Theorycrafting and small updates!

Hey everyone! It’s nice to be back on the archive again, I’ve been blown away by the support it’s getting recently, and

freaked out a ton when I saw my video and the archive itself popping up on google!

You have no idea how much this means to me, being able to share such a special place with all of you

and document 4 (coming up to 5!) years of research is such a privilege that I never dreamed I’d be able to do when I started this in

2020.

Thank you all, really.

I have some new images and information for you all today, so here goes!

Theories and confirmations on some uncertainties!

After spending around an hour scrubbing through the World Chorus playlist at 0.25x speed (you can find it on my YouTube channel, MarionetteAngie),

I found out that some previously unanswered questions have already been answered, I just didn’t notice yet! So, here’s some clarification about who resides in each building!

(And how I took notes hehe)

So, our building roundup:

  1. Eiffel Tower- The Conductor Doll (x1)

  2. Big Ben: Victoria and Frisky the Cat (x1)

  3. Russia: Alexandra and Alberto (x2)

  4. Sphinx and Blue Building: Moses and Friends (x2)

  5. Japan and (maybe) China: Makoto and Diego (x2)

  6. Greek temple: Conductor and Choir (x1)

  7. Irish Castle: Leonardo and Hahn (x1)

  8. Bell Tower and Windmill: Julia and Spot (x2)

  9. Scottish Castle: Abigail and Adrian (x1)

  10. Skyscraper: Lucky and Daphne (x1 at least, maybe x2 on either side)

  11. Big castle: Conrad and Ken (x1)

  12. Torre de Belem and small building: Miguel and Charlotte (x2)

  13. Little rainforest hut: Hahn and Feathers and Friends (x1)

  14. Little building with window: Arthur and Pascal (x1)

  15. Little building with clock and Leaning Tower of Pisa: Lorenzo and Olivia (x2)

Total animations in windows (including the animatronic)- approximately 22!


I just realised in my notes I wrote Lorenzo as Leonardo, well I know what I meant haha! XD

Now, I figured out Julia and Lorenzo’s second locations by being eagle-eyed, and can confirm that the Leaning Tower of Pisa DID have animation in it!

The outlines of both buildings are accurately shaped, plus in an old video of Lorenzo I actually saw (at a low speed) the camera move toward the Leaning Tower and look inside the window, thus proving my theory!

As for Julia, it’s a bit more speculative, but since windmills are associated with the Netherlands and the outline matches, plus this scene is a reverse of the one inside the Bell Tower, I can say it’s a safe bet!

Now as for my other notes, I have been holding something pretty big back, but I’m hoping it’ll be up soon, though you might be able to guess from the notes I’ve made!

However, I also was just kinda jotting down my thoughts as I was going through the videos, such as how I’ve noticed someone disliking my World Chorus content on YouTube, which is a bit annoying.

As I always say, any support you give the archive and my work is greatly appreciated, whether it be here, Instagram, YouTube or any other projects or stories,

all of it means so much to me and I am genuinely so grateful for this opportunity to be your archivist.

Thank you for everything, and please share the archive wherever you can. I really want it to succeed, and I’d never have been able to achieve what I have so far without you all! <3

The Buildings of World Chorus!

Image
Overview These are images of the buildings inside World Chorus. The walls of the attraction were decorated in yellow, purple, pink and orange, and had handrails to guide people and also avoid them getting too close to the buildings and characters inside, likely to keep illusions and ensure there was no damage. The room was framed to hide the lighting through the use of several orange clouds, which also gave the appearance of a spiral, and the entire room gave the idea of enlarging, as the animation became progressively more and more advanced as the buildings increased in scale and size. GRRRRRR >:/// Darn you protection, but luckily there’s like nothing useful on here haha The Flag The attraction’s flag boasted the famous slogan, alongside the sponsorship detail, to show guests this was a continuation of the ride they had just been on, in a walkthrough experience! The Eiffel Tower The Eiffel Tower held the only animatronic in the entire room- a small conductor doll with pale skin, b...

A critique of a 20-year-old paper by Laudan Nooshin (Circumnavigation with a Difference? Music, Representation and the Disney Experience: It’s A Small, Small World)

Image
Hey guys! This is a slightly different type of post to usual, but a while ago I stumbled on an academic paper called ‘Circumnavigation with a Difference? Music, Representation and the Disney Experience: It’s A Small, Small World’, and as an it’s a small world enthusiast, I wanted to look into the paper and what it might be talking about. However, I think Nooshin fundamentally misses the purpose for which the ride is created. Whilst I can’t claim to be an authority on Orientalism or very well versed in music theory, I want to create a counter-argument for Nooshin’s claim based on the message that the Disneyland Paris version of it’s a small world and the park as a whole aims to share, and reveal the idea that the ride’s simplicity of nature is what makes it so beautiful, alongside how the park humanises the ‘other’ and encourages us to explore perspectives beyond our own. This is neither an essay (mostly) nor an attack, merely just someone sharing their thoughts. And a fun fact, this pa...
