My first post of September! It’s hard to believe that now I’m in 7th grade and that next year I’ll be 13 years old. Also, due to class throughout most of the week days, for now I’ll do posts ONLY on the weekends.
First, here are some summarized Lilo and Stitch trailers:
Beauty and the Beast: Belle and Beast begin their ballroom dance sequence as normal. But the the camera pans to the angels on the ceiling, Stitch is seen crawling across the painting. Watching Belle and Beast, he crawls onto the chandelier, which breaks and falls. Beast notices, dives, and pulls Belle with him out of the harm’s way while the chandelier smashes on the ballroom floor behind them. The moment ruined, Belle announces she will head up to her room. As she departs, Stitch wolf whistles after her, to which she replies indignantly, “Get your own movie!”
The Little Mermaid: Ariel is sitting on a rock and singing the reprise of “Part of Your World”, when suddenly, a huge wave (which is being ridden by Stitch on a surfboard) runs up and dumps on her, causing her to dump off the rock. As the wave settles, Ariel pops up and throughs a starfish at Stitch, saying “I was singing here!”
Aladdin: Aladdin and Jasmine are singing “A Whole New World” (in which Jasmine is singing her first part), but then are interrupted by Stitch flying in his red cruiser. Stitch flirts with Jasmine, and then Jasmine accidentally gets onto the cruiser, and the cruiser drives off, leaving Aladdin sitting alone on the magic carpet, in which he yells at Stitch to “Get your own movie!”
The Lion King: There are two different versions of this commercial. In one of them, clips of past disney classics are shown (Beauty and the Beast, Snow White, Bambi, Tarzan, The Little Mermaid, and Aladdin to be exact). During the past shown clips, an off-screen voice over says, “For over 70 years, the Walt Disney studios has won the hearts of audiences with the most enchanting, delightful, and lovable characters the world had ever known. On June 21st, the tradition….”, and then is suddenly cut off as Rafiki thrusts Stitch into the air in the manner of the presentation ceremony of the original film. The animals then halt still with confusion. A young, hairless warthog (who is not Pumbaa) cries out “Hey, that’s not Simba!”, and Rafiki notices. All the animals get scared and flee, leaving Stitch sitting alone on Pride Rock. Stitch clears his throat and roars unconvincingly. In the other commercial, the song “Circle of Life” plays, but is coming to an end. Rafiki then raises Stitch into the air on the last note. The rest of the parody plays out mostly like the previous one, except that in THIS commercial, Timon (who is sitting on Pumbaa’s back) is the one who yells, “Hey, that’s not Simba!”
I even posted a video onto this post that has all 5 commercials. It is right down below.
Okay, here’s the next thing:
There have been two covers of “A Whole New World”: one by Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson, and the other by Peter Andre and Katie Price. Peter and Katie are actually from England.
Down below is a video of Nick and Jessica’s version, and a lyric video of Peter and Katie’s version. Yes, I know, it would have been cooler if there was a live action video, but it was the closest thing I could find. Though, at least the lyrics are shown in case any of you guys wanted to record it in the future.
Both Nick and Jessica and Peter and Katie were actually married at the time these were recorded, just like Aladdin and Jasmine are now. BUT…. Nick and Jessica separated near the end of 2005, and divorced the year after. Peter and Katie also separated and divorced in 2009.
But I like these two couples. Nick and Jessica did their version on the DisneyMania 3 CD. Peter and Katie actually made “A Whole New World” an album, not just one single. Look the album’s songs up on the internet if you want to hear them. Both couples also had their own TV series during their marriages: Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica, and Katie & Peter. Actually, Katie & Peter was a franchise (mostly being reality shows). How interesting is that?
Okay, here’s the 3rd thing:
In the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse christmas episode, “Mickey Saves Santa”, Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck must follow Mrs. Claus to MissleToe Mountain in order to rescue her husband. They take the ToonPlane. On the way, they use a headlight to spot Professor Von Drake and they manage to get out of his way. Unfortunately, Donald loses his christmas list and the plane runs out of gas. The plane lands safely at the North Pole.
While they are riding the plane, Donald wears a pilot’s cap and an orange scarf. Mickey wears goggles and a green scarf. Unlike Donald (who has his goggles up for the whole time), Mickey’s eyes are covered by his goggles.
Mickey’s goggles are already down when he is first shown wearing his pilot gear. It isn’t until that the plane has landed and that they are looking for MissleToe Mountain that Mickey doffs his goggles up onto his forehead.
I even added a video of the episode down below. The scenes with the plane stuff are at 7:37-10:52, and the scene were Mickey doffs his goggles is at 11:08.
Okay, here’s the last thing:
In January of this year, several of the 8th graders went on a trip to the Walt Disney and Seaworld resorts in Orlando. But it also ENDED that year. One reason for that is only a small, certain amount of 8th graders went.
Well, then you’d probably guess we could just go on a family vacation there. But for now, this is unlikely since my family’s just not into traveling to big, huge, and packed resorts these days. But you never know.
That’s the end of this post, and I’ll write again next weekend (hopefully).
