Ahh Disneyland Fun (1991) is just so iconic, could watch the entire VHS everyday
The Paris version just isn't creepy enough, which is ironic considering this is Phantom Manor we're talking about here
I like the Paris version, but I also like the original.
Plus, they did the Phantom & Melanie Ravenswood wrong!
1. The Phantom isn't Melanie's groom, he's her wretched father brought back from the dead to seize control over her life...and thereafter, so him carrying her bridal style comes off as incestuously creepy in hindsight.
2. Melanie Ravenswood & the Beating-Heart Bride are two completely different iterations of the Attic Bride/Ghost Bride character concept, even if they share similarly tragic backstories before murderous sociopath Constance Hatchaway replaced Beating-Heart at the stateside Haunted Mansions. Yet, Disney erroneously made Melanie deliberately resemble Beating-Heart, likely on-purpose.
I agree and think the Disneyland and Magic Kingdom versions are better, however I will say that the finale is extremely creepy and graphic for a Disney ride.
It's cool to see the comparison! Though I must say I prefer Disneylands version because of the dancing Donald tail that Paris's version was missing. This scene used to legitimately frighten me as a kid, and it was always Donald being silly that got me through it!
The worst part of the 1990 version is the close-ups of the trees. Their yellow eyes are so unsettling and their arms!! "Shudder"
I would say Maleficent is my favorite part of the 1990 version
the 1991 version looks more professional to me, not in just the costumes but also in the way the characters act.
I think it was partly because they were trying to get this out quick to raise interest since the park wasn't doing too hot
The 1991 version has better choreography, and the 1993 version has creepier visuals.
But in term of which one's better, I think that depends on the viewer's preferences.
@@jayryman5310 I love both. They are a tie.
Maleficent was killing it.
1990 you must mean
I used to cry everytime the VHS ended and my mum would have to rewind it as quickly as our machine could manage to watch it again. Grim Grinning Ghosts was a big favourite of 4 year old me.
I did as well
Ah the original one is such a fave, that whole VHS was well-worn in my household :) I didn’t know about the Disneyland Paris version, love seeing the side-by-side!
OMG my literal Disney Sing-A-Long on old VHS tapes childhood right here! Oh the nolstagia 😭
Same!
weird how maleficent isn't green in the paris one. i do like how they added the phantom and melanie though.
In the DisneyLand Paris version as we can see, Captain Hook gets replaced by Jafar. Although Captain Hook still appears along with Mr. Smee in one of the songs from the DisneyLand Paris Sing-Along VHS.
I like that the Phantom Manor one actually has the Phantom and Melanie in it. I wish the Haunted Mansion one could have done something similiar, but they don't quite have characters that could have worked, I imagine - maybe the Hitchhiking Ghosts?
Also, I get a kick out of hearing the song in French and comparing the translated lyrics to the original.
Two glaring problems persist with the Phantom & the Bride's inclusion at Phantom Manor:
1. The Phantom isn't Melanie's groom, he's her wretched father brought back from the dead to seize control over her life...and thereafter, so him carrying her bridal style comes off as incestuously creepy in hindsight.
2. Melanie Ravenswood & the Beating-Heart Bride are two completely different iterations of the Attic Bride/Ghost Bride character concept, even if they share similarly tragic backstories before murderous sociopath Constance Hatchaway replaced Beating-Heart at the stateside Haunted Mansions. Yet, Disney erroneously made Melanie deliberately resemble Beating-Heart, likely on-purpose.
Mabye have some villain that fitting with the rise. But I will say I like the costume to the ghost hosts. Also the main singing is a great singing.
It's Comparison Time!
This was awesome.
Thanks Dan!
awesome i liked when donald scared the villains
Sora should say "Great Job, Donald".
@@matthewsoares9880 Daisy duck ( Wakes up) Huh wha.. what happened?
Clarice( Disney): am I dreaming?
Minnie mouse: oh my!
Donald duck: I saved you!
Wait just a minute, Disneyland Fun - Disney's Sing Along Songs was released on August 14, 1990, which was the Anahiem Theme Park's 35th Anniversary at that time, NOT 1991
If Disney wanted to make a new video for “Grim Grinning Ghosts”, they should do it in Disney World for 2020 and here are some suggestions:
1. Kids wandering what happens at The Haunted Mansion at night
2. Dr. Facilier(aka The Phantom) awakening the trees and sending out his shadow spirits while opening the mansion
3. The Old Hag appearing behind the trees(Disney Land version)
4. Cruella De Ville, Big Bad Wolf, Capt. Hook, and Queen Of Hearts following together at the mansion
5. Donald disguised as a ghost scaring the trees and backs up towards the fountain while Ursula comes out and scares him.
6. Scenes from Haunted Mansion
7. Maleficent appearing(Disneyland version) and Jafar arriving(Disneyland Paris version)
8. All the villains gathering together before Facilier appears and transforms into his shadow disguise to scare everyone
9. The villains dancing and paying the fee for the funeral before saying, “Good-bye!”
10. The villains and Donald fading away and the trees standing still(Disney Land version)
11. The gates closing
12. The kids going to The Haunted Mansion
Personally, I think Fall 2021 would be better because that is when Disney World turns 50. I think Stromboli would be better than the Queen of Hearts. I feel that there are better choices than Cruella DeVil and Ursula.
Add Evil Queen and Frollo too!
Just so long as you keep Donald Duck in the cheap Halloween costume, I'll watch it! XD
@@winonaamanda92 I think Frollo and Stromboli would be perfect for this. I wouldn't have Cruelly DeVil and the Queen of Hearts in this. They just wouldn't fit well I feel.
Ok. I agree with all these points, but I would alter a few things. On point 4, I would have Claude Frollo, Big Bad Wolf, Captain Hook, and Stromboli. I think you have a good idea with point 5, but am unsure of how that could be pulled off. Would there be enough time to fit all that stuff in that part? Would a combo of both versions work? I kind of don't like the idea of Donald scaring the trees because I find the trees scarier and it seems wierd that Ursula scares him from the fountain when they should be afraid of him like in the Paris Version. To be honest, I don't think Ursula would work well because she is a sea creature and would stick out from the others. I kind of think I'd like Yzma or Hades in the Donald scene, but how could a character be worked into that part with Donald? I also am not sure the DisneyWorld mansion has the space or the environment to do this like the Disneyland exterior does.
Still love the 1991 one. But heck. Didn't even know there was a different version!! It's so fascinating to see what they did!
English translation of the French lyrics:
Quand les portes craquent au fond de la crypte
_When the doors slam at the back of the crypt_
Les squelletes jouent des castagnettes
_The skeletons play castanets_
Les revenants bons vivant
_The spooks are well alive_
Se balancent en chantant
_(They) are swaying and singing_
Dans le joyeux royaume des fantomes
_In the happy kingdom of ghosts_
Ils sont pleins d'esprit tous ces esprits là
_They are full of spirit, all these spirits_
Ils viennent sans bruit s'assoire pres de toi
_They quietly come and sit next to you_
Il recoulent sous leur cagoules
_They sink back under their hoods_
ça te donne la chair de poule
_It gives you goosebumps_
Dans le joyeux royaume des fantomes
_In the happy kingdom of ghosts_
A la mi-carème, ils chantent un requiem
_In mid-Lent, they sing a requiem_
C'est encore un stratagème
_It is still a stratagem_
Ce petit air de terreur
_This small air of terror_
Qui te fais hurler d'horreur
_That makes you scream in horror_
Quand la lune s'allume à l'heure de minuit
_When the moon lights up at midnight_
De la brume, ils sortent sans bruit
_From the mist, they come out silently_
En habits de carnaval
_In carnival outfits_
Chaque nuit, ils donnent un bal
_Every night, they have a ball_
Dans le joyeux royaume des fantomes
_In the happy kingdom of ghosts_
Si vous voulez venir danser aussi
_If you want to come to dance too_
Le ticket d'entrée n'est jamais gratuit
_The entrance ticket is never free_
Il faut payer de sa vie
_You have to pay with your life_
C'est pour la paix des esprits
_It's for the peace of the spirits_
Venez danser en notre compagnie
_Come dance in our company_
PS:
1) _Venez danser en notre compagnie_ can also be translated as "come dance with us." I'm no expert so this translation is far from perfect. Corrections are welcome.
2) Stratagem = a plan or scheme, especially one used to outwit an opponent or achieve an end.
The kids at the end are like what the fudge just happened
Mickey mouse: well you got brainwashed by the villains to play with the villain kids also know as the Disney chills official and fanmade books goosebumps creeped out the haunting hour are you afraid of the dark and the fear street kids.
You are hitting me in all the right spots right now. If there was anything I wish there was behind the scenes footage of.
Let’s Go to Disneyland Paris was released in English in the UK.
To me it mostly comes down to the villains that they use. One thing the remake has going for it, is including Jafar in place of Captain Hook. I think Jafar is easily a more terrifying villain than Hook. Granted the original came out before Aladdin so Jafar was not accessible at the time. Including Maleficent and Snow White's Queen in her witch form in both versions was a nice touch but it's weird how Maleficent looks more like she does in the movie in the original than in the remake but for Snow White's Queen it's the other way around. I always thought The Big Bad Wolf was a weird choice to put in the group of villains, maybe if the remake had come out a few years later they could have put Scar in his place even though no Lion King characters outside of Timon and Rafiki have ever appeared as meet and greet characters in Disney parks. Which I also found weird, how come Pluto can walk around on two legs but they can't?
Yeah I feel like the characters in Disneyland Fun look much better, Maleficent in particular. The Paris one looks...almost like it's supposed to be a sexy version. It's weird. I prefer the original Evil Queen as well as I think that costume looks scarier. In terms of the wolf, that's the only character my 3yo is afraid of in the DLF video so I dunno! Maybe he's scarier than you think!
Also you've given me a mental image of Lion King characters walking around on their hind legs like Pluto. Thanks I hate it.
If you'll recall, Madame Leota summons all ghoulies and creeps and witches and wizards and creatures of the night to the Haunted Mansion - so the Haunted Mansion is the denizen of all Disney Villains, including Jafar, Hook, and BB Wolf ... and even Donald who is the most hot-tempered and mischievous of the original Disney gang.
@@victoriousone4867 I feel that neither Old Hag's are perfect. I feel that they should use the Old Hag 1990 costume but make the face the color of the Paris version and the hair pure white. I do wish the California Maleficent had the Bat Wings and had better defined lines on the horns.
I would say another thing the Paris version does better is more noise. You can hear cackling during the first verse with the Old Hag and you get more howling after the Big Bad Wolf says boo.
Oh another thing Paris does better is the transition from the kids to the mansion at night. I like how it doesn't start right after the girl is done thinking.
DANG THE MEMORIES!!! I loved these when I was little!
« En route pour Disneyland Paris » I’ve spent days watching this VHS during my childhood and it’s very positive to see that you’re actually caring about the non-american resorts. The story of Phantom Manor and all the secrets and details laid throughout the house, its garden, Boot Hill and the rest of Frontierland are passionating and I hope you will talk about these in a later video. « Le Joyeux Royaume des Fantômes » is also the only translation in french of Grin Grinning Ghosts I’ve ever heard, and I doubt that another one even exists, because in the ride the song is sung by the busts but it’s the original lyrics.
CORRECTION: The Haunted Mansion - "Grim Grinning Ghosts" from Disney's Sing Along Songs: "Disneyland Fun" was originally released in the year 1990 for VHS, NOT the year 1991, but they did another rereleased on VHS in 1994 and another one on DVD in 2005 to celebrate Disneyland's 50th Anniversary. However, Disney's Sing Along Songs: "Let's Go To Disneyland Paris" released the original version in French on VHS in 1993, but they did another rereleased on VHS in 1997 & this time, in American English. On the other hand, they did another rereleased on DVD in 2005 along with Disneyland's 50th Anniversary, but once you press the French language on their Settings Menu: Languages & Subtitles, it will take you to "Let's Go To Disneyland Paris."
Anyone here was never, ever scared of this song as a kid but instead totally loved it?
Memories! I loved Disneyland Fun(still kinda do), I used to watch it every morning as a kid! It’s my favorite Disney Sing-Along-Songs! ^~^
I had so many of these videos when I was a kid. Ah the nostalgia! It's the closest I could ever get ta going ta a Disney park because we can't afford it.
1:57 1:58 1:59 2:00 2:01 2:02 2:03 2:04 2:05 2:06 2:07 2:08 2:09 2:10 2:11 2:12 2:13 2:14 2:15 2:16 2:17 2:18 2:19 2:20 2:21 2:22 2:23
I had the English version of the Disneyland Paris one on VHS whilst growing up, and that basically defined my childhood haha! It would be amazing if you could do more of these side by side comparisons! (if you haven't already) :)
WAIT THERE WERE DIFFERENT VERSIONS?! I only know the Disneyland Fun Version. But the Paris one just seems so lacking in comparison
Check out the story of the Phantom Manor. You might find it interesting and why the Disneyland Paris version of this video included those two eerie characters.
Okay, America won overall with its acting, editing, set variation, and costumes. Take notes live action Maleficent, your counterpart here may be chewing the scenery, but at least she's green. Still, regardless of which one you prefer, I'm sure we can all agree that these are the creepiest trees since Evil Dead. I doubt even the Lorax would wanna prefer these petrified pines. Between that and those old fruit gummy commercials, what is it with Hollywood's weird obsessions of making us scared of trees?
Disneyland Paris is the better one, characters are more realistic and not cartoony
I didn't know there was a Disneyland Paris version. Now I gotta watch that.
I hate to correct you, but Disneyland Fun was released in 1990.
I only ever watched Paris when i was little, never even knew about Disneyland fun until i got older, looking at them now, I still think Paris is more creepier than the Disney fun
MORE PLEASE I LOVE THIS!!!!!
Okay, it’s quite clear that the DisneyLand Paris video had the more convincing creep factor!
Especially with Melanie and the Phantom.
Phew. I just wanted to make sure that this wasn’t some fever dream or hallucination I had as a kid. Cause I distinctly remember this.
What do you mean
Found this to be creepy as a child but as an adult, I vibe with them. If they ever performed this for some reason in a Disney park, I’d hop in
Thanks
I’M GOING GHOST!
Is that Thurl Ravenscroft singing this song the guy who sang the grinch
schemer1991 yes
Very nicely done. I like the side by side great job like 196
Do more of these
You just unlocked a memory I forgot I have 😂😂😂
You know what’s creepy? I watched the Disneyland Fun GGG like an hour before this video was uploaded.
Yeah, me too! what a creepy yet amazing coincidence!
Well gone! Thank you.
1:38-1:58 best part
I love this!
"Disneyland fun" was better, but when all the vilains dance together at the end "lets go to disneyland paris" was better
i like the haunted mansion phantom manor and mystic manor!
Actually, according to Wikipedia, the English version was in 1990, but close though.
How old were you when you realized there were two versions of this video?
Me: I am today years old
paris video is a lot more playful
While Disneyand Fun had great choreography, Paris had the creepier visuals.
Also Disneyland Fun was released in 1990 not 91
Ok then
🇫🇷
Similar to "Scooby-Doo"
Rob island
The Disneyland fun version is the one I grew up with I like a lot of parts of it but the Visuals in the Disneyland Paris version are really cool,better and way scarier it’s hard to decide
40th like I love it and I shared
It's Good to be Bad
2:01
2:02
1:08
0:45
I kind of like Paris better lol
91 version is better
While the two ghosts sitting on the chandelier in the Disneyland always messed with me as a kid, the fact that they put the finale in the Disneyland Paris version instead of just the first half of the ride is kind of crazy to me and makes me think that a lot of kids had nightmares.
FIRST DAN... PIN ME... I'M FIRST
Also this video was..... Interesting
