As someone such as yourself who was a big part in inspiring me to create my own channel back when I first saw your Nickelodeon Studios exploration, and started to think that maybe people were interested in the same things I was overtly obsessed with, that truly means an awful lot, and I am absolutely humbled.
One problem with the updates is you have the Mayor and his wife refusing to tell where Jack Sparrow is. Why would the Spanish town feel the need to protect Jack Sparrow?
I really appreciate the Lonely Island reference. Also, the guy asking the girls to "shake their pirate booty" for Johnny Depp was kinda creepy Another great video though!
excellent job on this. The only real issue I ever had with this change was the idea that the pirates were attacking the town in search of Jack. I feel the movie additions could've worked just as well without making the plot center around the guy.
The entire attraction is stunning, even in video format w/o translation. It even features two story endings that alternate randomly between each ride. It gets a lot of hate because a lot of people think it's supposed to be the a rendition of the original.
I have an idea: Keep the Davy Jones/Blackbeard projections, the mermaids and the animatronics of Captains Barbossa and Jack as cameos. However Change the plot back to the search for treasure and pillage of the city - almost like a spinoff/side quest for Barbossa and his crew. Have Jack only appear at the end sitting on the throne having made off with the treasure. Everyone is happy, right?
Take the movie tie ins out completely because they will be people who don't get why Depp is wasting his time with Disney or a really dead franchise like this!!!
disneylandw ah but then (uncultured) people will be all like "Waaah! Where is Depp? Can't call it POTC without Depp!" And the movies aren't all good but they have been mostly successful and are popular. Gotta keep a little bit of everything to keep everybody happy.
Nah. It shouldn't have any of the film characters in it at all. End of story. The ride was so brilliant and iconic it inspired those films. It should have been left that way. Changing it was an insult to both the loyal disney fans and the imagineers who originally made the ride. Besides, the mermaids were by far the worst thing about it.
Hey all! I hope you enjoy this exploration of when Pirates of the Caribbean underwent it’s most drastic (and controversial) transformation. This was a very fun video to make, so I hope you sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride (pun intended). Mark/Yesterworld
I am okay with the jack sparrow changes, the redhead changed I have warmed up too, but as dsny newscast pointed out, they could have made the dialogue better and just kept the originally dialogue, I am still mixed on the redhead change, but honestly, it turned out better than I expected because I imagined worse for it. Also like the fact that the redhead is voiced by Grey DeLisle!
The Channel of Lego & More it’s worse than i would’ve ever imagined. it just seems kinda cheesey and thrown together for a big attraction like pirates. sad the old auctioneer voice is gone too
It's not any particular change that annoys me, it's the overall redirection from what pirates even are. To continue to not offend an increasingly fragile public, they need to just change the name to "nautical naughty party animals", because "rape, pillage and plunder"? What was the general public in 1960s thinking?
Well I rode the one in Magic Kingdom before the films and the changes made it a completely different and poorer experience. If you didn't notice anything amiss then you're not really a fan of the attraction.
They could have made the new auction scene so much better. They could have had the redhead and original auctioneer bicker over who gets to sell the booty and get the money. And the other pirates could have still shouted "we wants the redhead" while she shoots at them or something.
My Mom was mad af when they changed the ladies to have food instead of the guys chasing the ladies. I think the We want the Redhead chant should have stayed.
I watched a pov of that Shanghai version and it’s crazy. It’s got nothing to do with the original ride but it was still very impressive. I’d love to ride it in person someday
i honestly love the new redhead.. i think her design and story are really interesting. i feel like even though it’s a historical ride, disney really is at heart a romantic, fantastical place, so removing the auction scene is fine with me :)
I just remember how disappointed I was by the Davy Jones and Barbossa intro, only to be blown away by the quality of the Jacket Sparrow animatronics. The end scene where he sings with the treasure is probably my favourite of the whole park.
I’ve been saying it since the beginning. To save the whole franchise they need to build a Pirates themed mini land, in which they make two rides: one being the original ride, with a majority of the movie tie ins removed, and the other ride being a carbon copy of the Shanghai Disney land version.
Funny enough when I rode this at Magic Kingdom 7 years ago, I thought this is how it's always been, with the Jack Sparrow character originating from the ride. Never realized how much they changed
as someone who isn’t old enough to have seen the original my only complaint about the ride is the musty dusty crusty rusty smell in the room with the cannons firing on the ships
I haven't been to Disneyland since 2009, but I had grown up going to Disneyland, must have been 50+ times in the late 80's and early 90's. When I got to go back in 2009 and I saw all the updates to Pirates of the Caribbean, I was one of the VERY disappointed people.... felt like a lot of what I loved about its previous incarnations was lost by adding the movie characters in. Also always felt like watching the movie as someone who was very familiar with the ride was like getting an extra treat to catch all the ride references in the movie. I'm sad that some of those aspects are now gone because they incorporated movie elements back into the ride.
Can't say it bothered me that they changed several aspects of the ride. I'm just grateful it still has some of the same elements that were familiar with the original version. And the song is still being played on the ride. It's not like they made it entirely based on the films themselves, just a couple spots here and there.
I love the original pirates movie purely because of all the little nods to the ride. The jail scene, the redhead is in the pirate town, them burning down the port is super reminiscent of the ride, I wish they kept it up with the others
You forgot a few others like Gibbs sleeping among the pigs being a reference to the pirate sleeping among the pigs in the ride and the entire cave where the Aztec chest is hidden and the whole conflict of the Black Pearl crew being cursed to become walking undead pirates and turning into skeletons when exposed to moonlight is a reference to the first half of the ride where you go through a cave and see skeletons of pirates and the audio mentioning it’s due to a curse from the treasure. So the entire premise of the first film is built around that first half of the ride and minor plot.
What's interesting is that most people will not get the references made in At World's End when they fall over the edge of the world and go to Davy Jones' Locker. The screen goes black with audio from the ride used, and now it's all been changed in the actual ride. It's almost as if the movie was the ride's last hurrah and died with everyone in the movie.
Very cool video! Personally I have nothing against the tie-ins with the movie franchise, but I can definitely see why those who loved the original ride for what it was would be disappointed by the changes. To each their own I suppose!
I rode Paris' PotC shortly after it had it's red head/Jack Sparrow update. Honestly, it's the best version. On the Red Head side, (with the caveat I don't understand French) She was just another pirate there. The blue dressed woman had jewels draped on her and all it all it felt very natural. Only the auctioneer and the pirates on the seats to your right spoke. As for the Jack stuff, it (mostly) worked. DLP's version has this... melancholy draped over the ride. Your first glimpse of Pirates stuff is an abandoned ship crashed on an island with a sunk dinghy full of treasure inside. The Skeleton Caverns are at the beginning and the end of the ride with the Pirates slowly being added. You can miss the first few because they are quiet and out of your immediate line of sight. The Pirate Captain is the same as before, and the rest of the ride seemed to be the same way. (again, don't speak French so I am unsure what the town square sequence said) Barbossa shows up at the end. His animatronic is FLUID and manages to do a jump scare on you. He laughs and turns into a skeleton with the skeleton captain aways behind him. It really feels like he's an immortal, trapped below a ruined city. He's surrounded by treasure, and by his crew who murdered each other for gold no one can use. What good was that adventure? What did anyone gain? Jack then ruins it by singing with the gold before the exist, but cut that part out and you have a BRILLIANT fusion of all the parts to make a great ride. And there's the fencing animatronics. Those are still amazing.
This is weird, because I was at Disneyland Paris in the early 2000's (01/02, I think) before all the movie-tie-in renovations, and I distinctly remember it being in English.
IMO, this is what makes the ride in Shanghai so great. That ride was built *from the ground up* with the movie tie-ins in mind. That way the movie addition of characters and plot elements from the movies don't feel tacked on like they do at the other parks. IF said other parks have the space for this, then I think what needs to happen is that there needs to be another attraction next to the preexisting POTC rides that will be more centered around the movies, with references to the original ride to tie them both in the same continuity. Then you can take all of the movie stuff out of the original ride (aside from a few winks and nods) and into the new attraction. The OG ride fans will have something resembling the classic ride they grew up with, and the movie fans won't be complaining to Disney Park management about a lack of Jack Sparrow. Everybody wins!
I loved the original and the song was great. I still remember my dad buying the record of Disney songs with the original song. Yet when I asked why the change the first reaction from the cast was it wasn't. Right up to the point I started singing the song. lol Then they just smirked and nodded towards the kids. I just shook my head and waved getting on the ride.
Allegedly, Disneyland keeps a spare Captain Jack costume back stage for if Depp ever wants to mess with guests. I think it may have just been part of promotion for Pirates 4 though.
Throwboy Since he has a home in Paris, he will visit Disney Paris to mess with guests! He also does indeed visit Florida, cause I think he has a home there too?
Ride: "Dead men tell no tales" Also ride: "but they do tell tales says I" Well, which is it Disney?! With all the ride controversy with the redhead, I'm just glad that the ride doesn't contradict itself anymore.
I thought this video was gonna be about how Disneyland had to get rid of the jack sparrow character actor in the parks becuase female guest kept flashing him amd feeling him up. True story. Great video i enjoyed it
5:25 the movie's theme blasting in the background Reminded me of Jaiden Animation's story about her art teacher's obsession with Pirates of the Carabbean
I actually didn’t mind the Redhead change at first since I originally saw it live in Disneyland Paris and it looked pretty nice. But the new face mold of the Redhead in WDW is really ugly. Paris got to keep the same face for their Redhead. I hope Disneyland doesn’t get the same animatronic as WDW ‘cause her face, WOOF.
The ride came first, so it never should’ve been altered to tie in with the movie. If they wanted to update the animatronics and generally give the ride a facelift, fine, but the overall experience should’ve been preserved.
Another great video. Personally, since the ride has changed so much from its original version, I don't mind a lot of the new changes Disney has implemented. Although some I have a problem with (the "Mist of Promotion" with Davy Jones and Black Beard).
I honestly think that Disney should've left this ride alone. It was perfect the way it was, and I think its kinda disrespectful to Walt's vision of a pirate attraction that reflected the harsh reality of those days. As a certain imagineer said, its more like 'boy scouts of the Caribbean.'
Honestly now that the ride has been changed so much I would be game for a total redesign. (the following is solely about the Disneyland version) If I was in Imagineering I would be petitioning for replacing the older and less realistic AA frames (not their faces), removing Jack Sparrow as a major role- removing all dialogue references and AA's-(but keeping the reference in his portrait in the queue and adding a mostly hidden AA of him in the back of the prison scene) and completely redesigning the old lust scene into a battle between the soldiers of the town and the invaders. I would however keep some of the movie tie ins, such as the Barbossa animatronic and the inclusion of Davey Jones (in fact I would redesign his scene in the cavern to look more "realistic" and lengthen hi dialogue on the lift hill ). I would also add an on-board triggered sound system in the boats, not for ride soundtrack but rather to sync the Davey Jones and talking skull voices to the boats themselves. All that would put into emphasis the whole idea of the pirates in the caves being the same ones that are in the rest of the ride and such. (Davey Jones would say things like "If ye be brave or foolish enough to hear these Dead Men's Tale, proceed!" and on the lift hill say something about how the pirates evil brought them to their terrible fate) Honestly if a ride is so far gone, why pretend.
The saddest thing to me was that when I first heard about the shift to the auction scene, my initial thought was "Well, at least it's not another movie tie-in." As someone who grew up with the original Pirates, the changes that added the film elements killed the spirit and feel of the attraction. I still feel that the additions could have been handled with a lot more care to the existing narrative. Despite it not being obvious (at least to a lot of today's guests), there was a cohesive story set up: the skeletons seen in the grotto are what's left of the pirates that ransacked the town, the "cursed treasure" being the loot they stole, and the ghostly powers of the cave sending you back to witness what happened; now Davey Jones pops to, say you're going back to see their fate? It's unclear. Making it worse, Jack ultimately succeeds in getting the treasure before the rest of the pirates - where did the loot in the caves come from then? It sort of renders the initial caves a series of unrelated vignettes, I feel. By far the most obnoxious thing though - the thing that makes it feel like shoehorning, and something that could have easily been avoided - is some of the dialogue changes. Every pirate in the ride does not need to yell "CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW" to get the point across that now he's our protagonist. We know Jack, and there he is. The most egregious scene that uses this is the dunking scene, where the main pirate now demands to know where CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow is (and the treasure as an afterthought), but the mayor still will not talk. Why would he (and his wife) defend Jack? He's a mayor, Jack's an outlaw, and presumably if he gives up Jack the pirates will leave... or at least he would hope that. But no, pirates seeking treasure takes a backseat to reminding the audience that everything is all about Jack now: you love Jack, you only care about Jack. Ugh. In closing, I would have been happier with the auction scene changes, but once again the new dialogue is so contrived and devoid of anything fun or original that it actually makes me cringe hearing it. They had every opportunity to make the scene still fun and memorable, and even give the iconic Redhead a few awesome lines now that she's a pirate, but no. And in so doing we lost yet another iconic Paul Frees voice for the Auctioneer. And people ask me why I've taken my business over to Knott's Berry Farm instead...
CrackedMack yea, Paul Frees' voice as the Auctioneer was a great one. If he was still around though, I'm sure he would've redone those lines. But yea, i see where you're coming from. Walt's rolling in his grave as we speak
i think the lines should've been like this Pirates: "we wants the redhead" Female Pirate: "i ain't no plunder muttonheads, now get movin' or else" (Female Pirate Shoots Gun W/ Sound Effect) alternate lines can be like this Female Pirate: "keep movin' boys, there will be enough for none of you, for my name isn't, Anne Bonny!" Female Pirate: "don't make me stuff my corset down your throats" Female Pirate: "I see you lookin' boys, but first, get movin'!" i think these would make for better lines in my opinion, it matches the tone of the original, and i think the character should be anne bonny, the original female pirate, and they could've made the brides into other pirates with the right designs
Seriously the Jack Sparrow love feast needs to end someday. Mainly because i think Disney is no longer interested in this franchise to begin with and also the fact that the fifth movie really sucked out any leftover good will, people still had with the character and sadly the actor as well. Also the movie tie ins don't really make sense with the still original 1960s elements of the old story
@@Floridafanatic28 Idk about that. There's contradictory claims about what's going on with it. Some say that there'll be a sixth film. Some are saying that there will be a reboot. It is up in the air. Disney may make a return to it however with Marvel wrapped up and Star Wars wrapping up for the time being.
I'm inclined to question the sensibility of making pirates 'PC' considering there's literally nothing PC about pirates in the first place. Especially the 'bride auction', I'm almost certain that was supposed to be an uncomfortable thing to begin with because... it's an uncomfortable thing to begin with.
just casually looking at a lifelike animatronic of himself. . .anyone else would have been way too freaked out to stand that close to a recreation of themselves.
Alright, I waited till the end of pt. 2 to post this just to make sure you weren't going to mention it - and maybe that's totally intentional as it could be inappropriate for the channel. But when I was a kid in the 90's, during the burning village portion of the ride, I clearly remember seeing a Menorah (a lampstand usually associated with Judaism) ON FIRE in one of the windows. It was tough to spot and fairly hidden, but if you knew where to look, it was obvious. Even as a kid I knew there was something sinister about it. I started looking out for it on every trip we took to the park - about 5 or 10 years down the road (early 2000s?) it was gone, and the window was empty and I think no longer even on fire. Is there any documentation or background on this?
The thing about newcomers demanding the source material conform to their limited experiences with the franchise is an all too real and naturally occurring event in reality. When something has been around for a while, but then gets a huge popularity spike, it will inevitably result in the newcomers believing they should be catered to, as vain and vapid as they are, demand instant gratification on any whim that strikes them. Another example is how movie-adaptations of, for instance, comic books, usually results in the comic books changing to conform to the new movies, like how most if not all X-Men for a time wore generic full-black body suits devoid of other colors. I won't be surprised if Thanos now starts dressing like a dock worker in Marvel Comics because of Infinity War.
There's nothing wrong with changing features on a ride as long as it has the same feel. I went to Disneyland the years before and after the additions and while not a huge fan of the movies, I enjoyed both the old and new.
My only visit to Disneyland, or any Disney park for that matter, was in 2004 when I was 16. I got to see the attraction before the change was made to the movie theming. I love watching these videos about Disneyland/World despite only going to Land once. I really need to get to Disney World some point in my life, but flights to Orlando from Denver are expensive, plus the cost of admissions and such. I'm jealous of those that live close enough to the parks or have the money to see the parks regularly.
Here's a fun fact I'd like to toss in: As of the big refurbishment that added all the movie elements, know who does the voice of the skull at the cavern entrance who warns you of squalls ahead and tells you to keep your arms and legs in the boat? That's James Arnold Taylor, the voice double for Michael J. Fox, and better known as the voice of Ratchet, Johnny Test, Tidus from Final Fantasy 10, Fred Flintstone in newer cartoons, and Captain Jack Sparrow himself in the Kingdom Hearts games.
What I think is you can’t please anybody, instead of appreciating the old with the new and the differences they have to complain about it which is sad.
7 years ago I went on this ride with much excitement. Only for Jack Sparrow’s left eye at the final scene to be nonfunctional, causing the animatronic to have a lazy eye. And honestly it was great. 😂
I don't know if auctioning off women was a thing real historical pirates did or just a fictionalised version but, in either case, the pirates are supposed to be the bad guys so it's acceptable to show them behaving badly towards the townsfolk. You're supposed to be thinking, "Auctioning slave brides? Aren't these pirates an unscrupulous, reprehensible bunch of scoundrels?" Not, "Ooh, that's a good idea, I think I'll kidnap a group of women and sell them at auction for money!" And if it was thought unsuitable for children, why did they include it in the first place? The new redhead character is cool but if they wanted to change it, they should have scrapped the auction idea altogether and given her a completely different role, it's a lazy change as the new auction doesn't even make sense, what would pirates want with oil paintings and grandfather clocks?
I'm not really a nostalgic person, but I do think it sucks that all the changes were made, as this is meant to capture a time period. Of course women were chased around and sold off, this is not supposed to represent 2018 and how we now know to treat women and stuff. It would be like having an attraction about the civil war but erasing all references to slavery because it's not pleasant to think about. I remember being creeped out by this ride as a kid, there was something dark and unsettling about it where it didn't feel safe - like knowing the pirates in the ship scene were animatronic, but there's still a possibility that we could get hit.. What was especially creepy were the old voices, the warm analog old tape sound of them added to the creepiness. I dig that stuff, but whatever, it's for kids to enjoy now so if that's what they want, good on them I guess.
QueeferSutherland The thing is the ride is not meant to be a historically accurate portrayal but a romanticized version. Pirates in real life, even back then, are very different from how we view them in pop culture, we just pick and choose what's cool and just keep those. When something questionable is added it's because that part was specifically chosen as something cool to keep around. Violence specifically towards woman has been going out of fashion to say the least so if we were to continue showing that aspect it that would be very troubling.
Brian Z well pirates isnt supposed to be a historical representation of course but we have a man being tortured in the scene right before and arson not far after, not to mention the constant alcoholism and violence shown throughout the ride and all of these have no place in our society yet no one wants to bring these up as a problem when they are just as bad. It comes of hypocritical to attack the auction scene but not the others also i haven't once heard anyone complain about the scene before the change was announced and no woman i personally know has had a problem with, hell my GF is personally really sad it's leaving. I think most people realize that the stuff shown in pirates is wrong and that even in their pop culture form they are almost always seen as villains so showing them doing awfull things is gonna happen. This really seems like outrage for outrages sake and not a actually needed change.
While I much prefer the original elements (as I experienced as a child) I don't really mind the narrative changes or the inclusion of Johnny Depp. What I absolutely hate the obnoxious and distracting background music that was added. It made the beginning far less spooky and mysterious and I can't even hear what Barbossa is saying! The Davy Jones inclusion also needed to die a horrible fiery death because did not fit with the theming AT ALL.
Okay, the women chasing off the pirates with frying pans & rolling pins was just harmless comedy. But auctioning off the town people's goods (the stuff they just stole) was freaking stupid. But the worst mistake is remaking the ride to be more like the increasingly terrible movies.
I'm so used to Magic Kingdom's POTC that it was very cool to see how the changes affected Disneyland's ride and how different it is compared to ours. Though I guess we got Red the Pirate first in the new update, which I think is cool but I'm gonna keep saying 'We want the Red-head!" still when I go on it lol
I was born 2 months after Pirates of the Caribbean opened. I lived 10 miles from Disney Land my entire young life. So I'm some what of a Disney Land expert. Ive literally been there nearly a thousand times. And I never missed a chance to ride Pirates. I'm saying all this to say that I love the changes. They did a great job. And I, same as the ride it self, have changed over the years. Change is good. 😁😁😁😁
I'm always bothered by the complaint that Jack Sparrow's animatronics look "too realistic" compared to the other cartoonish pirates - because one of the most frustrating aspects of old Disney character design is that lead characters (with a heavy bias towards any female characters meant to be "beautiful" in general, regardless of role) have always looked more realistic compared to cartoonish side characters. It feels really hollow and shows a lack of awareness about Disney to complain about something like that.
I remember riding POTC as a child in the early 90s on family trips to Disneyland. I rode it again a few years later as a young adult and bore witness to all the PC changes to the ride. To me, it no longer held the same exciting flare and factual depiction that it once had.
Can you imagine being so lame that you go to Disney city hall to complain that an iconic Disney ride doesn’t have updates from a brand new movie? Wow people are pathetic
You didn't mention that Barbossa was recently changed to wear his Privateer outfit at Magic Kingdom. I dig anything that pays respect to the seriously underrated On Stranger Tides.
While I will forever miss the more grown up elements that the bride auction and lustful elements brought to this ride, as long as the Ghost Host still challenges us to "Find a Way Out", I'll be happy.
LegolasNordark Thank goodness the Eddie Murphy “Haunted Mansion” bombed. Could you imagine if they had to redub Madame Leota with the actress from the movie?
After a lot of soul searching, I've come to terms with this change, and I don't think it's something to appease SJWs. Disney is meant to be a place for escapist entertainment, somewhere where we can go with our favorite characters on an adventure. When Walt opened the park, it was a mix of that and educational exibits, and the initial iteration of Pirates was more of the latter, with the hedonistic immoral pirates pillaging the town, raping the women, and in the end they pay for it by getting drunk and burning to death. But ever since the movies came out, we've switched sides, so now we're rooting for the pirates. I loved the initial vague storytelling of the life of the Scarlet Pirate Queen, and how it was delivered, being subtle and open to interpretation, and I will deeply miss it. But as a place that caters more twords kids, Disney needs to focus on a sense of going on an adventure; fun entertainment that will create memories. Let the kids learn the truth about how Pirates acted in 5-7 years when their in middle school. In the end I'm just surprised the auction scene lasted as long as it did.
Just watch, someday a bunch of SJWs who weren't offended by it before will suddenly take issue with the hanging corpse and lightning effect, whining loud enough about how the scene could trigger people with suicidal thoughts and give people with epilepsy seizures that the Ghost Host's "way out" becomes nothing but the actual door into the portrait hall.
Rides of this nature should be given a Disney historic landmark! Leave the classic ride alone... go build another movie pirate ride and leave what didn't need fixing alone! The worlds gotten too politically correct 😞
Some seriously fantastic editing!
As someone such as yourself who was a big part in inspiring me to create my own channel back when I first saw your Nickelodeon Studios exploration, and started to think that maybe people were interested in the same things I was overtly obsessed with, that truly means an awful lot, and I am absolutely humbled.
Bright Sun Films Hi Jake.
Subjection Action park!
It will be abandon with a happy ending.
Poison gee
I love when my favorite TH-camrs compliment each other! Both of your channels are phenomenal and inspiring. Keep up the great work, my dudes!
What is all this about? Corruption Enterprise No Doubt! Trade Secrets.
The edit where Jack Sparrow is yelling, "NO. NOT GOOD. STOP. NOT GOOD." at the burning castle made me laugh way too hard.
3:46 yeah it was
Dani D. Lol
Dani D. Lol 😆
3:47
One problem with the updates is you have the Mayor and his wife refusing to tell where Jack Sparrow is. Why would the Spanish town feel the need to protect Jack Sparrow?
Why would they even know where he is?
I really appreciate the Lonely Island reference. Also, the guy asking the girls to "shake their pirate booty" for Johnny Depp was kinda creepy
Another great video though!
XxstardropzdreammxX Glad i’m not alone on that!. I was like “ok then”. That was definitely weird and creepy to me as well.
XxstardropzdreammxX Pirate booty is an actual term though so it makes sense, it’s a pun, a joke.
XxstardropzdreammxX yes
XxstardropzdreammxX yes
@@GabrielTheMagolorMain Yes, but it's still a very creepy thing to ask strangers.
excellent job on this.
The only real issue I ever had with this change was the idea that the pirates were attacking the town in search of Jack. I feel the movie additions could've worked just as well without making the plot center around the guy.
8:05 nobody can tell me that wasn't a cool effect though
Jayheartsjonas ,I want to know how the hell they did that
saw that part and just went "HOW?!??!"
It has something to do with the skeleton being in the dark and Jack in light but i can't give you specifics.
Jayheartsjonas I believe it’s peppers ghost effect or an effect similar to it
The entire attraction is stunning, even in video format w/o translation. It even features two story endings that alternate randomly between each ride. It gets a lot of hate because a lot of people think it's supposed to be the a rendition of the original.
I have an idea: Keep the Davy Jones/Blackbeard projections, the mermaids and the animatronics of Captains Barbossa and Jack as cameos.
However
Change the plot back to the search for treasure and pillage of the city - almost like a spinoff/side quest for Barbossa and his crew.
Have Jack only appear at the end sitting on the throne having made off with the treasure.
Everyone is happy, right?
I say take out the mist effect cause it really seems like some kind of advertisement for the movies, feels out of place imo.
Kyle Micheals uh okay. How about keeping the voices of Davy Jones/Blackbeard doing the original narration?
Take the movie tie ins out completely because they will be people who don't get why Depp is wasting his time with Disney or a really dead franchise like this!!!
disneylandw ah but then (uncultured) people will be all like "Waaah! Where is Depp? Can't call it POTC without Depp!"
And the movies aren't all good but they have been mostly successful and are popular.
Gotta keep a little bit of everything to keep everybody happy.
Nah. It shouldn't have any of the film characters in it at all. End of story. The ride was so brilliant and iconic it inspired those films. It should have been left that way. Changing it was an insult to both the loyal disney fans and the imagineers who originally made the ride. Besides, the mermaids were by far the worst thing about it.
My favorite thing is literally the day when Johnny Depp actually was in the ride instead of the animatronic that was the best day ever
Hey all! I hope you enjoy this exploration of when Pirates of the Caribbean underwent it’s most drastic (and controversial) transformation. This was a very fun video to make, so I hope you sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride (pun intended).
Mark/Yesterworld
"I would go to jail for him..." yeah, there is a restraining order.
Turns out he wasn't the bad guy
I feel lucky that my first ride on Pirates was right before the movie tie-in change. It’s really cool that I got to experience both of it.
I am okay with the jack sparrow changes, the redhead changed I have warmed up too, but as dsny newscast pointed out, they could have made the dialogue better and just kept the originally dialogue, I am still mixed on the redhead change, but honestly, it turned out better than I expected because I imagined worse for it. Also like the fact that the redhead is voiced by Grey DeLisle!
The Channel of Lego & More it’s worse than i would’ve ever imagined. it just seems kinda cheesey and thrown together for a big attraction like pirates. sad the old auctioneer voice is gone too
I agree they could have kept the whole "We wants the readhead!" and then have her say that "she ain't fer sale."
The voice of the redhead is the worst thing about it. She was better in the DLP version just standing there.
It's not any particular change that annoys me, it's the overall redirection from what pirates even are. To continue to not offend an increasingly fragile public, they need to just change the name to "nautical naughty party animals", because "rape, pillage and plunder"? What was the general public in 1960s thinking?
Michael Anderson Wat the one in Paris keeps her original face.
8:05 HOLY SHIT! That was one of the greatest effects I’ve ever seen!
hahaha, dude! I love this so much. Great use of movie clips AND LONELY ISLAND! YEssssssssss
I don't mind the changes; I think they're good enough that, if you hadn't seen the original ride, you wouldn't see anything amiss.
Well I rode the one in Magic Kingdom before the films and the changes made it a completely different and poorer experience. If you didn't notice anything amiss then you're not really a fan of the attraction.
They could have made the new auction scene so much better. They could have had the redhead and original auctioneer bicker over who gets to sell the booty and get the money. And the other pirates could have still shouted "we wants the redhead" while she shoots at them or something.
That would have been WAYYY better wtf.
My Mom was mad af when they changed the ladies to have food instead of the guys chasing the ladies. I think the We want the Redhead chant should have stayed.
I watched a pov of that Shanghai version and it’s crazy. It’s got nothing to do with the original ride but it was still very impressive. I’d love to ride it in person someday
i honestly love the new redhead.. i think her design and story are really interesting. i feel like even though it’s a historical ride, disney really is at heart a romantic, fantastical place, so removing the auction scene is fine with me :)
It was more altered than really removed.
I just remember how disappointed I was by the Davy Jones and Barbossa intro, only to be blown away by the quality of the Jacket Sparrow animatronics. The end scene where he sings with the treasure is probably my favourite of the whole park.
I’ve been saying it since the beginning. To save the whole franchise they need to build a Pirates themed mini land, in which they make two rides: one being the original ride, with a majority of the movie tie ins removed, and the other ride being a carbon copy of the Shanghai Disney land version.
You have my vote.
Funny enough when I rode this at Magic Kingdom 7 years ago, I thought this is how it's always been, with the Jack Sparrow character originating from the ride. Never realized how much they changed
you were robbed
as someone who isn’t old enough to have seen the original
my only complaint about the ride is the musty dusty crusty rusty smell in the room with the cannons firing on the ships
I haven't been to Disneyland since 2009, but I had grown up going to Disneyland, must have been 50+ times in the late 80's and early 90's. When I got to go back in 2009 and I saw all the updates to Pirates of the Caribbean, I was one of the VERY disappointed people.... felt like a lot of what I loved about its previous incarnations was lost by adding the movie characters in.
Also always felt like watching the movie as someone who was very familiar with the ride was like getting an extra treat to catch all the ride references in the movie. I'm sad that some of those aspects are now gone because they incorporated movie elements back into the ride.
Can't say it bothered me that they changed several aspects of the ride. I'm just grateful it still has some of the same elements that were familiar with the original version. And the song is still being played on the ride. It's not like they made it entirely based on the films themselves, just a couple spots here and there.
I love the original pirates movie purely because of all the little nods to the ride. The jail scene, the redhead is in the pirate town, them burning down the port is super reminiscent of the ride, I wish they kept it up with the others
You forgot a few others like Gibbs sleeping among the pigs being a reference to the pirate sleeping among the pigs in the ride and the entire cave where the Aztec chest is hidden and the whole conflict of the Black Pearl crew being cursed to become walking undead pirates and turning into skeletons when exposed to moonlight is a reference to the first half of the ride where you go through a cave and see skeletons of pirates and the audio mentioning it’s due to a curse from the treasure. So the entire premise of the first film is built around that first half of the ride and minor plot.
7:37 Okay, that's actually kind of funny
What's interesting is that most people will not get the references made in At World's End when they fall over the edge of the world and go to Davy Jones' Locker. The screen goes black with audio from the ride used, and now it's all been changed in the actual ride. It's almost as if the movie was the ride's last hurrah and died with everyone in the movie.
The movies are being rebooted, please revert the movie tie-ins already
love that planes trains and automobiles reference. definitely the greatest thanksgiving movie of all time
Very cool video! Personally I have nothing against the tie-ins with the movie franchise, but I can definitely see why those who loved the original ride for what it was would be disappointed by the changes. To each their own I suppose!
I rode Paris' PotC shortly after it had it's red head/Jack Sparrow update. Honestly, it's the best version. On the Red Head side, (with the caveat I don't understand French) She was just another pirate there. The blue dressed woman had jewels draped on her and all it all it felt very natural. Only the auctioneer and the pirates on the seats to your right spoke.
As for the Jack stuff, it (mostly) worked. DLP's version has this... melancholy draped over the ride. Your first glimpse of Pirates stuff is an abandoned ship crashed on an island with a sunk dinghy full of treasure inside. The Skeleton Caverns are at the beginning and the end of the ride with the Pirates slowly being added. You can miss the first few because they are quiet and out of your immediate line of sight. The Pirate Captain is the same as before, and the rest of the ride seemed to be the same way. (again, don't speak French so I am unsure what the town square sequence said)
Barbossa shows up at the end. His animatronic is FLUID and manages to do a jump scare on you. He laughs and turns into a skeleton with the skeleton captain aways behind him. It really feels like he's an immortal, trapped below a ruined city. He's surrounded by treasure, and by his crew who murdered each other for gold no one can use. What good was that adventure? What did anyone gain?
Jack then ruins it by singing with the gold before the exist, but cut that part out and you have a BRILLIANT fusion of all the parts to make a great ride.
And there's the fencing animatronics. Those are still amazing.
This is weird, because I was at Disneyland Paris in the early 2000's (01/02, I think) before all the movie-tie-in renovations, and I distinctly remember it being in English.
IMO, this is what makes the ride in Shanghai so great. That ride was built *from the ground up* with the movie tie-ins in mind. That way the movie addition of characters and plot elements from the movies don't feel tacked on like they do at the other parks.
IF said other parks have the space for this, then I think what needs to happen is that there needs to be another attraction next to the preexisting POTC rides that will be more centered around the movies, with references to the original ride to tie them both in the same continuity. Then you can take all of the movie stuff out of the original ride (aside from a few winks and nods) and into the new attraction.
The OG ride fans will have something resembling the classic ride they grew up with, and the movie fans won't be complaining to Disney Park management about a lack of Jack Sparrow. Everybody wins!
Pirates were not PC.
That animatronic of Jack Sparrow is so lifelike it kinda blows my mind.
I loved the original and the song was great. I still remember my dad buying the record of Disney songs with the original song. Yet when I asked why the change the first reaction from the cast was it wasn't. Right up to the point I started singing the song. lol Then they just smirked and nodded towards the kids. I just shook my head and waved getting on the ride.
What is 7:38 from? Depp was actually there once?
Allegedly, Disneyland keeps a spare Captain Jack costume back stage for if Depp ever wants to mess with guests.
I think it may have just been part of promotion for Pirates 4 though.
I swear as a kid I actually did encounter Johnny Depp at disneyland
When I went Disneyland last year, Johnny Depp had come to visit the ride the week after we left.
Wow that's nuts
Throwboy Since he has a home in Paris, he will visit Disney Paris to mess with guests! He also does indeed visit Florida, cause I think he has a home there too?
Ride: "Dead men tell no tales"
Also ride: "but they do tell tales says I"
Well, which is it Disney?!
With all the ride controversy with the redhead, I'm just glad that the ride doesn't contradict itself anymore.
“We wants the redhead!”
Onebad Tj Love the profile picture 👌🏻
#wewantsthereadhead
Daniel Richardson thank you!
"QUIET, YE SCUM!"
I thought this video was gonna be about how Disneyland had to get rid of the jack sparrow character actor in the parks becuase female guest kept flashing him amd feeling him up. True story. Great video i enjoyed it
5:25 the movie's theme blasting in the background
Reminded me of Jaiden Animation's story about her art teacher's obsession with Pirates of the Carabbean
I actually didn’t mind the Redhead change at first since I originally saw it live in Disneyland Paris and it looked pretty nice. But the new face mold of the Redhead in WDW is really ugly. Paris got to keep the same face for their Redhead. I hope Disneyland doesn’t get the same animatronic as WDW ‘cause her face, WOOF.
The ride came first, so it never should’ve been altered to tie in with the movie. If they wanted to update the animatronics and generally give the ride a facelift, fine, but the overall experience should’ve been preserved.
Another great video. Personally, since the ride has changed so much from its original version, I don't mind a lot of the new changes Disney has implemented. Although some I have a problem with (the "Mist of Promotion" with Davy Jones and Black Beard).
Ha! I found you
Matterhorn Matt it’s awesome
I honestly think that Disney should've left this ride alone. It was perfect the way it was, and I think its kinda disrespectful to Walt's vision of a pirate attraction that reflected the harsh reality of those days. As a certain imagineer said, its more like 'boy scouts of the Caribbean.'
The movie tie-ins were also bad, especially now that the franchise has faded into obscurity.
@@JCBro-yg8vd So much this. Pirates as it was is timeless, the movie references are going to be dated.
Honestly now that the ride has been changed so much I would be game for a total redesign. (the following is solely about the Disneyland version) If I was in Imagineering I would be petitioning for replacing the older and less realistic AA frames (not their faces), removing Jack Sparrow as a major role- removing all dialogue references and AA's-(but keeping the reference in his portrait in the queue and adding a mostly hidden AA of him in the back of the prison scene) and completely redesigning the old lust scene into a battle between the soldiers of the town and the invaders. I would however keep some of the movie tie ins, such as the Barbossa animatronic and the inclusion of Davey Jones (in fact I would redesign his scene in the cavern to look more "realistic" and lengthen hi dialogue on the lift hill ). I would also add an on-board triggered sound system in the boats, not for ride soundtrack but rather to sync the Davey Jones and talking skull voices to the boats themselves. All that would put into emphasis the whole idea of the pirates in the caves being the same ones that are in the rest of the ride and such. (Davey Jones would say things like "If ye be brave or foolish enough to hear these Dead Men's Tale, proceed!" and on the lift hill say something about how the pirates evil brought them to their terrible fate)
Honestly if a ride is so far gone, why pretend.
Mateo Pelissier you're a genius. I'd LOVE that. Only if you keep the song though.
I can't believe Micheal Bolten made a full version of that song.
The saddest thing to me was that when I first heard about the shift to the auction scene, my initial thought was "Well, at least it's not another movie tie-in."
As someone who grew up with the original Pirates, the changes that added the film elements killed the spirit and feel of the attraction. I still feel that the additions could have been handled with a lot more care to the existing narrative. Despite it not being obvious (at least to a lot of today's guests), there was a cohesive story set up: the skeletons seen in the grotto are what's left of the pirates that ransacked the town, the "cursed treasure" being the loot they stole, and the ghostly powers of the cave sending you back to witness what happened; now Davey Jones pops to, say you're going back to see their fate? It's unclear. Making it worse, Jack ultimately succeeds in getting the treasure before the rest of the pirates - where did the loot in the caves come from then? It sort of renders the initial caves a series of unrelated vignettes, I feel.
By far the most obnoxious thing though - the thing that makes it feel like shoehorning, and something that could have easily been avoided - is some of the dialogue changes. Every pirate in the ride does not need to yell "CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW" to get the point across that now he's our protagonist. We know Jack, and there he is. The most egregious scene that uses this is the dunking scene, where the main pirate now demands to know where CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow is (and the treasure as an afterthought), but the mayor still will not talk. Why would he (and his wife) defend Jack? He's a mayor, Jack's an outlaw, and presumably if he gives up Jack the pirates will leave... or at least he would hope that. But no, pirates seeking treasure takes a backseat to reminding the audience that everything is all about Jack now: you love Jack, you only care about Jack. Ugh.
In closing, I would have been happier with the auction scene changes, but once again the new dialogue is so contrived and devoid of anything fun or original that it actually makes me cringe hearing it. They had every opportunity to make the scene still fun and memorable, and even give the iconic Redhead a few awesome lines now that she's a pirate, but no. And in so doing we lost yet another iconic Paul Frees voice for the Auctioneer.
And people ask me why I've taken my business over to Knott's Berry Farm instead...
CrackedMack yea, Paul Frees' voice as the Auctioneer was a great one. If he was still around though, I'm sure he would've redone those lines. But yea, i see where you're coming from. Walt's rolling in his grave as we speak
i think the lines should've been like this
Pirates: "we wants the redhead"
Female Pirate: "i ain't no plunder muttonheads, now get movin' or else"
(Female Pirate Shoots Gun W/ Sound Effect)
alternate lines can be like this
Female Pirate: "keep movin' boys, there will be enough for none of you, for my name isn't, Anne Bonny!"
Female Pirate: "don't make me stuff my corset down your throats"
Female Pirate: "I see you lookin' boys, but first, get movin'!"
i think these would make for better lines in my opinion, it matches the tone of the original, and i think the character should be anne bonny, the original female pirate, and they could've made the brides into other pirates with the right designs
Another amazing video dude, keep up the awesome work! Also love the shoutout to the Shanghai pirates ride. Can’t wait for the next video.
Seriously the Jack Sparrow love feast needs to end someday.
Mainly because i think Disney is no longer interested in this franchise to begin with and also the fact that the fifth movie really sucked out any leftover good will, people still had with the character and sadly the actor as well.
Also the movie tie ins don't really make sense with the still original 1960s elements of the old story
disneylandw noo
It's already over. Disney confirmed he will not be in the next movie.
@@Floridafanatic28 Idk about that. There's contradictory claims about what's going on with it. Some say that there'll be a sixth film. Some are saying that there will be a reboot. It is up in the air.
Disney may make a return to it however with Marvel wrapped up and Star Wars wrapping up for the time being.
@@hanniballecter4283 Doesn't mean the film series won't go on, it just means that HE won't be in it.
@@Floridafanatic28 they can save their money,they killed my beloved Barbossa again
Ohhh the "new" octopus scene makes more sense. It's a return to form. Thank you. Again, informative and well made
i miss the old one
I'm inclined to question the sensibility of making pirates 'PC' considering there's literally nothing PC about pirates in the first place.
Especially the 'bride auction', I'm almost certain that was supposed to be an uncomfortable thing to begin with because... it's an uncomfortable thing to begin with.
just casually looking at a lifelike animatronic of himself. . .anyone else would have been way too freaked out to stand that close to a recreation of themselves.
Alright, I waited till the end of pt. 2 to post this just to make sure you weren't going to mention it - and maybe that's totally intentional as it could be inappropriate for the channel. But when I was a kid in the 90's, during the burning village portion of the ride, I clearly remember seeing a Menorah (a lampstand usually associated with Judaism) ON FIRE in one of the windows. It was tough to spot and fairly hidden, but if you knew where to look, it was obvious.
Even as a kid I knew there was something sinister about it. I started looking out for it on every trip we took to the park - about 5 or 10 years down the road (early 2000s?) it was gone, and the window was empty and I think no longer even on fire.
Is there any documentation or background on this?
It was removed between 2013-2014. There's photos of it on Google!
I would loooooove to see Shanghai's version. The technology looks incredible!
1:00 Welp, that escalated quickly.
At 3:45 makes me laugh every time I watch this video
This was really interesting and I'm enjoying all your videos. Great subject matter thoroughly presented!
The thing about newcomers demanding the source material conform to their limited experiences with the franchise is an all too real and naturally occurring event in reality. When something has been around for a while, but then gets a huge popularity spike, it will inevitably result in the newcomers believing they should be catered to, as vain and vapid as they are, demand instant gratification on any whim that strikes them. Another example is how movie-adaptations of, for instance, comic books, usually results in the comic books changing to conform to the new movies, like how most if not all X-Men for a time wore generic full-black body suits devoid of other colors. I won't be surprised if Thanos now starts dressing like a dock worker in Marvel Comics because of Infinity War.
There's nothing wrong with changing features on a ride as long as it has the same feel. I went to Disneyland the years before and after the additions and while not a huge fan of the movies, I enjoyed both the old and new.
Imo they should add a groom auction scene for the sake of equality
My only visit to Disneyland, or any Disney park for that matter, was in 2004 when I was 16. I got to see the attraction before the change was made to the movie theming. I love watching these videos about Disneyland/World despite only going to Land once. I really need to get to Disney World some point in my life, but flights to Orlando from Denver are expensive, plus the cost of admissions and such. I'm jealous of those that live close enough to the parks or have the money to see the parks regularly.
Here's a fun fact I'd like to toss in: As of the big refurbishment that added all the movie elements, know who does the voice of the skull at the cavern entrance who warns you of squalls ahead and tells you to keep your arms and legs in the boat? That's James Arnold Taylor, the voice double for Michael J. Fox, and better known as the voice of Ratchet, Johnny Test, Tidus from Final Fantasy 10, Fred Flintstone in newer cartoons, and Captain Jack Sparrow himself in the Kingdom Hearts games.
I miss the davy jones smoke!
What I think is you can’t please anybody, instead of appreciating the old with the new and the differences they have to complain about it which is sad.
7 years ago I went on this ride with much excitement. Only for Jack Sparrow’s left eye at the final scene to be nonfunctional, causing the animatronic to have a lazy eye. And honestly it was great. 😂
Am I early? I think I’m early. I’ll come back later. Do u want me to leave the light switch on?
I don't know if auctioning off women was a thing real historical pirates did or just a fictionalised version but, in either case, the pirates are supposed to be the bad guys so it's acceptable to show them behaving badly towards the townsfolk. You're supposed to be thinking, "Auctioning slave brides? Aren't these pirates an unscrupulous, reprehensible bunch of scoundrels?" Not, "Ooh, that's a good idea, I think I'll kidnap a group of women and sell them at auction for money!" And if it was thought unsuitable for children, why did they include it in the first place?
The new redhead character is cool but if they wanted to change it, they should have scrapped the auction idea altogether and given her a completely different role, it's a lazy change as the new auction doesn't even make sense, what would pirates want with oil paintings and grandfather clocks?
I'm not really a nostalgic person, but I do think it sucks that all the changes were made, as this is meant to capture a time period. Of course women were chased around and sold off, this is not supposed to represent 2018 and how we now know to treat women and stuff. It would be like having an attraction about the civil war but erasing all references to slavery because it's not pleasant to think about.
I remember being creeped out by this ride as a kid, there was something dark and unsettling about it where it didn't feel safe - like knowing the pirates in the ship scene were animatronic, but there's still a possibility that we could get hit.. What was especially creepy were the old voices, the warm analog old tape sound of them added to the creepiness. I dig that stuff, but whatever, it's for kids to enjoy now so if that's what they want, good on them I guess.
QueeferSutherland
The thing is the ride is not meant to be a historically accurate portrayal but a romanticized version. Pirates in real life, even back then, are very different from how we view them in pop culture, we just pick and choose what's cool and just keep those. When something questionable is added it's because that part was specifically chosen as something cool to keep around. Violence specifically towards woman has been going out of fashion to say the least so if we were to continue showing that aspect it that would be very troubling.
Brian Z You're telling me that buying ye self a wench isn't romantic?
welcome to 2008 and beyond. Thank Obama for the overly PC society we live in who can't deal with even the slightest offense.
Hugh Egg yeah, no. What a dumb Faux News mentality.
Brian Z well pirates isnt supposed to be a historical representation of course but we have a man being tortured in the scene right before and arson not far after, not to mention the constant alcoholism and violence shown throughout the ride and all of these have no place in our society yet no one wants to bring these up as a problem when they are just as bad. It comes of hypocritical to attack the auction scene but not the others also i haven't once heard anyone complain about the scene before the change was announced and no woman i personally know has had a problem with, hell my GF is personally really sad it's leaving. I think most people realize that the stuff shown in pirates is wrong and that even in their pop culture form they are almost always seen as villains so showing them doing awfull things is gonna happen. This really seems like outrage for outrages sake and not a actually needed change.
8:06 - sounds like C3P0 translating
If Jack was only placed at the end of the ride, it would’ve been Ok but throughout the ride, it’s too much.
F. N. Lorter noo
With Shanghai’s version being a complete and utter aberration, just like the Shanghai park itself.
The ride definitely jumped the shark with the PC additions and the movie as well.
While I much prefer the original elements (as I experienced as a child) I don't really mind the narrative changes or the inclusion of Johnny Depp. What I absolutely hate the obnoxious and distracting background music that was added. It made the beginning far less spooky and mysterious and I can't even hear what Barbossa is saying! The Davy Jones inclusion also needed to die a horrible fiery death because did not fit with the theming AT ALL.
dogfishrulez yup
Yes, you can't heard Geoffrey Rush,s wonderful voice
5:49 seriously thought that was actually Johnny until the animatronic turned towards the camera, woah
Okay, the women chasing off the pirates with frying pans & rolling pins was just harmless comedy. But auctioning off the town people's goods (the stuff they just stole) was freaking stupid. But the worst mistake is remaking the ride to be more like the increasingly terrible movies.
7:26 something I always thought, not a problem, but the stark contrast was noticeable.
“We wants the redhead!”
I'm so used to Magic Kingdom's POTC that it was very cool to see how the changes affected Disneyland's ride and how different it is compared to ours. Though I guess we got Red the Pirate first in the new update, which I think is cool but I'm gonna keep saying 'We want the Red-head!" still when I go on it lol
I never been in the original but I loved the ride with Jack 😁
I can vaguely remember the pre 1997 Pirates ride. Crazy memories
Those robotics are something to be admired.
I was born 2 months after Pirates of the Caribbean opened. I lived 10 miles from Disney Land my entire young life. So I'm some what of a Disney Land expert. Ive literally been there nearly a thousand times. And I never missed a chance to ride Pirates. I'm saying all this to say that I love the changes. They did a great job.
And I, same as the ride it self, have changed over the years.
Change is good. 😁😁😁😁
I'm always bothered by the complaint that Jack Sparrow's animatronics look "too realistic" compared to the other cartoonish pirates - because one of the most frustrating aspects of old Disney character design is that lead characters (with a heavy bias towards any female characters meant to be "beautiful" in general, regardless of role) have always looked more realistic compared to cartoonish side characters. It feels really hollow and shows a lack of awareness about Disney to complain about something like that.
I really love Thur ( I think that’s how you spell his name?) he is one of my favorites and I wish we was at the end again
So many good edits from the movie hahaha and the lonely island bit was so perfect 😂😂😂
I remember riding POTC as a child in the early 90s on family trips to Disneyland. I rode it again a few years later as a young adult and bore witness to all the PC changes to the ride. To me, it no longer held the same exciting flare and factual depiction that it once had.
As of April 2018 the bride auction scene at Disneyland Anaheim is STILL there
Can you imagine being so lame that you go to Disney city hall to complain that an iconic Disney ride doesn’t have updates from a brand new movie? Wow people are pathetic
You didn't mention that Barbossa was recently changed to wear his Privateer outfit at Magic Kingdom. I dig anything that pays respect to the seriously underrated On Stranger Tides.
While I will forever miss the more grown up elements that the bride auction and lustful elements brought to this ride, as long as the Ghost Host still challenges us to "Find a Way Out", I'll be happy.
LegolasNordark Thank goodness the Eddie Murphy “Haunted Mansion” bombed. Could you imagine if they had to redub Madame Leota with the actress from the movie?
That was added actually.
After a lot of soul searching, I've come to terms with this change, and I don't think it's something to appease SJWs. Disney is meant to be a place for escapist entertainment, somewhere where we can go with our favorite characters on an adventure. When Walt opened the park, it was a mix of that and educational exibits, and the initial iteration of Pirates was more of the latter, with the hedonistic immoral pirates pillaging the town, raping the women, and in the end they pay for it by getting drunk and burning to death. But ever since the movies came out, we've switched sides, so now we're rooting for the pirates. I loved the initial vague storytelling of the life of the Scarlet Pirate Queen, and how it was delivered, being subtle and open to interpretation, and I will deeply miss it. But as a place that caters more twords kids, Disney needs to focus on a sense of going on an adventure; fun entertainment that will create memories. Let the kids learn the truth about how Pirates acted in 5-7 years when their in middle school. In the end I'm just surprised the auction scene lasted as long as it did.
Yeah the ghost host...but what about the heartbeat bride...now it's the hatchet murderer bride....SMH nonplace to put in top hat box ghost now
Just watch, someday a bunch of SJWs who weren't offended by it before will suddenly take issue with the hanging corpse and lightning effect, whining loud enough about how the scene could trigger people with suicidal thoughts and give people with epilepsy seizures that the Ghost Host's "way out" becomes nothing but the actual door into the portrait hall.
So weird being this early. Great video!
They need to bring it back
They already crossed the line changing the action scene and they can never go back
Yes they absolutely can go back and will go back.
Rides of this nature should be given a Disney historic landmark! Leave the classic ride alone... go build another movie pirate ride and leave what didn't need fixing alone! The worlds gotten too politically correct 😞
love your content!
The Shanghai version seems rather fun and interesting, in any case there is quite impressive effect for an attraction.
That jack sparrow animatronic is so realistic looking it’s scary
I was at Disney World a few days ago and they didnt have the mist with davey jones.
"Just because something works doesn't mean it can't be improved" - Shurri
If I would build a new disney park, I would make it so the original pirates and the shanghai one can be in the same park
