I was only 3 when it came out, (I have some VERY early memories, I know it's odd) but I actually remember going to see it with my mom in theater! Was such a cool experience, as I think it was my first time going to a movie. We went out for food after and I got the Pegasus collector plate. 😄

Movie is just Cats Don't Dance, The Legend of Hercules TV show, Anastasia the Don Bluth Movie, Superman the Animated Series, Rocky, and Space Jam combined.

[@fenrir-art4742]

I use to like movie a lot when I was younger. Sadly, I am not impressed with it now after the stupid things that went on with story. I did enjoy Susan Egan and I use to be her friend and met her in person.

THE ELECTRICAL PARADE!!!

[@disneydanny2]

and the last time the Diamond Mine float or both Pleasure Island floats would be seen in the United States for 12 years (after this run, those 3 floats were sent to Paris.)

[@disneydanny2]

and for those who have watched videos of the original Tokyo Disneyland Electrical parade and noticed *THEY* had a Dwarf Mine float, you might be asking yourselves, :Why Didn't Paris take Tokyo's so Florida could have had the whole section in the 1999-2001 run?" Apparently the Swans were the only section from their version in good enough condition to go to Paris.

Back when Tate Donovan dated Jennifer Aniston.

I just saw Tate in Respect last week with Jennifer Hudson. I didn't recognize him for a second
