The piece that creeped me out the most was the glitchy Ariel, and I don't even know why. It's just so eerie and unsettling to me.
I don't understand why she's like that tho
@@Jai05 probably to add onto the distortion of the entire place. Nah, my biggest question is how on earth did the sculptor managed to pull off that effect because that statue is pretty cool to be honest. Least to me. I legit didn't know it was a statue at all at first, rather a really well done Photoshop job.
Because she is a disney character. And disney characters are perceived as innocent, fun, and beautiful. However when you contort that image, you are also contorting the subliminal links within your mind. A lot of artwork is straightforward. But I like the kind of artwork that has more of a psychological aspect.
I’d love for this to reopen again. It’s a shame it was only temporary :(
tbh i find dismaland an intriguing concept, depressing but a really cool idea
I don't understand why people call it ugly and hate on it? it's brilliant, amazing and creative! Banksy is a genius, but well, not everyone is open mind, I see 😒
It's really not, it's about as creative as a 13 year old girl's edgy suicide squad fanfiction. Literally anyone could do something this pretentious.
smegel limes everybody has their own persuasion of art, I find it amazing, you find it awful, I'll not try to change your point of view on that.
gabounex I agree. This is an absolutely stunning piece of art. It's something no one has ever thought of doing and makes one thing in life better. And that thing is inspiration. Even there's a movie set for it
>This is what hipsters actually believe
smegel limes yeah, yeah whatever.
wish this wouldve opened once a year, would do anything to see the art, banksy is an inspiration
Halloween
This is brilliant. Disneyland is a manufactured happy place showing the artificial wonders of the world. Dismaland is the reality that is facing our very fractured world. And it's a huge wake up call for the everybody!
+no hassle You're right, no one should be happy, we should all be mentally ill TH-cam commenters who contribute nothing to society.
+David Richard So that's not at all what he just said.
+David Richard the irony is strong here
bonging Dude it isn't pretentious at all. It's Banksy. It's what he does. The idea of collating his and other Artists work is a great big fuck you to the Elite and their ilk. It's not meant to be a fun and happy place. If you want nice happy parks (I like them too) that's also fine. There are plenty of those including Alton Towers and Disney's very own DisneyLand. It's okay to be optimistic and to look at the good, but you also have to show the not so good. It's called balance my friend. Keep that in mind.
+bonging You would wonder on how many people don't think they are "super obvious social issues".
I would love to see that done in the center of the United States. That is the most outstanding art show I have ever seen! Thanks you for sharing!
Watching in may 2023 and “all that’s left is the media and police” gave me chills!
The fact that an outdated art piece about Princess Diana will "draw furious, offended headlines", and I'm sure it will, shows the media's warped priorities. Refugees are dying today, but newspapers would rather write about Diana.
+Alex Charlton
Honestly connected that to Diana instantly, his art has so much effect on people. Surprising the boat piece with refugees hasn't been in the headlines, we should be more aware these things are actually happening. This park should be better publicized better, there is a strong message to be spread. It will cause outrage, i'm certain of it, a little controversy will do us no harm. We need to open our eyes to this harsh reality that many innocent people are suffering in.
I agree that the media is "warped", couldn't have put it better myself.
Who is princess Diana?
@@iks2515 how old are you?
They are warped and sadly most of the newspapers and the media are owned by the right, rich and powerful people who know that the real issues, the humanist issues, need to be hidden or dumbed down from us all otherwise the masses revolt. For me dismaland really represented capitalism v socialism, the rich painting over the suffering of millions.
@@NomadAngie she has a bear made with signs in its name, what would you think
Everyone of these pieces are so on point and meaningful
"Sorry kids, sorry for ... Channel 5." lol u cheeky bugger
munky cheez I hate channel 5 myself. Glad he said it.
huh
I don't understand why British people are so good at acting dismal. Their country's pretty cool.
TheDrakon glad you love us
i used to make fun of this back then, but looking back this is actually mindblowing. banksy did a fantastic job.
I like the Exit through the gift shop reference in the park, great movie about banksy.
Clever, thought provoking, and sinister modern art experience. However, between the 2 videos , I agree, I basically saw the entire venue
This is brilliant! I would totally goto see this.
It was only temporary :(
I know. Shame. I would have loved to see it.
+HazardousFromage what omfg are you kidding me
"How else to exit any amusement park without an exit from the gift shop". Definitely not ironic, Banksy's documentary is called Exit From the Gift Shop
Would have loved to see more dressed up characters, with the Banksy touch.
I actually really love the concept of this!
I'm gutted I missed this. I would have loved to have gone to visit this!
"hey kids we are going to Disneyland!" show up here, TA-DA childhood ruined.
Hhahahahahha ikr ur friggen funnyyyy
Ironically, this is potentially a great business idea.
I'm looking forward to a visit here..... I think
Coming back to this years later, it’s interesting how Cinderellas piece mimics Princess Diana death, since the two are rather similar in character. So maybe stunning pieces I would love it to comeback!!!
worlds most depressing theme park wow.
Heather Mac Yeah, isn't it great !
+Heather Mac Are you kidding? This is hilarious.
6 years later and you still missed the point
The funny thing is that when people say they don’t like it, that it’s ugly, it’s like they don’t realise they’re living in it.
Best day out for a long long time, still in awe - amazing visuals - loved it
If you've been to Disney World in Florida it's basically like this. Waiting for 4 hours to get on a 30 second ride in 90 degree temperature and charging $5 for water.
I'm a little disappointed it seems to be more of a spoof of the idea of Disneyland rather than how legitimately terrible the actual experience is. It's a decent commentary but a little unnecessary to see this all you gotta do is go to Disneyland during tourist season.
You can get free ice water from any stand that has cups. Just saying.
After they were required legally to do so.
+Lucetube GPlusStillSux It's my understanding that the policy has always existed at Disney World. Whether by law or company policy, they're not gonna let people die of heat stroke. And it's much the same at every amusement park I've ever visited.
Then you haven't been very often or it varies per segment. Legoland was also required to do it a few months ago.
Interesting take, Lucetube: Disneyland is its own critique. The same way that it's unnecessary for comedians to do Trump impressions.
great at last! `Well done Banksy.
The history of that building in Weston is also very relevant. As a child I used to spend my summers there when it was the lido style 'Pool', we spent the whole day there for 30p and some climbed in for free over the wall. It was always packed with local kids. Then some local councillers sold it and turned it into the Tropicana! The price more than tripled and it never made money. All the local kids stopped going.
One of the best days of my life when I went there ❤️
Could that guy at 4:05 be banksy, it could be and we wouldn't even know lol
Looking forward to goin here thoug
IVE BEEN TRIGGERED!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS IS WAY 2 EDGY FOR ME AND FOR THE INTERNET.
OMG...
PLS
WAY
2
EDGGYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If Banksy's "social commentary" were lyrics he would be Sum 41.
Basic middle school level pseudo intellectual bullshit for people to think is so deep. Seriously, this guy hasn't said an original thing in his life. His work is like if Hallmark made sarcastic anarchist greeting cards.
no name Sum 41 kind of have some good songs dude
3:54 I am dead after watching this line😂😂
WOW!!!!!!
THANK YOU for POSTING!!!!!
The staff's attitudes is what really gets to me. End joy.
I remember the PTSD Action Man and the rusty car with crochet or whatever over the patches. I was really depressed at the time and it was the perfect event for me to visit.
In the background, they were playing "Sleep Walk" by Santo and Johnny. A 1959 instrumental song that was a top 20 hit.
Fantastic message. A true message
I LOVE BANKSY`S WORK!!!!!!!
What if that random guy actually is banksy and they're just fucking with us
Wish I had visited this place 😃
Sleepwalking is playing in the background at 2:05. Wonderful
I really wanted to work here😂
Please reopen ❤
This feels like every dream I had when I was 8
I regret that I never got to see this first hand.
I wonder, if they have Morrissey or The Smiths broadcast over open-air loudspeakers or down in the park by Gary Numan.
Even this documentary clip is dismal.
I need to go here. I need to go here right now. This is completely hilarious.
so...a real life Krabby land ?
I wish I could go to this so terribly
Mixing the real world with a little bit of fantasy brilliant
you have any guns...grenades.....unicorns...?
amazing 😮🧐👍👍👏👏
That last bit, quite fitting after all these years
I didn’t get either boarding pass for Rise of the Resistance and Disneyland immediately started looking like this
This is really good even at the start having the people at the entrance so not a part of whats going on they are like minimalised spirits.
Wow
Loved it!
This isn't particularly deep...the argument seems to be, bad things happen in the world, here are visual representations of it in the form of a parody of DisneyLand. Uh huh. And...what? I applaud the creativity but it's not that novel to take something happy like DisneyLand and just do the opposite of it.
+David Richard Has this been done elsewhere?
+David Richard It isn't the opposite of Disneyland. Perhaps if you had understood that you would also in turn understand the exhibition.
David Richard I always sortve thought the same. It's like you see bad things but okay.... are we gunna do anything about it? Or did you just spend money to mock it. Why not just create a creative solution. Idk but then again art is just expression so it doesn't seem to need to serve a purpose. Idk.
To do it at this scale sounds pretty amazing actually. It's one thing to show it on a canvas in some art gallery, it's quite another to actually stand inside the art itself and experience it.
@@Popopatop Banksy DOES do something about it; he donates most of the proceeds from his art to charities, and so by buying his art or buying a ticket to dismaland we are helping to solve these issues.
Banksy needs to open one in LA :)
Is this an upmarket version of Southport Pleasure beach? On a serious note. Banksy. You're a genius!
Went here today and I definitely recommend it!
Thank You so much for the detailed tour! I may never make it there in person, this is good enough for me! :-)
this is call art.. as an artist you express yourself and that is what Disney doesnt want.. so keep it up artist.
"Exit through the giftshop" xD
This is absolutely great news for guys like me who is so sick and tired of Disney getting all of The Lovey Dovey attention. Now start building a brand new theme park called Real Dismal World.
have never ever wanted to go to Disneyland but fully support and am inspired by Banksy's Dismaland and will take an F ride to get there.
This is so fucking great! Shaking my head at all these comments on here nitpicking about who seems pretentious in this clip, how "novel" Banksy's statement is, blah blah... I don't know what enlightened, progressive bubble some of you guys live in, but where I live (which really is kind of a Midwestern Anytown, USA), the majority of people are blissfully unaware of how frighteningly far-gone our civilization is in its decline, and what a nightmarishly raped and ruined Eden we have made of this globe. And for me, knowing how oblivious most people are to the dismal state of things makes everything just that much more dismal. Maybe this stuff is taken for granted nowadays by some of us who actively look into and follow the current state of the world beyond what is told to us in the mainstream media, but most people *need* a shrill wake-up call and I say that this installation, or whatever you call it, is at the very least a good stab in that direction.
I hate that new reporter. He's so full of himself
+MsHarleen Quinzel Isn't he the one that did that terrible Robert Downey Jr. "interview"
Soundwave3000 Yes he is. I saw that interview and yes he is a complete prick!
Soundwave3000 Also the Quentin Tarantino interview where he did terrible terrible job at
MsHarleen Quinzel New? Krishnan Guru-Murthy has been reporting on Channel 4 since about '98
+karmastar06 I know he's not new. I don't remember typing new. I thought I typed damn.
I might have been talking while typing. oopsie.
Cool Britania indulging in it's wackadoodle swagger, this bizzare form of expression. Tapping into numerous aspects of Britishness replete with intimation.
Wow, this has been getting a lot of hate. In my opinion, it seems interesting! Its something different,,refreshing. Something new to experience, don't you think? And to view the art, wow!
It should go on a world tour.
I love the statue of a sitting lady being attacked by masses of seagulls. It gets a bit like this in the nearest town to where I live if they know you've got some chips.
So weird to see how this has gone over so many peoples heads. There is even people in the comments thinking it's a real theme park. The dumbing down process is coming along nicely.
Great great art!
can anyone tell me what song is playing at 1:53??? really love the idea of going to this dismal theme park i feel like i could really get into it. lol
Did you find it I’m looking for it
story 11 Found It It’s Ritchie Valens- SleepWalk
a great satirical criticism for disneyland, brilliant and original, this would be the perfect place to go in the vacations for Misery (from Ruby Gloom), HA HA HA.
writer at day , serial killer at night
If he's 5ft 8 they would be the shortest security guards ever lol
Um, wow. How...edgy.
+Des Don't you find it the least bit funny? I find this completely funny. Not edgy, no. That's.. not the right word..
It's message is obvious and intrusively blunt that it's almost cringeworthy...
Ella S I was being sarcastic.
+Des Calling it 'edgy' makes you look really ignorant.. Just sayin...
bob baloni I don't care.
I feel like the only person who wished they could go. It looked so interesting
The employees looked so pissed off xD
That's the point
Love it!
the statue in the castle seems like a reference to the death of princess Diana
man's a genius
Man that place looks fun to visit.
WHYYYYYYYY would you want to work at a place like this?? just whyyyyyyy
Because you can say you worked in Banksy's Theme Park once.
+Decosion here's one reason, aside from the fact you'd have worked under Banksy:
most jobs require you to come in with a go-getter attitude, even if you feel dead inside. at this park, just come looking like you hate life and it fits the theme!
Decosion Beats working at Disneyland.
It is an acting role, they are not real employees.
Do it again?!
exit through the gift shop
I mean, this is very creative. DisneyLand, is a place to show all the great things in this world, and Dismaland is the opposite showing the worst and bad, things in the world. Which is entirely brilliant. But, it's not very deep. There could be more meaning. I don't think i will ever visit this place, but it does look very cool. I just don't think there is a meaning, it's almost like a parody of Disneyland. Again, this is my opinion and I respect everyone else's opinions so please don't hate. But my message is that is should have more meaning.
Tbh, perfect selfie place. For the arts and all
This is Banksy at his best depicting realism
sorry kids. this was amazing.
I called it "Disneyland after a zombie apocalypse".
Beautifully twisted take on an increasingly sick world.
Please come to the United States. The Jersey shore a few hourswould be a PERFECT place for a Dismaland display. It would also be a few hours from my place, but that's just coincidence. ;)
Mamá quiero ir a Disneyland ❎
Mamá, quiero ir a Dismaland✅
We all need a little reality.
This is the most British thing I have ever seen.
They should add a COVID-19 exhibition!
it wouldve been amazing if he dedicated a huge mural to king robbo👑
