A "Gassy" AAQ card to MBabe for correctly identifying Gulp Gas.

and a Dole Whip to carpe and MasterG for seconding that will go great with the K. Kremes

 

[Pirate Mickey]

Does he get caught in a bee hive? or some honey?

 

[carpedm]

You got it Pirate Mickey.

Why a rabbit would be attracted to honey is beyond me. Maybe we should call him Brer Winnie now.

Sticky AAQ to Pirate Mickey

 

[DisneyBen]

One-of-a-Kind AAQ cards to Kali and MCM - that road sign is located in front of Sid Cahuenga's right as you enter MGM. Think we need a question, guys.

Thanks for the Krispy Kremes, Master Grayson!!!

 

[Pirate Mickey]

Here's one for you high-brow dis'ers...


What book was the basis for Mr. Toad's Wild Ride?

 

[MickeyBabe]

Hey Pirate, I'll trade you my Stinky AAQ for your honey soaked Sticky AAQ

We could use another question though, go for it Pirate....

 

[Pirate Mickey]

A Pitcher of margs??? Woohooo!!!

I'll need some CC'ers to help with this one...


OK, another question...

What was the first animated feature drawn primarily at Disney-MGM Studios?

 

[phowell13]

Mulan - originally it was supposed to be entirely done at Florida but then Hercules was backed up and they had to do more work with that, thus requiring California to help out with Mulan.

 

[Master Grayson]

Pirate..........................

Was it Mulan?

 

[Pirate Mickey]

An animated AAQ card to Pam. MasterG you were sooooo close.

Yes, Mulan is correct.

Pam, you're up!!

 

[phowell13]

Thanks PM.

Where did the concept for the Disney MGM Studios originate?

Since it is almost noon, lets head over to BTMRR for the Wildest Ride in the Wilderness. I'll bring some Emu legs back to the CC

 

[carpedm]

Well, the official company line is:

The idea for a park based on favorite movie themes originated with Walt Disney more than 40 years ago when "backlot tours" were limited to a privileged few. He first considered a park on his own backlot, then looked across the river from the Disney Studios in Burbank on land adjacent to Griffith Park. Lack of enough land combined with potential traffic problems caused him to look elsewhere; namely, Anaheim. The result was Disneyland. In the mid '80s, a greatly expanded production schedule for the Walt Disney Company demanded more facilities. Rather than buy expensive land in California, the company realized it had plenty of land in Florida and the opportunity to combine its new production facilities with a chance for Walt Disney World guests to see behind the scenes of movie and television production.

However, the more cynical reason for the park was to offset Universal's theme park in Florida, which had used the movie-based themepark concept for years in California.

 

[Pirate Mickey]

I'll second carpedm's cynical reason....

 

[phowell13]

I think carpedm deserves an added bonus skeptical AAQ card for that.
I had read they initially wanted to add a pavillion at Epcot but realized they had so many ideas they made it into its own park. (Along the lines of Living Seas to combat Sea World.)

I like the cynical answer much better. Refreshingly honest.
