Welcome to TPMvids Disney beat where we talk about all things Disney and
Well this channel hit 100,000 subscribers, and thats just crazy!
So a big thank you to everyone who’s subscribed so far and keeps coming back week after week
to watch the videos.
And this is just the beginning!
One thing that always pops up in the comment section is what Does TPM stand for?
Well it stands for Theme Parks & More since I’m a huge Disney & Theme Park fan, like
many of you watching this video right now.
And you can definitely expect more Theme Park, more Disney & more Entertainment related videos
to keep coming.
Now TPMvids isn’t your typical Top 10 countdown channel which you’ve probably already noticed.
Every video is aimed to educate, entertain and start a conversation, providing you with
as many facts, historical context & background information about the variety of topics that
get discussed; And there’s been some really great stories shared and discussions started
in the comments so, keep that all coming!
Something that’s never been shared in a video is that TPMvids does have Twitter, so
if you wanna follow you can at TPMvideos.
TPMvids was already taken.
Now the best way to celebrate 100,000 subscribers on TPMvids would be to take a look at some
more Disney fails, cause we all love a good Disney fail, right?
And this video is also gonna give us a chance to tie up lose ends from some of the past
video topics on the channel.
So today, we’re gonna be counting down the top 10 Disney Fails & Bloopers- Part 7
Number 10- Mickey’s Lift Malfunction At Tokyo Disneyland, there’s a stage show
in Tomorrowland called One Man’s Dream II: The Magic Lives On. and like a lot Disney
Theme Park shows, it ends with a grand reveal of Mickey Mouse.
Well the finale in One Man’s Dream has Mickey rising through the ground on a platform while
everyone sings the praises of Mickey Mouse.
{Singing} Mickey Mouse!
Mickey Mouse!
Well thats when things go to plan, but sometimes it just doesn’t work out and Mickey gets
stuck.
Even Mickey’s a little confused with whats going on.
You can see him look down at the lift wondering if its actually gonna move
Aaaand just like that the show abruptly ends.
Can we also just talk about how some of those dancers just gracefully booked it behind the
curtain when they saw it closing.
Because this is actual choreography.
And thats what they did.
Well done.
Number 9- Donald Spills If you remember in our Top 10 Chip & Dale
Dale Fails Video, we mentioned that for some reason at the overseas parks, the Chipmunks
have really high energy and would fall all the time.
Well the really high energy seems to also apply for all the Disney characters overseas.
Donald Duck is the next character to catch the falling bug.
Wait…are those cast members spraying the audience with water?
What goes on in Tokyo?
Number 8- Daisy’s Lazy Eye So in our last video talking about the Evolution
of the Articulated Disney characters, we showed a clip from the Disney Live!
production of Mickey’s Magic Show.
Well after the video was uploaded, I noticed Daisy’s eye was a little lazy, and well,
it wasn’t articulated.
She even tries to lift her eye lid back up but it eventually fails again.
And it appears that her mouth wasn’t working either.
Clearly there was an issue and Like we said in last week’s video, when the articulated
characters were first introduced they were more like puppets.
So the mechanisms that control the eye and mouth movements most likely failed and malfunctioned,
and could have potentially caused some visibility issues.
Number 7- The good old Parade Push If you’ve seen the Soundsational parade
at DIsneyland before you’d know that its pretty typical for the floats to break down.
Anytime a float does break down, cast members are quick to arrive at the scene.
It’s like they’re all hiding near by, waiting for something to happen
you know what…yea they probably are.
Here, the crab unit breaks down.
Now sometimes they bring a tractor along to push the float for the remainder of the parade
route but sometimes with these smaller floats, they’ll get pushed by a cast member…..or
multiple cast members.
Okay quick, lets play a game…how many cast members do you think its gonna take to help
push this float?
Give you a second…okay lets find out.
One, two, three, four…oh wait we’re not done.
Number 1 leaves, red vest taps in.
Number one comes back.
In the end a total of five cast members.
So who guessed that right?
Leave a comment bellow!
Number 6- Mickey and the Unmagical Map Mickey and the Magical Map is a show that
opened in 2013 at Disneyland.
The show includes effects that require very precise timing for everything to appear seamless.
In one of the scenes, Mickey’s supposed to get sucked into the map going from appearing
in real life to then appearing on the screens in the map.
Obviously this uses a trap door to lower Mickey, but as we know, technology does fail causing
some issues.
{Crowd} Bye!
Bye!
Bye Mickey.
Nice try!
Good effort!
At least the crowds always on Mickey’s side
Number 5- Muppet Mobile Lab So in the Top 5 Extinct Animatronic Attractions
video there were quite a few comments asking why Muppet Mobile Lab wasn’t mentioned.
Well that’s because Muppet Mobile Lab isn’t extinct.
For those of you that don’t know, Muppet Mobile Lab is the only animatronic type figure
to live on in the Disney parks as part of Disney’s Living Character initiative.
It was introduced in 2007 then in Sept of 2016 it found its unofficial permanent home
at Epcot.
The Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker characters are animatronic figures controlled by a cast
member.
{Dr. Bunsen Honeydew} Alright Beaker prepare the chicken launch.
There’s 8 cameras concealed on the unit which allows the controller to make eye contact,
interact and speak directly with the guests.
Since the unit is mobile, it would have to be battery powered, but what happens when
the battery dies or connection with the controller is lost?
Well it would probably be something along the lines of this:
Now in our research, it said that Muppet Mobile Lab is controlled by someone in a remote location
miles away from the show site.
But in this video, the man wearing the green shirt seems to be a cast member in disguise.
So a cast member on site could also very well have some part in controlling the unit.
As of right now Muppet Mobile Lab doesn’t have a set schedule posted anywhere and Disney
doesn’t even list the attraction on their website.
But it does perform daily around noon or so behind spaceship Earth at Epcot, where this
doesn’t normally happen.
Number 4- Stormtrooper Face Plant So one of the very first Top 10 videos on
the channel was the Top 10 Funny Jedi Training Academy moments.
Well more and more Star Wars videos keep popping up from Walt Disney World and Disneyland and
like the others this one here doesn’t disappoint.
{Crowd} Ohhhhh…
This Storm trooper is like what the heck dude, we got places to go.
Move.
This is also one of those fails that deserves a look in slow motion, so lets rewind back
and take a look.
Quick recovery through from that cast member.
Good job Disney.
Number 3- Hat’s Away There’s a little show at Tokyo Disneyland
that we’ve mentioned before called Minnie!
Oh!
Minnie!
This show seems to be a gold mine for bloopers and fails, and this time, Goofy gets himself
into a slight wardrobe malfunction.
So Goofy’s doing his dance, then decides to test the limits on how crazy he can move
before his hat falls off.
It always seemed like the removable hats on Goofy were magnetic, but if you take a look
at this one, it looks like its just black velcro which really doesn't seem to be as
secure as magnets.
Like what they used in Dream along with Mickey.
But luckily this fail fits in with Goofy’s goofy personality.
Number 2- Mickey Face Plants At the Walt Disney Studios park in Disneyland
Paris there’s a show called Mickey and the Magician, not to be confused with Mickey’s
Magic Show or Mickey and the Magical Map.
As you can see Disney really likes to use the words Mickey and some variation of magic
in their show titles.
Well the show in Paris has a lion king segment, and in that segment Mickey goes to chase an
ostrich off stage.
Well you can see where this is going.
The clip cuts off so abruptly because it was a mutli-cam video, but apparently the clip
is from the 2nd day of shows.
When you look at future performances shortly after opening day, you can see that Mickey
pays a little extra attention to the platform before he runs off stage.
Also, it appears that after Mickey’s fall, his mouth and eye articulation begin to malfunction
and just stops working all together.
Number 1- Off With His Head This is the Disneyland Parade in 1969.
It’s really interesting to see how some of the character looks have evolved so much
since then and how some of them haven’t really changed at all like the white rabbit
from Alice in wonderland….
Now the Queen of Hearts said it best!
{Queen of Hearts} Off with his head!
Well I don’t think she was talking about the white rabbit but lets pretend she was.
Just wanna point out how none of the people sitting on the curb reacted when this happened.
The only one that actually reacts is The Walrus while everyone else is completely phased out.
Maybe it was more common than we think for this to happen in the olden days of Disneyland;
who knows.
But since this was so long ago, it feels like it isn't the real world of Disney like we
know it today.
If this clip was shot in 2017 using HD resolution, it would evoke a much different feeling of
magic being lost.
Since its so far back in Disney history, its like the grainy-ness of the footage creates
this barrier between the past and the current Disney of today.
So which blooper was your favorite?
and have you ever witnessed a fail or blooper while you were at the park?
