Speaking of Disneyland Paris, Photos Magiques has video of the entire “Winnie the Pooh and Friends, Too” show. This is a stage show shown in Disneyland Paris. The file format is wmv and I haven’t tested it on a mac. It is 33.1 MB in size and runs 24 minutes and 7 seconds. The audio quality is poor but it sounds like they switch between French and English. Either way, it looks like fun.

DLAP.fr has a 9 minute and 39 second video of the Wishes Fireworks show from Disneyland Paris (beware its 86.2 MB - Large Download). I was surprised at how they combined the fireworks with a light show projected on Sleeping Beauty’s Castle. The fireworks were definitely in support of the light show and not the other way around. Must be a cultural difference?

Disneygeek has some pictures posted from this last weekend of the Cars Meet and Greet in Disney’s California Adventure. I’m not sure how long they are going to have the Cars there but I would love to see them in person - the trip is in December and I am crossing my fingers they will still be there.

I should add that they made actual cars from the characters Lighting McQueen and Tow Mater. I believe in one of the video podcasts that Pixar put out about Cars before the movie was released, they showed the process of turning these characters into cars. If you have a chance, check it out.

The Sorcerer’s Workshop has a great page dedicated to the 1974 Circle-Vision Exit Lobby Character Phones. As you exited the America the Beautiful show, the lobby had tons of phones that you could pick up and call different characters to talk with them.

Listen to calls from:

• Mickey Mouse
• Grumpy
• Goofy
• Snow White
• Jiminy Cricket
• Donald Duck
• Your Bell Telephone Operator

The Disney Blog pointed me over to the Upcoming Pixar blog which has three videos, One is a pardy of the Pixar logo, two are interview type shows featuring John Lasseter.

Kristofke over at the WDW forums has posted some pics from their recent trip to Disneyland Paris. I have never been but the look and feel of the submarine pictures remind me of my trip to DisneySea in Tokyo.

Filmed with an old 8MM video camera, this vintage video is of Disneyland in 1967. I wish there was audio to go with it but the sights of Disneyland and the patrons make it well worth the watch. Danielle found this footage while going though some old video her dad took - sounds like it was shot before she was born.

Broadway.com has a video from the opening night of the new Broadway show, Tarzan. The video is well produced and shows scenes from the show as well as interviews with the actors and directors. Phil Collins was in attendance and interviewed in the video. It would be awesome to see in person. If anyone has, shoot me an email.

In 2003, Lucky the Dinosaur was on trial at Disney’s California Adventure. Mouseplanet has photos and video of it (scroll past the pictures for videos). Lucky is the only free movement audio animatronic that I know of. As you can see, he was capable of walking around the park and interacting with the crowds.

Lucky has since made his home at the Animal Kingdom in Walt Disney World. This video shows him there interacting with the cast members.

Aladdin Central has 5 MP3 files available for download before August 1st. Three are Aladdin specific and the other two are Cinderella’s Carousel and The Enchanted Tiki Room (Under New Management - WDW version).

This is some of the best vintage video I have seen yet. The video starts of an aerial shot of Disneyland before the park opened - while it was under construction. Apparently, Mell Kilpatrick stood on the wing of an airplane to get these shots. It then shows the Mark Twain getting some final paint and then shots after the park opened. Be sure to check out the Ape Pen Publishing page where this video is hosted and their newly designed ApePenPublishing.com.

Here is part 2 of the Frontierland video. I love the footage from the Golden Horseshoe.
