The Carousel we know today as a fun and classic family ride got its start in a quite different way. Toads’ Wild Ride, the Teacups, Dumbo and one of the World’s oldest attractions so to speak, Cinderella’s Golden Carousel, or as its known today as Prince Charming’s Regal Carrousel. Everyone wants to ride Soarin’ or Space Mountain, Rise of the Resistance, The Flight of Passage, Expedition Everest and the like, but seem to side-step the simple, yet classic attractions. The same goes for the attractions at the parks.

Rubber hose technique, antiquated and dated by today’s standards, makes a Mickey Mouse short what it should be, a classic! But as advanced as CG gets, which allows animated toons and movies to jump from the screen, almost as real-live characters, nothing can replace the simple, yet elegant cartoons of the early era. We all know that Walt loved progress and technology, and was frustrated many times because his ideas were beyond the tech science of the day. I love the classic Disney cartoon shorts and feature animations. I have been a Disney traditionalist my whole life.
