i'm getting "there is no war in ba sing se" vibes from this
"there are no poor, depressed, underplayed, or dirty people in Disney world."
OMIGOD YOU'RE RIGHT
The earth king invites you to lake laogai😶
There is no virus in Walt Disney World. There is no virus in Walt Disney World.
I want a Disneyland with a Holocaust train car ride. And a Small World where the creepy dolls are killing each other.
"The American version of the Vatican," hits hard on so many levels.
This is how I will quote this video.
It’s not.
@@andrewcool4587 Yeah. It's worse.
I thought the same thing.
Vatican didn't ban alcohol
I'm an ex cast member and I lived in celebration in an apartment on main street. It was awesome till my first late shift. When I got off at 8pm everything was closed and no one was on the streets it was so eerie I felt like I was in the Truman show.
“Into a realm where princesses are real” I’m pretty sure princesses are real outside of Disneyland
Not even the supposed princesses are really princesses. They’re all pirate families that have claimed the status. And people allowed it because sheeple are stupid.

@@vasaradragonsbane5580 oh. You’re one of those guys, huh?
Um, there are whole Royal families.
I wanna hear the story about how Michael got permanently kicked out of Universal Studios
Seriously
Same
So much.
I kinda want to know too, hoping it isn't something really bad. just hoping he was just drunk and disorderly.
I'm there for it
Disney was once told he had the popularity to be elected president. He responded: "Why would I want to be President of the United States? I'm the King of Disneyland!"
He didn't wanna do war crimes...
@John joseph Corona he did believe in conservative family values so we probably would have seen a continuation of the nuclear family. He wasn't a racist, contrary to rumors, so I Don't think he would have obstructed civil rights legislation too much. He would have gone after unions though considering how much he despised them. That might have been his undoing.
"why would I serve in heaven when I can rule in hell?" vives from that quote
Considering how big of a control freak he was, he would've probably tried to sanitize culture and society into the faux saccharine "utopia" he kept trying to create had he become president.
"You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store."
"Prime" example of what it's like when you're handed a glass of Kool-Aid but you didn't as for any....
The "Real Magic" of Disney is how the park employees manage to survive on such poor wages.
It was like the plot of a bioshock game, but in real life. I'd totally play that
I always imagined Andrew Ryan was based on Walt Disney. With a little Howard Hughes crazy thrown in.
@@ahlishaholloway233 Yeah, and he had a bit of Zachary Comstock too.
"We happy few' is similar, I would reccomend to check it out.
You should read the book fantasticland
@@ahlishaholloway233 to was Ayn Rand and Disney accoring to the creator
I was a cast member for a couple years, it’s wild to see how accurate this is
Hahahaha. Freaking true.
Would you work at any other theme park though?
Who did you play?
Were you one of the poor guys in goofy or mickey costumes walking around in 105 degree humid weather?
which disney character were you 'friend' with? (the industry's lingo lol)
Its so weird, its like Disney wanted this "self sustaining diorama" with people.
"It's the American equivalent to the Vatican" I have never heard truer words in my life
im pretty sure i read somewhere that the main reason epcot didn’t become the utopia that walt wanted was because he died and then the board was like “okay so we’re NOT gonna do that”
Disney's corporate board members actively stalled the project even while he was alive, because as far as they were concerned it was just the stupid expensive vanity project of a dying old man that brought with itself more legal liabilities than have ever existed on this green world.
@@BloodyAltima They may have been right... Bioshock comes to mind.
@@Armendicus Of course they were right.
“It’s like corporate fascism” umm no that’s a textbook definition of corporate fascism
CZcams comments are so eager to argue, they'll even argue while agreeing.
Ooooh, do Wisecrack on Violent Agreement!
@@Chris-pt6hh Lmao I know right?
It's almost like fascism is an inherent part of the capitalist toolset and that it will always favor fascism as a buffer against the left, resulting in a state of perpetually incubating fascist tendencies as a mechanism for preserving itself.
Sounds more like communism, structured like communism and helmed by a son of a communist and a communist
"Michael vs. Universal Studios: What Went Wrong?" definitely want to know what happened...
"Real life, real mortgages, real jobs..."
"There was a brutal murder and a suicide"
Hey, remember when that "Disney is going to buy and own everything someday" joke was just a joke and not a real probability of a future evolving company towns and strange communities? Good times... how can you get banned for life from Universal studios?
If you shift the place up I’m pretty sure that’s a way to get banned for life
Asking questions.
@@markmurex6559 But it isn't that how you get banned from Disney too?
@@Hapsetshut Yes.
@@markmurex6559 Well alrighty then
Capitalist: Communism makes life dull and stripped of individualism
Also Capitalism: builds a dystopia with no individualism.
It's like the lack of individualism is more linked to the level of authoritarianism and not of the economic freedom.
Every major societal change, like revolutions, require authoritarianism, the only alternative is slow changes over long periods of time.
@@arx3516 if that helps you sleep at night...
And not only to authoritarianism. The fact that the strive for acquiring capital supersedes every other human pursuit in a capitalist society, is a threat to individuality. One’s life cannot be devoted to the fulfillment of our own individual needs. Instead, everything boils down to acquiring capital. We see this with artists. For example, all music tends to be similar, as music companies favor artists that follow a comercial formula, instead of favoring creativity.
@Luís Andrade that's right, any drastic change is bound to bring problems. The solution is gradual reforms through democratic process. As i said, the real oroblem is the revolution, violence brings only problems.
@@arx3516 revolutions and authoritarianism cause quick non sustainable changes.
True. If you want something to last long you need to have slow changes over long periods of time.
This would be an awesome movie idea:
The story of someone who has lived its whole life exclusively inside Disney World Grounds, having to get out to the real world for the 1st time. It would be the most realistic approach to the "Truman Show", "Last Emperor" or "Blast From The Pat" trope ever.
I got a Disney+ ad after this. Just kinda hammers home how terrifying they are
That's just google seeing that you watched a Disney video
Disney world to this day actually has legal authority to make their own Nuclear power plant if they wanted. I love the idea of a plant with a giant Mickey head shaped power plant

More likely they'd make it look like a castle. Maybe with a giant styrofoam dragon attacking to help explain the smoke.
Is it weird that this video both reinforces the fact that I have never wanted to go to Disney World and gives me, at the same time, enough curiosity to go and visit the place?
I actually have stayed at Disney World, and seeing this has tempted me to go back, just to look on it with adult eyes (...not effectively, though. Disney World is just too expensive and creepy)
yeah, i feel that. my sister brings up going as a family fairly often, but in my cynicism and cool-guyness i think "fuck that corporate hell-hole" and then in my childish wonder and fun-fun times, i think "wheeeee!" but i'm more the former than the latter, don't really like "fun" anyway, and if the pretzels are $7, everything else is gonna be exorbitant and they don't need my money, damnit.
You should go there at least once in your life. See for yourself how artificial it is.
I mean, I know I'll never want to go there, because I am baised against everything disney
Hey it’s a fun place. I had fun. But like Vegas, not somewhere to live. Go for a week at max. Make the most of it. Then go the fuck home.
All I could about the whole time was when Bart wears a bra on his head and in best mickey impression says "I'm the mascot of an evil corporation"

When you relaize Walt Disney was just an Andrew Ryan that decided to build his empire on land. Disney World is literally Rapture without the superpowers
Disney's original designs for EPCOT always reminded me of Rapture. Although arguably Walt is worse than Ryan. Ryan was a rapacious capitalist, but he didn't have any racial paranoia or distorted views of American exceptionalism, unlike Disney
Andrew Ryan always reminded me of Walt Disney, their personality and way of dressing. Also Rapture is designed similarly to Disney World. A bunch of different locations connected by the same mode of transportation, each area of Rapture adheres to a theme and its all centered around an ideology of removing the problematic parts of society.
@@ahlishaholloway233 I guess it made it better that Andrew was Russian lol

Those company towns sound like haciendas before the mexican revolution. It's why the mexican revolution happened.
I want to hear the ban of universal properties story.
As a life long orlando resident, the magic died for me at a very long time ago. When all of your family and friends work their and tell you about their low wages, heavy restrictions and ridiculous commute, its hard to find the place worth the $200 ticket price.
I grew up in Celebration! Was a nice town to be a kid in. Lots of parks and walking paths (and when you were a Florida kid who didn't know what snow was like, the soap fountains were a blast, lol). I even went to that school they showed!
Here's some random details that weren't mentioned:
-Like 90% of the houses are like a foot apart from each other. You can barely squeeze a person between some of them
-Most "yards" are like 15 square feet of grass crammed between the garage and the neighbors garage
-Houses that weren't like those were ludicrously fancy mansions. One in particular that stuck out to me is literally like an entire block in length. Like 8 houses could have fit on its plot
-Because this is all still in freaking Florida, animals were everywhere. Turkeys wandered the streets, pigs ate up yards and alligators were in every body of water
Was definitely a bit of a weird place, but I remember it fondly.
Pigs?

That comparison shot of The Vatican and the Disneyland plaza - that was some genius work right there
What I personally see, being an ecologist, is how huge that property is and the fact that it was originally all a wild space....what a waste, that could have been so much protected land...
“Hidden Mickeys” is a very creepy phrase. For multiple reasons.
Sorry, but I don’t agree with this one. It’s a game, find the Mickey head shapes scattered around the park. How is that any diff than Where’s Waldo? Or hunting Easter/Ishtar eggs? Or playing hide ‘n seek? Or searching for hidden knowledge? Sometimes, people just take things too far...extremists, if you will.🤦🏻♀️
@@lovetoclearclouds7017 yeah, a Hidden Mickey is just that, a hidden mascot symbol, you look at it, and you're like "heh, nice, I found one."
This is Bioshock. Now I'm thinking that Andrew Ryan is 100% based on Walt Disney and Disneyland.
While Andrew Ryan was based on Ayn Rand, her ideas were extremely prevalent in Walt Disney’s time
I always sensed a correlation between Walt Disney and Andrew Ryans caracterization in bioschock but I could not quite articulate it now I see the paralels a little better than before. Thanks wisecrack crew.
Now I know why I always felt such anxiety inside that park, and why even as a child I always felt there was something off with disney in general.
Was it the overpriced pretzels? Or do you not like fun.
I never knew what disney world was so huge and complex....I always thought it was just another amusement park. This is really concerning though, I totally agree with you
Corporate fascism seems to be a good definition of Disney world.
Mickey Skaven needs a purging
Well its pretty fitting considering how Disney and Hitler were practically in love with each other.
Kind of redundant tho, Corporate Fascism
Never been there but it seemed super dark from the beginning to me, now i can put my finger on why. Going there on acid would be hell by the way.
@@1234kalmar how is it redundant?
This feels like the trilogy of Bioshock just copy pasted Walt Disney's bio.
So basically, Celebration, FL is the worst HOA ever formed...
Yeah
It's unnerving because, at the back of our minds, we know it's not real. It's literally too good to be true. And it's like uncanny valley in the sense that is creepy.
I'm fine with this as long as it stays in Disney land.
ON Epcot: There are some planned cities with the same ethos as that in Brazil: They're called Alphavilles. It's basically a gated CITY.
Named after a French film. I have it on video (VHS) somewhere. There is a place in India run like this.

Dick Pope! Lol
The scary part is that we all seem to enjoy it.
Hell even that mention of the evacuation is something that is wild. Can you imagine the preparation and organization involved in that? Makes you think we’d be better off with Disney in charge of the government.
AND THEN you realize how crazy and terrible that would be.
Dr. Allen Grant: "We're out of a job."

Now i wanna hear the story of Michael's banning from Universal Studios
Absolutely insane, cannot believe the extent of the ambition, and even the reality is well on the way to be a bit sickening
Oh Disney. This brought back so many memories, stuff I swore I must have forgotten. My family went to Disney in Feb 1995, and we actually designated a day where our goal was to visit Celebration and see the wonders. Terrifying to children, and my parents never spoke of it again. Luckily my great-grandparents didn't live far away, so when we ditched early we visited them a second time.
I feel like nobody will ever really try to look deep into Disney because most of videos of anyone that does seems like they have a light-hearted ness to what it is
Teslaville is a much scarier concept. First of all, it will probably be on Mars...
Don't need fences to keep the riffraff out when you have a hundred million miles of cold, uncaring void!
So if you end up not liking it, you can never escape
Didn’t Defunctland make a video about this months ago?
Yes and it is awesome
Company towns sounds like a dystopian society where you have to work too long to ever realize how bad your situation is.
I was scared by “Mickey can’t hurt you”
Literally that payment situation reminds me of bioshock infinite. Finkton MFG. Had a town he owned and operated under the factories and everyone was paid in money they could only use for Finkton owned things only. If you know how that turned out, you know
Funnily enough, Main Street USA always reminded me of Columbia from Bioshock Infinite. Ironically, both were built to exhibit the same kind of American ideals.
Good to see that i'm not the only one who thinks Bioshock may have had some inspiration from Disney. I didn't know how big disney world is and how creepily they manage it
Yup. That sure is a Company town!
Walt was a Fink man!
That's because both are modeled after the coal towns of the early 20th century in the US.
I can't even imagine a world where princesses are real. Durrrppppp.
The funny thing about Princess is that it's an horrible life and symbol. It's being sold to a men of power by your father.

@@andrewleo1521 The US does have a kind of monarchy it's called the presidency. You may laugh but the POTUS role has taken on some of the ceremonial aspects that a monarch would be involved in elsewhere. Another aspect is how his wife and family are viewed.
It’s the British royal family, there has been no English royal family since 1707
@@sircoloniser5454 It's the English royal family. The Scottish royal family was removed from the throne twice by the English, firstly by executing Charles I (the last actual Scottish king) and then a few years after the Stuarts were restored, the line was usurped completely. (Hence the Jacobite movement.)
If you want to argue it the other way there hasn't been an English royal house for over a thousand years, when the Danes took over and were superseded by the Normans, and then houses of Dutch, French, German, Scottish and Welsh origin.
There's some pretty important and currently relevant potential lessons that could be learned within this...
I can sneak you into Universal, Michael.
From a user name 'ArmageddonAngel'... strangely chilling
I kind of wonder what led to such a ban, but do we REALLY want to know? Lol.
Huh, I always thought heterotopia was what Mike Pence calls his safe place
HAHAHA
Ba dumbum
Loved the video. As a former cast member, is insane how much I found myself accenting nodding yes and kinda realizing we were told about much of this story in our training (though of course with the introspection, analysis and all framed as a nice thing).
Thank you for perfectly describing and putting into words what I've always felt about Disney and that place. I couldn't really describe it myself other than it made me feel uneasy and that it didn't feel right. You nailed it!
Disney: "NO GAMBLING!"
Also Disney: @16:54
This kind of reminds me of the Astor colony in 1812 where Jon Jacob Astor tried to make the whole Pacific Northwest into his own private corporate nation.
It now make sense that Disney most iconic idea: "The princess" is value. Selling a princess for wealth to a King is just normal for a creepy corporation. It's basically telling the world of a goldigger is magical.
Even seemingly randomized animals like birds are disneyfied. Birds act like how they act in disney cartoons. Its amazing tbh.
Could you PLEASE make a video discussing the philosophy in the latest seasons of Attack on Titan. Please make one on part 2 of season 3 before season 4 ends and then a new video just about season 4.

This was an excellent video. Your closing insights were very interesting.
Very well done video. Giving a lot to think about.
I must be a huge nerd, because I thought EVERYONE knew that Walt Disney's original vision for Epcot was a futuristic city.
I got a Disney plus ad before this video, lol.

Same here
wandavision ad to boot, which satirizes american domesticity
Disney is always watching
I once wandered my way into Celebration's movie theater (I got very lost.) When I tried to buy a ticket, there was no cash register. They couldn't take my money, so they just let me in for free. Yes, it's exactly as creepy as it sounds.
Great presentation!
I literally just got an ad for Disney Plus.
Mickey is watching you
defunctland has a good deep dive on disney and the legacy he wanted to establish
To me, it's one of those things where people can be smart enough to design huge complex machines, but not smart enough to realize that doesn't mean they are capable of personally solving all the worlds problems.
Planned cities sometimes seem less efficient than the slums tbh

This was an amazing video! There’s a manga called Billy Bat and it’s an interesting read. It has conspiracy’s and it all is tied to a comic book character that is the Micky Mouse of the story’s world.
Ohh, so that’s what Tragic Kingdom was about.
Wow. This video got me looking at Disney in a whole different way. Thank you for a great video👍
Loved this video!! Would you consider adding a Works Cited or recommended further reading list to your description? Great analysis but could be helpful for people who want to learn more and are looking for more ebooks since, you know, lockdown.
"Disney will do anything to make money, but before I tell you what I mean, first a word from our sponsors..."
Nailed it. The facts in this video are more or less correct but... This channel’s interpretation of what Disney wanted out of EPCOT are just dumb. Why would Disney World show the darker side of the US, it’s a park for children. There’s no dark hidden secrets, just a park to make money. This video is just dumb.
....I don't think you grasped the point of the video at all lol
It's not saying that there's an evil plot going on at Disney World today.
@@erimgard3128 It's behavior during COVID proves it's still pretty evil.
Well, we did get to experience that Disney bubble last year.
I once lived for a while in a Disney Town in Europe. It is called Serris, and it's a few kilometers off Eurodisney/Disneyland Paris. I called it "Mousechwitz", because it had a subtle eerie feeling of being a concentration camp for employees. There were other 4 Mousechwitzes as well, all conveniently isolated from one another. Older employees and even older managers were telling us, new employees, how even a couple of years before we came in, at the picnic tables outside our dorms, designated managers would sit down with us every single time to control our conversations: immediate censorship of the slightest criticism towards Disney and, much worse, the only conversations allowed not only at those picnic tables but indeed in every single public space HAD TO BE about how great Disney was and what a great opportunity we employees had at being allowed the once-in-a-lifetime luckly opprtunity of toiling away for our slave masters. Our private clothing was also strictly regulated: wearing a clothes item with a rival brand cartoon character would immediately bring you threats of immediate termination of your work contract. There were barely any shops in or around Mousechwitz (a very expensive bakery, a very expensive soulless bar, and a very expensive minimarket, all three of them would close at 5 pm). And there was no other transportation except the buses that took you to Eurodisney; so 95% of the time 95% of the employees would go to the Disney Village to socialize and spend our little money at Disney bars and Disney eateries & restaurants (even with our 1O% discount it was still very expensive). For the rebels from us who wanted to do our weekly shopping at a normal store, we had to literally take a train to another city, Torcy, where all the Disney employees were prayed upon by the local thug bands, right at the train station and all the way to the shopping mall where the supermarket was, so we had to organize to go in groups of 6 but despite that still got tauntedd, threatened and occassionally robbed and beaten by those thug bands. At the park itself as well as at the hotels or the Disney village, employees could be fined if not smiling enough 100% of our time. I remember a day, as I was waiting a row of tables at one of the restaurants of the Sequoia Lodge Hotel, where my manager gave me a Pluto certificate for outstanding work the previous month at the beginning of my shift (this came with voucher of about USD100 that could only be spend at... you guessed it, Disney stores), and at the end of my shift he deducted USD150 from my pay b/c while I was clearing away a table and thus having to go the dishwashing area (off limits to guests, as it should be) a guy who was sitting alone at one of the tables I waited at took the opportunity to sneak away without paying his bill - we had controls at the exit to make sure this didn't happen but the guy went away unnoticed. How the hell was I supposed to watch somebody trying to sneak away while I am in another area of the restaurant??
The way Walt Disney's utopian city was planned and was to be run feels eerily similar to the way the USSR ran: one company owns everything, no unions were allowed, everyone HAS to be a worker, everyone works for the same company and that company is in charge of most aspects of daily life. This is all really ironic considering Walt Disney himself literally took part in the Red Scare during the 1950's.
Remember that time that kid got eaten by the gator at ine of their hotels
It was the day after that gay night club was shot up. I felt so bad for not just the family, but for the poor cops who had to deal with that too.
14:57 i hope the story behind this isn’t a patreon exclusive
Oh have I bad news for you...
Anyone else think that Walt Disney describing his ideal town sounded a lot like how a 1920's Klansman would describe his?
I enjoy how more and more critical themed videos are popping up everywhere on yt.
granted for those who knew there is not much to learn but im thrilled that its spreading into the mainstream
