I segreti delle attrazioni Disney

And here I was, thinking this would be more in the lines of "The Imagineering Story". Spoiler alert: it is not.

Who ever gave a thumbs up at Disney for these series? There is so much wrong with it. The first episode is just an elongated "Jungle Cruise"-the movie trailer, and somehow it does not catch my attention during any of the episodes.

The different episodes try to talk about what is behind the attraction, but just at the moments when you think "ooh, that is interesting, tell me more", they slap you in the face with a dumb joke and they move on to the next subject. It is horrifying to see such interesting documentary material be degraded by the company who thought of the brilliant attractions this series is about.

What a shame.

I was so excited to see a Disney+ documentary series specific to some of my favourite attractions after really enjoying imagineering last year. Sadly, this couldn't be more of a disappointment. The narration style is utterly horrendous even chipping in with silly single words to quickly chain together heavily cut interviews, stupid one liner dad jokes and 'witty' quips and comments at every opportunity. It seemed like the whole thing was sped up to 1.5x speed for no reason.

Painful to watch and such a shame. When you get to hear the imagineers talk it is interesting but I couldn't get past the annoying style and turned it off after only watching a few of the episodes. A wasted opportunity, I hope they make more in the future but aimed at an adult audience.

I'm NOT the correct demographics for this type of content (and from the reading the reviews seems like it's not great for hardcore fans either). I've always been anti-Disney. I think the happiest place on earth should be your home. However, I understand that's a privilege that not many have access to. Walt Disney's intention was to create a place for happiness for the masses.

I'm a huge fan of behind the scenes content. 6-7 episodes in, I'm fascinated by the ingenuity and engineering Disney and crew have been able to accomplish through out the years when access to such "tech" was not viable. I learned interesting facts and tidbits about Disney that I would otherwise have not pursued on my own.

Does the series feel like propaganda, YES. Does the series get super deep into the weeds, no, but for someone that isn't super interested in the Disney "world", this series has been great for me. The series has provided me a view into understanding why Disney has such a huge fan base.

Will I become a Disney fan, no. But I can appreciate what it's done for humanity (good or bad).

After the excellent Imagineering Story, Disney Plus was crying out for a series on all the attractions.

This is very good, but the light hearted presentation style lacks depth and detail at times. Its very much a copy of Movies That Made Us on Netflix in terms of style.

Disney parks fans love details, give the audience what they want.

All the information here is fascinating. But it speeds through it with a very annoying narrator who gave me a headache. Slow down this isn't a mishmash of tik tok videos. We are genuinely interested in the information and want to hear the imagineers talk about it without a narrator talking over them and cutting them off for unfunny useless comments. The editor on this project should not have another editing job period.
