Located in EPCOT's Land Pavillion, Food Rocks was preceded by "Kitchen Kaberet".

Personally, I thought it was hilarious! However, the attraction closed in 2004 to make way for Soarin.

Among the attendees were John Lasseter, Tyra Banks, the Sprouse Brothers, John Stamos, Ricky Ullman, Aly & AJ, Julie Andrews, Leonard Maltin, the Goo Goo Dolls, Teri Hatcher, Jim Belushi, Jon Voight, Ray Bradbury, Richard Sherman, Dave Smith, X Atencio, Alice Davis, and of course the characters (including Mickey, Minnie, and Goofy, all in their snazzy 50th Anniversary outfits). Phew! That's quite a list! You can see coverage of the event here. (http://www.laughingplace.com/Lotion-View-78.asp)
