Clip of Daphne and Conrad banner discussion!

 Hey guys! I’m back with another short post, but I found a new clip of Daphne and seemingly an extra clip of Conrad, so I thought I’d share my findings! As usual, all videos can either be found here or on the World Chorus playlist on YouTube! I also have a random discussion about Disneyland Paris’s Small World banners, since I find their artistic direction fascinating.

I slowed down the video so audio warning for it being a little loud and distorted, but it was designed to show the white sleeve which would likely belong to Conrad, as well as a subtle pattern of movement I spotted from afar of Daphne dancing, it looks as if she's striking a pose, though of course the clip is old and it isn't easy to see.


Clip of Daphne and Conrad:





As for the banners, I want to just discuss the way the queue has changed over the years, and the same can be seen in the decor section of the archive when it comes to the outside of World Chorus. Specifically, it’s fun to see how they change with the different branding with France Telecom, and presumably when they switched it was also the time when World Chorus went from white to colourful, as far as I can tell from old photos and videos. They used to depict the kids in much smaller ways surrounded by clouds, as this was similar to the logo used by France Telecom at the time, as shown below.


As shown, the pin also utilised the same shape language


Then, we switched to the banners I grew up with, which were more colourful, and featured the company’s new logo at the bottom of each banner in the middle.


And then, when sponsorship ended, they kept the same design but merely removed the logo, making a subtle change to remove the sponsorship.


Not much else, but this cart is cute! (I don’t know what it sold though haha!)


As always, send anything through my email, and since today is the 1 year anniversary of my project (alongside aeronautics_comics) of Fantasia: Symphony Of Sorcerers, why don't you give it a read? :) (https://fantasiasymphonyofsorcerersau.blogspot.com/)


I also recommend watching this video since it made me cry like a baby:

(Me and Aero imagined Jules is singing at the end, which made me cry even more hahaha)


And as a tribute, I did this arrangement of it's a small world on flat.io. I'm not amazing at composing and such but I'm trying to improve, so any support is appreciated!

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...
