Huzzah!

     Disneyland officially reopens today! I've been to Walt Disney World a couple of times in my life, but only once to Disneyland... well... so far! 

     While I enjoyed pretty much all the classic attractions, (Pirates of the Caribbean, it's a small world, etc.) the one that stood out as my absolute favorite was one that I don't hear talked about too often and certainly deserves a lot of praise! I'm referring to Storytelling at the Royal Theatre! For anyone who might not be aware, this attraction is located in the small Fantasy Faire section in an open air theater just to the left of Sleeping Beauty Castle. Each show is a 20 minute retelling of a famous Disney fairy tale (usually Tangled or Beauty and the Beast) but done so in fast-paced vaudeville fashion by the "loquacious lovers of legend and lore..." Well, here. I'll just show you.

     I love this thing. You go in thinking it's just a quick recap of these classics that we've all seen a million times, but then you quickly realize it's waaaay more! There's gags, live piano, gags, the kind of obscure references that make you feel good when you notice, and all performed live by a small cast of incredibly talented people several times a day! And since I like to draw the things that I love, here's some Park Pals I made for the attraction.





     I doubt that this show will be back when the park reopens, but hopefully the curtain will be going up for these versatile viscounts again... and soon!

Family is the Greatest Footstool of All!

     I’m really going to miss the DuckTales reboot. It’d be really easy to complain that such a great show was canceled after only three seasons, but instead I guess I’ll just focus on how great those three seasons were.
 
     In a world that feels like we get waaay more reboots and remakes than we do original content, it’s refreshing to have a show like DuckTales that’s somehow both! Here’s hoping that we’ll get a spinoff or two that keeps the wheels turning on this Duckverse gold mine that Disney is just sitting on.
