Behind the Attraction

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.

After nailing The Imagineering Story, I was extremely excited to hear that Behind the Attraction was coming out! I thought it would be a great opportunity for us to learn even more than we as the general public had no idea about & see archive footage of the construction of the rides.

Instead, we received a very fast paced (almost TikTok style) video with even fewer facts than many of the amazing YouTubers have told us. It felt aimed at teenagers, but also, not gripping enough to keep their attention.

It was a shame as I feel the style & pacing of Imagineering Story was so perfect & this could have been a beautiful continuation of that, but you it just feels like you've ridden Mission Space for 45 minutes straight!

If you like the Netflix series "The Movies that made Us" you will love this series "Behind the Attraction". It's good fun and informative at the same time. Paget Brewster is doing a hell of job with her witty and very funny narration. Do yourself a favor and don't pay any attention to the sour reviews of humorless people and enjoy this treat of a series!

I have so many great memory about Tokyo Disneyland, when I was a little girl my parents take us to Tokyo Disneyland. My brother and I were having so much fun there and everything I've experienced there is my treasure.

I have so many pictures from age 6 to 18. As I get older, I'm getting lost interesting in Disney, but recently I'd like to love Disney again. Thanks to Disney Plus.

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.
