Dead Robot The space between gay and straight, stupid and smart.

Thursday Awesomeness – Disney Style!

• Rampant boobies at Disneyland! No more censorship at the Happiest Place on Earth - not enough staff, not enough flashers. Oh ... I may change that. Via BoingBoing
• Some say Hanna Barbera were responsible for the downfall of television animation during the golden age of TV and onto the 70s. I think Disney themselves pioneered the techniques of rotoscoping and reusing. Again, from BoingBoing
• According to the book The Disney Mountains, people use to use the grassy knoll beside Tomorrowland and Cinderella's Castle as a place to catch some private kisses. While Disney didn't seem to mind, he really wanted a mountain to replace the empty space.
• The two approach procedures aircraft must follow into Orlando Airport are named Goofytwo and Minnietwo. Via Hiddenmickeys.com - lots of fun facts there!
• SharkBoy is currently downloading all the podcasts from The Big D. He single-handedly has over 100 hours of single rider video from all the parks. His Disney-fu is unstoppable. Via The Big D Podcast
• We all know the frozen head of Disney doesn't occupy some minibar high above WDW in the Castle's apartment, but did he leave video/film instructions well into the future, to be played after his death? (Love the whole Hari Seldon thing going on here...) Via Snopes
• Still on Snopes: Is there a Nazi in the house? That is, the Grand Floridian?
• Incidents at Disney: Several categories but my fave is "negligence on the part of the guest". Who stands up on a moving ride? Darwin Winners. On average, 100 lawsuits are brought to Disney's door yearly. Via Wikipedia

Finally, in our comments: Tell me your worst Disney movie. I've Twittered this and will combine all the responses into a post soon.
