared for.
This is one of my favorite things to do when I bring friends to the parks who didn't really grow up going. It's one of those things that only "regulars" really know about, so it's really fun to share it with people!
I'm just so happy for the castle cats.
Anyone think the outline of the first “single blinking goon” of Maleficent’s demons looks a bit like Mike Wazowski? 👀
I thought it looked a wee bit familluar...
Walt Disney predicted Pixar.
Cheating.
*_Is no one gonna talk about the creepy af goons tho?_*
fuck them
Yea, ever since I watch this video, this hunt my mind
That moment when you realize that your cat went to Disneyland before you
also in the scene where prince phillip is spying on aurora if you paint the face white and cut out the eyes it looks like michael myers is stalking aurora.
Disneyland Paris castle walkthrough is amazing
So I've heard, would love to experience it some day
I absolutely love this walk-through! Aurora is my favorite princess and this brings her story to life. Thank you for doing this episode.
Emily definitely has the coolest crown and best hair
the old disney imagineers should have made galaxy's edge. the old-timers got it.
"Prince Eric spying on her in the bushes..." :O He is a timelord.
this is why i love walt ...he took all the cats and got them homes
Sleeping Beauty’s castle at Disney Paris made tears stream down my eyes. It’s so much more magical than the original
It’s Prince Phillip. Not Eric. Unless he is cheating on Ariel. 😂
I'm trying to establish an alternate universe of the Disney characters....Yeah, I'll go with that ;)
Yesterworld Entertainment you also called Maleficent the queen at one point.
Again...I'm going to attribute this to my alternate universe concept ;)
Yesterworld Entertainment can I add an idea for your universe... Mike from Monsters Inc is really Kermit
@@Foxy02016 Mind Blown
ANYONE ELSE HOOKED ON THESE VIDEOS?!?!? I AM SOO INTERESTED IN THEM, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR MAKING THESE VIDEOS!!!!!!!!!
Walt adopted the feral cats in his castle. And people still call him a monster online.
Maybe not a monster, but a not so savory product of his time. He got a lot of innocent people in trouble due to the panic of the "red scare".
Ffs, he wasn't a monster OR a saint. He accomplished both good things and bad things in his life. He was a person, like anyone freaking else.
Luna Pyrope The majority of directors, actors, journalists, writers etc. who called Communist on others HAD to or else they themselves would be accused. It’s a classic save yourself move.
Luna Pyrope I love Walt, but you’re right. Dude ruined some careers because he bought into that red scare nonsense. And my mans smoked like a chimney
He was both a good person and a bad one.
Love the walkthrough! Sleeping Beauty I think is one of Disney’s most beautiful movies. Every frame was a masterpiece.
I guess the cat story inspired The Aristocats, right?
And ‘Banjo The Woodpile Cat’, the first Don Bluth production, which his team created after they had worked on ‘Aristocats’. Banjo is available on UA-cam and it’s very good.
@@jamescarter3196 I saw a dvd at Dollar tree. I remember it from when I was a kid but haven't got a chance to rewatch yet.
I absolutely love it! I was so excited to see this in my notifications yesterday~ I've only been to Disney Land twice-- once in 2006, when I was 6 and so I don't remember much, and then last year. This was the first attraction my family walked through, and I loved it (for obvious reasons). My mom had gone to Disney Land regularly in her high school years because of band trips, and she got to see the Barbie Doll version, but I had never seen pictures of it until this video... I'm very, very happy we got what we have today.
Thanks for this, Yesterworld!
When you said "The tragic events" and showed a pic of California Adventure, I thought you were going to say "the tragic events of the opening of California Adventure.
3:30 To add a happy ending to this, Disney actually employed most of the cats as mousers to my knowledge. They were paid with food and shelter 😊
Such an interesting history! Sleeping Beauty was always one of my favorite Disney films as a kid. Unfortunately, I've never been to Disneyland, only Disney World, so I never had the chance to experience this unique walkthrough... but maybe I'll get to see the newly revamped version someday :)
The version at Disneyland Paris tells the story with elaborate tapestries on the walls. It's GORGEOUS.
Of course, the whole castle is more beautiful than the one in California... So if Sleeping Beauty is your favorite, then THAT'S the place to go.
I had my first kiss in the Castle, I thought everyone knew about the walkthrough 👀
the mannequin version reminds me of team america world police.
I always liked this simple attraction. The dioramas were very clever and my imagination soared as a kid. Seeing it many years later, of course it seemed a lot smaller. The worlds we can create as children, when our imagination is not clouded by the reality of life experiences.
aww omg úwù it makes me so happy what he did with those cats. thats just like walt, love that
Walt Disney: Cat Delivery Man
lol
I've been watching you for like a year and I think this is my favorite of your videos so far!! Well researched, well told, cute animation. Thanks for making this!
I totally remember going to Disney around 2008 and going into sleeping beauty’s castle to watch the scenes and stuff. You totally brought back memories!
Yay!!! An abandoned attraction story with a happy ending!!! :D
Holy moly these videos are the highlights of my life!! They are so interesting and intriguing!! I could watch the videos all day on repeat!! Thanks for making them!
I remember on my first trip to Disney I was 6 or 7 and I remember the Sleeping Beauty Castle tour since she was my favorite princess. I have always remembered doing this walk through and being terrified at the end by the Malificent shadow. When I went back and saw no trace of an exhibit I came to the conclusion that I probably just dreamed it. This proved me wrong and brought back all of those memories of my first trip.
The knowledge that he made sure the cats were healthy and got all of them new homes made me smile ^~^
I miss the original attraction, I loved seeing them in the doll like form. More real like when you're a little girl. Everything is so digital now. Wish they would of redone them and kept the originals still. But- at least its open still. Hopefully it will stay open when I have kids of my own soon.
Thank you for making this video. Sleeping Beauty castle walkthrough is one of my Disneyland grails. I seriously enjoyed watching this vid.
I remember the walk through in the early 90's on a trip with my sister and cousin. We were all young adults who had grown up seeing the re-release of the movie in theaters as kids. It wasn't flashy or exciting but I remember just enjoying the nostalgic simplicity of it.
I basically grew up in that castle. I have early memories of my parents carrying me up the stairs, and also crying when I heard Maleficent. Haven’t been back in a while, but everything about it I remember and love.
Your videos are always such a delight, and filled with so much insight and history! Thank you for everything you do! :)
Thank you so so so much for recommending that Etsy page! I needed something to get for my aunt for Christmas. Absolutely perfect
I always it was based on Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany
I remember walking through the sleeping beauty castle a few years ago , it was very narrow but magical
This has to be the funniest reenactment I've ever seen.
Keep up the great work. I love all of your videos!.
Looooove these videos. Top notch quality. Great narration. Lots of research and passion clearly goes into these. Thank you!!!
That was incredible Mark, thanks for making me part of this amazing video!
Thanks for this video. I have always been fascinated by the Sleeping Beauty Castle walkthrough since I watched it on the dvd the Maleficent shadow at the end also brought traffic to a stand still because kids were so scared, so if the Goons slowed it down...
This is awesome. I'm from the East coast side of the U.S. So i've never really been to Disneyland, I'm much more used to Cinderella's Castle from Disney World but the history and charm of the Sleeping Beauty Castle is something I'd like to visit someday.
My mom first visited Disneyland when the was 3 years old in 1960. One of her most vivid memories is the original walk through. It terrified her! I never saw the “Barbie” version in person, but it looks awful. It has none of the artistry and beauty seen in both the film and the old walk through. The attraction being restored to something that has the spirit of the original is an absolute delight! When it reopened I had a wonderful time going through it with my mom as she introduced it to her grandchildren, my little niece and nephew.
Hi, enjoyed your video. I worked at California Theming in 2008, where the recreations of the walkthrough were made. It was fascinating looking at the copies of the 1956 blueprints, that Disney provided. As a kid, never thought I'd be working on exhibits for Disney. Also sculpted many of the pieces that made up the Pixie Hollow exhibit in Disneyland. Thank You.
The story about the cats really made me laugh! It’s really nice that he cleaned them up and found homes for them
That was simply an awesome history, so much detail and old photos and video's. I thought there was no more SB walkthrough when I went to DL a few years ago and was delighted to find the attraction by accident...
This was always my favorite thing as a kid. i remember crying when they were doing refurbishment around the castle and closed off access because whenever I went I had to get a drink from the drinking fountain near the enterance.
Lol I go through what’s left of the walk through like 5 times a day because of the AC 😂
I loved the reenactment! A lot of work went into this video, I can see!
Glad you noticed and appreciated it!
Always love to see a new video from yours in my sub box!
When I first visited Disneyland back in 2011 at the ripe old age of 27, Sleeping Beauty Castle was the very first attraction I went in (by pure random chance; I didn't even know it existed before visiting). I was always into theme parks and had heard Disney were the kings of themed entertainment, but something about that attraction just absolutely flawed me. Its over-saturated scenes made it look like a cartoon come to life and the effects were pure magic. In some ways it's responsible for setting off my Disney park obsession to this day!!
"Sleeping Beauty Comics! Sleeping Beauty hats! Sleeping Beauty Bubble Gum! And biggest of all... Sleeping Beautyland!"
(Please tell me someone else gets that reference)
I just had a random thought. What if they build a new Disney park in the middle of the US? I know it wont happen but i think a new state of the art park would be amazing.
They tried that with Disney's America in Virginia. One of the reasons why it never went through was that the park would have to be closed for 3 months during winter.
It just isn't worth it to Disney.
I wish they would bring Disney to DFW! Six Flags just doesn't compare!
I think one would work in Branson Missouri. It's already a huge tourist city for the region (plus it's only 6 hours from me huehue), and Silver Dollar City has had it too good for too long since they bought out and shut down neighboring park Celebration City.
Mike Hawk there was plans for a NY one but that clearly didn’t happen
Numero Letter I've been dreaming about a Disney in DFW for years, but be careful what you wish for because of the inevitable increase in tourism it would create. In reality though, the summers get too hot for a mainstream Disney park. If there were to be another one, it would have to be a much milder climate.
In the 80s, there was an access door to the dioramas that was often left unlocked, leading to mischievous character appearances. If you happened to be in the walk-through at exactly the right time, you might have seen a scene in which the tiny fairies were in danger of being trod upon by a life-size Geppetto, or a 6-foot-tall Big Bad Wolf....
I definitely went through this display when I was a kid. I had no idea that there was so much history behind it. Very cool video.
Hey Im a DCA cast member before i started working for the mouse i never was into park history just the movies. I just wanted to say your videos and channel is so thorough, interesting and informative. I really like it. I also have recommended some of your videos to guests so they can get a concise history and interesting facts. Love your channel keep up the good work 😀
That part about the cats made my day. 😊🐱
Thank you for doing this! I love your videos and I wish I could like it more than once!
What a awesome guy for taking care that the cats found homes. You the man Walt Disney.
I got to go the year this re-opened and it was magnificent!
Great job. Informative, nice pace, some humor and great vintage visual.
I really enjoy that story about the cats.
I love your editing lmao I laughed out loud when Tony showed up during the cat story
Wait, the first goon is Mike Wazowski?
