Love the nod to Toland and Citizen Kane. Only if it was Welles directing you would have left half the detail in shadow as suggestion instead of making the image about how much was spent on the room, leaving nothing to the imagination. That was what made Herbert Ryman a great artist, we was a student of impressionism, so we could see the hints of detail as signposts and add our imagination to finish the picture.

You have much knowledge. I would love to hear more about your personal opinions on the different attractions and parks! And I TOTALLY agree with you on Wall-E being the ONLY Pixar film that belongs in Tomorrowland! Wow, mfeige. You have much knowledge. I would love to hear more about your personal opinions on the different attractions and parks! And I TOTALLY agree with you on Wall-E being the ONLY Pixar film that belongs in Tomorrowland!

When you asked on Twitter about what you should write about I felt compelled to answer because I knew there was an article I desperately wanted someone to write, but I just couldn't put my finger on it. Although I like the suggestions I initially gave. I really want an in-depth article or a book about Walt Disney Feature Animation Florida. I'm really interested in the atmosphere, the talent, the fact that they created some of the best of Disney's post renaissance movies and yet were shut down in 2004. I want to know about what kind of work they did on the films of the Disney Renaissance. My interest in this started with my love for Disney's MGM studios, not for what it is, but for what it was. I mainly love the front non-studio section of the park. I'm also extremely interested in the Original back-lot tour and the times when actual filming went on there. One of the websites that really piqued my interest was this one. It's absolutely great and gives a personal insight into what it was like to a part of WDFAF:http://www.jyjackson2.com/WDFAF/Welcome.html I haven't had a chance to explore the whole site or watch all the videos, but I've watched about half of them some are mundane some are not, but they are absolutely all a picture of the time period. As a side note, if you want some semi-vague non-japanese understanding memories of the Castle Adventure in Japan I can help you. When I went on it 5-ish years ago I didn't even know what the Black Cauldron was. It's been a little difficult for me to get my hands on so I haven't seen it now although I'm attempting to watch all of Disney's feature animation films in chronological order. So I can't connect what I saw with that. I remember some scenes vividly, the climax for example, but some scenes almost not at all. I do remember being jealous I wasn't the audience member chosen to be the hero/star of the show. Although I didn't speak or understand Japanese so that would've been near impossible. Random Note: As Tokyo Disney was my home resort for a few years I am very sad to see the bastardization of it's pristine theming. (or mostly pristine at least) Although I wouldn't mine if they stuck a Coney Island sign over the carnival-y stuff. Although it would be a kind of vomit inducing oxymoron as Disney Parks is everything Coney Island could never and will never be. I always yearned for the Mickey Mouse Revue as well as I missed it or have completely forgotten it from my younger years at WDW, but every review of it I've seen has called it creepy and the view inside pictures second that motion. Meet The World on the other hand has one of my favorite Sherman Brothers Songs and I am sad that I missed that. Speaking of Meet the World, the fact that it was replaced by Monster's Inc doesn't make any sense. WILL SOMONE EXPLAIN THAT THE ONLY PIXAR FILM THAT BELONGS IN TOMORROWLAND IS WALL-E. Sorry had to get that off my chest. Anyway I absolutely love the site! Keep up the great work. Matt A couple notes.
