The composer of the "Big Bad Wolf" movie music

Here is an interesting exchange of ideas to Walt as he hears the Russian PROKOFIEV play the composition he wrote for the big bad wolf for the very first time. You can just see the ideas churning in Walt's head as he listens to the music.

Aging and Graining

Every wonder how they do the textures and the paint jobs at the park that look so real that you don't even question that it's wood or rock. Well most of the time it's not, and it takes special artists called agers and grainers who do this for a living.

Model Railroading unlimited

Captain EO

Opening in 1986, produced by George Lucas, directed by Francis Ford Coppola and costing in the neighborhood of $30 million for this 17 minute flick, Captain EO pushed the 3D effects of the time to the limit. By todays standards it almost looks silly but there are some parts that still hold up a little. Well Here it is a 3D show in all it's 2D glory in these two clips. Hopefully it will bring back some memories. I just remember it being super loud back in the day when I used to see it. I remember always hearing it thumping before we even entered the theater.

Pirates Paris

When Walt created POTC he thought a backwards dream sequence was the way to do this show and it shows today in that same form. In Disneyland Paris the Pirate's starts out pulling you up a waterfall and then dropping you down a waterfall into the living swashbuckling times. So you work your way through the battle scene and the dunk scene and then finally to the treasure scene with dead the skeletons. Here is an interesting clip showing some of the ride from Disneyland Paris. It's in nightvision and a little dark but it shows most of the show pretty well. Enjoy
