Movie Reviews of Walt Disney Treasures - Disneyland USA
Movie Review: The beginnings of Disneyland Park
Summary: 5 Stars
There is nothing disappointing about this multi disc collection with poster artwork cards of attractions included in set.
For one, not only does it have the original Art Linkletter hosting opening day at Disnayland with Mr. Disney giving his most memorable speech, "to all who visit this land, welcome", and having the mayor of Anaheim also give his opening day blessing speech, it also features the opening day parade, and guest stints by Fess Parker and Buddy Ebsen singing songs in Frontierland.
It also shows Mr. Walt Disney entering on the ET Ripley alongside Mickey Mouse.
Then it includes, on the same program opening day disc, the opening of Fantasyland, which is enough for any Disneyland fan to witness in full vintage form with announcements, and general fun riding the attractions with animated characters of the day.
The only downfall of this set is the Leonard Maltin intro, which I always bypass luckily with remote control.
The other discs are just as essential with the Disneyland tenth anniversary, which features Walt giving his tour with selected tour guide thru the beginnings of Pirates of the Caribbean post production miniature walk thru model, and his first look at the Haunted Mansion. This section includes a great performance with Disneyland characters in front of Sleeping Beauty castle performing a show, with the introduction of Mary Poppins floating in with show stopping magic along with chimeny sweeps.
The Disneyland After Dark disc includes Annette Funicello singing in Tomorrowland along with guest star, the Osmonds at early beginnings singing barbershop harmony, and a sing along from Disneyland guests at a great retro dance sequence.
This disc also includes Louis Armstrong and female guest singing and playing music on uproaring performance on the Mark Twain with Disneyland guests all huddled aboard to watch the once in lifetime musical act. The disc ends with fireworks around Rivers of America.
Walt Disney appears throughout Disneyland After Dark announcing to home audience while conducting signing autographs to bothersome guests.
There is also a great look at the early Adventureland entertainment including fire dance.
All these shows are in great detail and there are no shortcuts or trimmings.
The opening day discs are in black and white vintage footages, and both Disneyland After Dark & Anniversary discs are in color.
For true Disneyland historic fans. The Disneyland Story disc includes construction and the famous scene where Mr. Disney himself helps construction crew with physical labor and saying, "if you want things done right, sometimes you have to do it yourself." Legendary.
