@@PalmSpringsLinguist All movies were released on a schedule, in their original form until the DVD's started, Vaulting was a new thing that started with millenials in the 2000's, because they couldn't handle quality as can be seen in Disney's low quality today. Zip pi di doo da is still one of the most well known and memable songs today.
Sleeping Beauty? An obscure movie? Shes one of the most iconic princesses and arguably more famous than snow white in the Orlando parks. That movie is everywhere and I haven't met someone who hasnt at least heard of that movie. Also thr Swiss Family Robinson tree house is still open in Disney World, FL and the country bear jamboree is still there as well, even though its now a soulless show w the bears singing famous disney songs in a "country" cover.
I haven’t seen the new Country Bears show, but I’ve always been a huge fan of the original. It annoyed me when they took out Fractured Folk Song years ago.
I was starting to get incredibly sad that these films could be considered obscure. They were the pillars of Disney's brand when I was growing up, and the thought of Frozen, Wish and Elemental pushing them aside both in the theatres and the parks is just depressing. The comments cheered me up, though. Looks like a lot of people don't consider these obscure.
@@jamesacken Obviously it is subjective. The reasoning behind the choices was that these are films people either have never seen or they are largely only known in 2024 because of their presence in the parks. I can totally relate to your comment and that I remember going to Disneyland one day and realizing that the music they were playing did not include any of the old-school Disney songs that I grew up with.
@@PalmSpringsLinguist That's fair, and I totally get it. I was glad to see that Disney+ at least offers most of these, though it would be nice if they were advertised a bit more. One of the movies that is becoming increasingly obscure is Fun and Fancy Free, and other than The Brave Little Tailor it's the best design for Mickey imo. You can still hear some of the more obscure tunes at the parks if you listen carefully: All Aboard the Mine Train, Main Street, and even Zipadee do Dah here and there. There is an old episode of Disneyland where you can even find the lyrics to All Aboard the Mine Train!
Thank you! Until doing the research for this video, I had NO idea that the Grand Canyon Diorama was based on a short Disney film. They don't talk about that in the train spiel.
Granted most haven't seen Swiss Family Robinson or Davy Crockett, but people certainly know them. Also, Song of the South is pretty much known by everyone because of the controversy, even if most have never seen it due to lack of accessibility. That all said, Sleeping Beauty is in no way obscure, it is extremely well known, and accessible. Additionally there have been 2 live action movies based on Maleficent that heavily feature Aurora. So, 7 obscure films, and 1 very well known one.
With its stylized, detailed backgrounds, memorable villain Maleficent, and climactic dragon battle, I think Sleeping Beauty is one of the best animated Disney movies ever.
I’m not sure Swiss Family Robinson is “obscure”. It’s a pretty well known film and considered a disney classic. It’s sad that disney has been dismantled and wokified by all the hyper offended sanctimonious milk toast minions who are destroying what made Disney the best of the best.
I only know Swiss Family Robinson because of the treehouse. It was only released in 1960 and rereleased in 1969. So this may be a generational difference. I was born in 1969, so I never had the chance to see it on the big screen. I’d love to though, especially since they’ve brought back the theme to the treehouse in Disneyland.
If you ask me, Song of the Sotheby's should have been an animated film in the silver age of Disney animation and making it Bobby Driscoll's final Disney film. As for his debut, you be the judge. And let's face it, the one by Universal Animation in 2006 was tamed, and I would say everyone in the Disney film should have a southern accent from Tennessee to Alabama. And besides the reason the film is in the UK is because there is an actor who is known for the BBC comedy classic Red Dwarf. Not to mention a studio that contains few of my Disney crushes.
That’s an interesting idea that Song of the South could have been purely animated. That likely would have avoided the protests from the NAACP back in the 1940s.
@@MichaelGanschowGreen The one I never knew about was the Grand Canyon. I’m 55 years old and have been riding the Disneyland Railroad my whole life never knowing the Grand Canyon Diorama was based on a 1958 short film. Thanks for watching!
No, I’m 55 years old and grew up 15 minutes away from Disneyland and worked at Disneyland in the 1980s and 1990s. Obviously, the topic is subjective, so your list might be different than mine. I chose movies that most people in 2024 have never seen. Movies that many people only know because of the attractions, not the movie itself.
Which of these Disney films that inspired Disneyland attractions have you never seen?
Not only have I heard of them all, I've seen them all in theaters in the US to include Song of the South which I still have on VHS
The sign of a true fan! It’s quite the bragging rights to say that you saw Grand Canyon in the theater!

Another good job like always 😀

@@PalmSpringsLinguist I’ve been on the Disneyland railroad so many times they don’t have it during that part of the diorama scene

I think the fact that there are two Maleficent movies is a good point!
With its stylized, detailed backgrounds, memorable villain Maleficent, and climactic dragon battle, I think Sleeping Beauty is one of the best animated Disney movies ever.
I love how the artwork in the film has a distinct style. Sleeping Beauty looks like no other Disney film.
Lullaby Land and Storybook Land Canal Boats connection, this I did not know. The rest I've read about before.
For me, the new learning was the Grand Canyon Diorama being based on a 1958 short Disney film. Thanks for watching!
When I was in college, I worked on the Keel Boats.
@@DanStark-w9x I worked canoes, Pirates, Mansion, Splash, and Bear Band, but never learned Keel Boats or Rafts.

@@PalmSpringsLinguist Well like I said, I a studio that contains a few Disney crushes I could name right now.
Odd, these were all favorites of mine…I guess it is the kids who don’t know them…

Sleeping Beauty is not a forgotten movie.
@@alexharrison808 I do think that sleeping beauty is probably the best known of the movies in this video
Obscure because this person was just born?

seen them all many times over, not really obscure by any means to most people over 40, under 40 though some definitely would be lesser seen.
I’m 55. The one I found the most obscure was the 1958 Grand Canyon. Thanks for watching!
