Distory w/ Kate & Kirk Ep. 110: Snow White Part 3: Making Snow White's Scary Adventures
What was the real reason Disneyland’s Fantasyland rides were expanded in 1983?
In this episode of Distory, we time travel to Disneyland in the early 1980s to look at some original WED Imagineering documents that tell the story of New Fantasyland’s construction, including Snow White’s Scary Adventures. From demolition to the inspiration for the new design, we discuss the changes from Walt’s Fantasyland to the updated version before heading inside the attraction to find a (purposefully) frightening queue, a fascinating (for Kirk) stump, and an early ride concept that didn’t actually come to pass. In the dwarf's cottage, Kate gets on several soapboxes, we marvel at the dwarf’s shaving rituals, and Kirk enlightens us about the unique candle holder that Snow White is carrying as she heads to bed.
(Note: We had to pause this episode earlier than planned due to some unpredictable weather knocking out our wifi, but we will be back after D23 with the rest of Disneyland's Snow White’s Scary Adventures!)

Why do Disney’s Snow White rides have so many dungeon scenes? In this episode of Distory, we continue our Snow White series by braving the original Disneyland Snow White ride called Snow White and Her Adventures (or Snow White’s Adventures, it didn’t seem to matter much back then, so pick your favorite). After seeing some concept art that doesn’t stray too far from the feature film, we hear fro...

Be so fr its not rhat deep - if they fixed it it would look so wack and boring thats how theme parks are, if your angry over it you should probably talk to a professional about it
Is it bad I don't see anything super wrong with those jokes??😃
Why do ppl keep giving them money?
I wish they had kept the veil look, I always thought that looked so cute
Would be cool if they could make his little head move back and forth. Probably more expensive than it might be worth. But would be a nice touch.
I love your historic videos ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Design moved from cartoon to more realistic - but didn't want her to look mature 🤦😑
The show where a dragon burned itself
It had a good long run before that happened 🥺
Fun fact!: Grim Natwick has a character name after him in the game rubberhose styled game, Cuphead. There is a character named Grim Matchstick who is an anthropomorphic dragon
That’s interesting!
Greatest contradiction is that the whole park is located in the middle of Florida.
My grandmother lived across the street from Disneyland, and I grew up in Los Angeles. We went to Disneyland for every holiday growing up beginning when I was born in 1971. Even when we moved away, we went to Disneyland twice a year. I went there for my honeymoon. As the tickets got more expensive, the less we went. My kids only got to attend once because it was all we could afford. That being said, I never once heard these jokes being used in the Jungle Cruise. Each skipper said different jokes. My favorite was always the joke of the tribal dancing that was called the "I have to go to the bathroom dance," which they did take out completely. I now live closer to Disney World than Disneyland. I haven't been there yet, but a friend who lives near me in Ohio go to Disney World every year growing up with her family, same as mine did going to Disneyland.
Yes at Disneyland there was a structure for the Sky Way Tram at the planter area and why it seems wierd it doesn't have a better line right there.
Here we gooooo
It's one of the best scenes in the movie. Such a cute little guy. He's also in the washing scene when Snow White cleans the house. It's small things like this that made the movie work. Small little comic beats and gags. We won't see things like this in the upcoming live action retelling of the story. Unless of course the director reconizes this little turtle for the star he truely is. Let's hope he gets a spot in the new movie going March 2025.
Oh I wish. I hope he’s in there 🐢🤞🏻
I love your vids since i am learning so much obscure disney knowledge! Can you do some more short videos on the disney villans or a video on Stitch? I love the little guy! Maybe because he reminds me of me. Tiny but fierce.
I’ve been working on some with the Evil Queen. I’ve been deep into Snow White research recently because of our Distory with Kate & Kirk podcast series on Snow White 😂
00:27 THAT'S ARIEL'S DRESS😮😮😮
To be honest I never liked her design, I don't know why, just didn't like as much as the other princesses (probably was the colors). If her outfit was more like that one in a pink dress I think I would like it much more. Just personal opinion tho, I feel like she's the one I cared the less about as a kid
The veil dresses were closer to it's time, I think.
Technically Grim didn’t come up with the stairs scene himself, but because the turtle idea was his, Walt gave him the $50 bonus. Some gags were worth more than others, ranging from about $5-50 if they were used in the final feature. The bonus was incentive for the animators to work quickly and come up with amusing action that helped move the plot along. “We always had one in our pants pocket when we were kids, a frog or a turtle or something. So I made a lot of sketches of turtles doing different things, and they made a lot of use of it… I don’t remember what I drew, but they wrote it in right into the story and used him for a scrub board. He was still going up the stairs when they started running down and he toppled over and skidded out of the house.” - Grim Natwick This story came from an obscure interview with Grim Natwick conducted by David Johnson about the animator’s career and work on Snow White.
@@disneycicerone I love watching your clips. I've been a Disney fan for all of my 54 years, and you keep showing me even more things to explore and love ❤️ Thank you 🥰
Hello again I commented on your video yesterday and I was wondering if we could do a Collab on some different tips and secrets I know
Wait, if they were all the same height and they put Snow White in the back, she would look smaller and the dwarves in the front would look larger, the opposite of what they wanted?!
I wish they kept her veiled tiara, it’s so pretty!
love this channel
🥰🥰
Jesus loves you! God bless! 🩵
The making her to mature line is wild when you consider she was 14. Maybe more (as in aging her up) would have been good
That's funny to learn about the ride, when the movie itself was barely a story. It was a series of encounters, and I'm fairly sure it was almost made without an overarching story. It's my favorite fantasy land ride too. I didn't get to ride it my last visit, I'd love to see how updated it's been since ... Oof 20 years since I've been on it I think.
The way the movie was created was different animators created different scenes without much cohesion between them, which is why it’s like a series of shorts rather than a movie with a well-devised plot. Walt and the animation team actually hated making it because it wasn’t an emotionally compelling story and it was frustrating to have to adhere to the book so much (to try to appease those who prefer the original version).
@@disneycicerone I'd actually like like to see more similar but broken up content now that streaming makes it easier to release stuff that isn't full length theatrical release. Similar to the original Oz movies before the Judy Garland one.
And now it’s a plastic bayou that doesn’t work.
Any plans to make any shorts about MK's Rivers/Steamboat/Tom Sawyer Island? 🥲
I actually included a ton about it in my book I’m currently writing so I’ll have to pull some of it for some posts 😂
I LOVE SNOW WHITE, shes my absolute favorite.. i dont care if people wanna justify her "weak character" in the new remake she will always be Snow white
What if there was a time traveler?! (I am fully joking xD)
You just have very little else that worries you in your life, for this to make you "irrationally angry," and I would recommend counting your blessings while you complain about cracks in the imaginary world you stay in.
Sometimes I like to think about simpler problems than bigger ones that are harder to sort out in the “real world.” Having an interest in something doesn’t make me any less grateful for the life I have. 🤷♀️
LOVE this ride.
I actually like a lot of that concept art better than her final design.
And to this day I still haven’t seen the whole movie. Every time I tried to watch it her singing put me to sleep. Even mid day😂😂😂
The actual fairy tale of Snow White depicted her as blonde with fair skin since the original story of Snow White was about an actual German princess and now she’s Mexican kinda disrespectful Disney did not do their research
Mate, this movie is from 1937, they always did stuff like that
Ok nerd
Proud Disney nerd here 🙌
There is a word for it… its called…. *I N F L A T I O N* Its when more money has less value! :D Who would have known?! (Heavy sarcasm)
Side by side looks way better than ur regular 1 row log
These jokes are amazing! They should 100% return. Only people offended are the ones knowing it’s true
Hair Black as Night Skin White as Snow Lips Red as Blood love this Version of the Beauty of Snow White
I wish that I was lucky enough to get to experience this it is one of my biggest dreams and I hope that someday I get to go
I hope you get to go too!
Why would they change her hair colours? The original source even says, "hair black as ebony, skin white as snow, lips red as blood"
They could tape a walky talky in the bin lid so noone has to get rubbish thrown on them
At this point they should have only a certain amount of people in the park so its not over crounded not unlike your moms bet with a dude named tyrone 😂. Jk
I agree with John Hench. Never really liked the big "you better participate" vibe it gives off
this was lovely
😅 those are the things that bother you? Sister....
Eh I like cohesive storytelling. We all have our pet peeves. And I did add a disclaimer at the front end of this so… 🤷♀️
They ruined Splash Mountain with Tiana theming. It kind of sucks, aside from the drop.
I love concept art so much ❤
I wish I could have gone, especially to the 1964 Worlds Fair panel. My mom worked in the Hawaii pavilion at the Worlds Fair and visiting Small World was her favorite. When she speaks about her experience at the Disney showcases she gets a bit teary eyed.
Aw I love that!
I like the Betty boop-snow white's face! So cute!
