And now, thanks to raptor, we've got lots of screencaps from the "Behind The Ride That Almost Was with Disney Imagineers" featurette on the new Little Mermaid dvd.  I won't repost them all here, but they're really really worth checking out:

Beauty and the Beast was supposed to be an Audio-Animatronic show, with a live Belle singing with the animatronics.  It was supposed to go next to the Fantasyland gate.

Quote from: "raptor1982"Beauty and the Beast was supposed to be an Audio-Animatronic show, with a live Belle singing with the animatronics.  It was supposed to go next to the Fantasyland gate.

Might that woman who plays Belle will be sick of singing with them?  :?

Or they'll swap over every 10 minutes.

You know, people were saying that the Little Mermaid ride would never get built at Disneyland Paris now, because of Crush's Coaster. But, from the looks of things, they aren't that similar at all. The "dry-for-wet" technology in Crush's Coaster seems to be non-existent. So, maybe there's a chance of the Little Mermaid being built afterall?

Btw, check out Tony Baxter's house in that DVD screen capture. Pretty nice Fantasyland decor he has going on there :-)

I had no idea they were going to build a Beauty and the Beast ride! That would have been amazing!

But I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see the Little Mermaid ride get built. That would be the best. I mean, I know there are lots of people who may love it, I would prefer to have a Little Mermaid / Beauty and the Beast ride rather than the Pinoccio one the have. Thats just my opinion though  :)

But Wow to all those pics! Some fantastic stuff!  :shock:  :D

FANTASYLAND IS KIND OF FULL...
Well, if I look at this, they could build it right there?
Near It's a Small world: http://www.dlrpmagic.com/today/2006/10/ ... aid-01.jpg

But, I don't know if It's a Small World is useful. Well, that's my opinion, but would it be nicer if The Little Mermaid would be in that building? Because I never saw It's a Small world as a fairytale, but just as an production of FranceTelecom®.
It's just, 'putted there' :(  .

Than you'll have the space for even more fairytales  :P .

Bye, MSW

Theres all the history behind its a small world though isnt there? Its not just here becuase of FranceTelecom®. But because of Walts concept and how it was put together for the original (please excuse me if I am wrong) World trade fair in New York c. 1965 I think. Anyway, Walt was ask to "throw something together" to promote Pepsi and Is a Small world is what he came up with!

I would still love to see the Ariel ride though. We do need another classic princess theme ride.
