I can only imagine what was going through Disney legend and Imagineer Marc Davis’ head as he designed this legendary attraction- for the first time in his career he was doing something without any input from Walt Disney; as the first project where he was “on his own” one can only imagine what sorts of things he ran through his head as he tried to figure out what would work and what didn’t
the "home on the range" segment is my favorite. it was beautifully staged with the sky changing colors,and the little animals popping up during the song. this video of it is nice,but seeing it live was breathtaking.
@@nathangonzalez4926 Eh, they don't bother me. I like how they (aside from the hosts of the show) introduce each era of music in their themed outfits and song choices from that era.
These audio animatronics were featured in America, sings and were brought to splash Mountain one of my favorite rides ever that I miss so much I really hope all of these audio animatronics can be featured in liberty square Disney should bring this back
This was one of my favorite attractions. Loved America Sings. Was disappointing when they closed it. There really was no reason for that since they didn’t replace that space with any worthy attraction since.
@fallspeed that is what they tell the public to cover their bad decisions but the people who actually worked the ride say it was still popular until the end .. and people asked about it often after it closed ..
Not bad, since splash mountain is closed, but they gotta put safety for some employees, like you know…. Like what happened last time… R.I.P to Debbie. (Just to say yes, I love America Sings!)
This rules big time. It’s so sad that America Sings isn’t available for a lot of guests to see at Disneyland anymore. In fact, EVERYONE is experiencing plenty of nostalgia back when the world was a nice place to live in before homelessness and plenty of other problems occurred as we know today.😿
The part when the dog is singing "Who Shot That Hole In My Sombrero", that is a different version than the original recording. Different lyrics at the end and different singer.
The audio is the original version (with the Mexican accent and the line about “because I kiss his wife”). The video is newer and shows him singing the edited song (with a different accent and ending line). This video is a mashup of the two. The original version of this video with the updated words is also on TH-cam.
fun fact the ride and the country bear jamboree where going to be a put in the same area in a tomorrow land area in the 1970s after Marc Davis and his team did the art drawings too to be sure again
That’s interesting! Did you know that all of these Audio Animatronics from America Sings finally made it to Splash ⛰ 32 years ago? Please watch it on TH-cam which is uploaded by Alex the Historian.
America Sings probably would of fit more in Critter Country just like The Country Bears, but I suppose they couldn't build a theater like the Carousel of Progresses in Critter Country and just decided to move COP to Disney World and put America Sings in that theater.
@Garbage Guy What is an actuator? I hate to spoil the magic for you, but you get to hear about how Audio Animatronics work if you watch a video about it. Eric Boardman hosts the whole thing on TH-cam which was made in the ‘80s. 💛

They used all the America sings audio animatronics to be brought to splash Mountain. I really hope that they will reuse all the audio animatronics from America sings AKA splash Mountain. To a new show or a new ride in both Disney World and Disneyland. That’s what I’m hoping for.
all but two of them. two of the geese audio animatronics were stripped of their skin and turned into the G29T and G24T labor droids seen in the 2nd half of the star tours queue (just before you reach the boarding area).

To tell you the truth, I think it sounds distracting with the dubbed audio because the soundtrack version and the show versions of the audio are not the same. For instance, in the Dixie song, the soundtrack has a drumline, but in the show, it has a banjo line. Also, the voices in the Polly Wolly Doodle and Sombrero segments are different, and the Hound Dog soundtrack has a piano line, but the show instead has a acoustic rock guitar line. The are major differences in the soundtrack version vs. The show version.
@@Tomy8853 can't we just like enjoy the ride itself? i get it, it was a horrible tragedy but like, this isn't about that. not everything about this ride has to be depressing and shocking and tragic.
That one's easy. It's the 1971 song by Three Dog Night- Joy to the World written by Hoyt Axton. I think that's why they have a bullfrog playing in the band as the first line of the song is: "Jeremiah was a bullfrog"@@emilianolopez4303
Actually, This is the old version of the song. It was changed for the show cause a committee said the Mexican voice was too "stereotypical" and they changed it to a Texas accent instead.
This is great! It sounds so crisp
i guess Im kinda off topic but do anyone know of a good website to watch newly released movies online ?
Like the bones of that girl that got broken, when she was behind the wall being crushed by 2 sides, while this happy music was playing.

The bird that sings hound dog is such an impressive animatronic
It really is! Especially for 1974

For me it's the Yankee Doodle bits and the Kentucky Home song.

My first time watching this. How I feel such nostalgia for old Disney, even though I am only 23. This was super cute.

They still exist in Star Tours. But they were turned into robots, but their skeleton is about the same.
