Re "Guess it wasn't as easy as you thought."

Maybe I should have added that they speaker was talking to himself. Sort of.

I know it's Bette Davis, but I don't know what movie.

I know that because there's a clip of her saying in the finale of the Great Movie Ride attraction at Disney World:

(She's at about 2:20)

That movie montage may confuse those of you who have never been on the ride ("Ride? That looks like a film!"). The ride vehicles come together to form theater seating for that finale montage. Here's the full ride experience, for anyone who's interested:

I worked there ..some number.. of years ago. (20)

The Busby Berkeley scene used to move. The alternating levels of girls spun in different directions and water fountains shot up from the stage. It broke down all the time, so they finally just made it a static display.

Mary Poppins was one of my favorite scenes. She appears to float over the rooftops of London. Her entire armature is supported by a rod that comes out of the back of her bag into the chimney behind her.

This ride is fun, the way the tour guide gets into the shootout and your car is hijacked by the gangster (until later, when the guide returns in a supernatural blast). To increase capacity, two cars are treated to a hijacking at once. While this car was stopped in the gangster scene, the car in front was held up in the western scene by an old west bandit in the bank robbery set.

I also love the Alien scene. The Sigourney Weaver animatronic looks just like her, and the aliens popping out are neat.

The plane in the Casablanca scene is one that was really used in the film. They searched and searched for the same model, found a wrecked one in a junkyard somewhere out west, and when they checked the serial numbers, found that it was really used in the film!

The Fantasia scene in my day was the tornado from Wizard of Oz. It's a curved chamber with a lot of wind. People really missed the point, though, so they modified it to be Sorcerer's Apprentice.

The witch in the Wizard of Oz was a first. She was the first audio-animatronic to have fully articulated hands and fingers.

Then the two ride vehicles come together for the finale I posted earlier. This version has an updated film, with newer additions, such as Pirates, Narnia, and Finding Nemo

The movie was: All About Eve.......it was on the tip of your tongue....I know...that's why I 'gave' it to you. That 'ride' looks, sounds interesting.

I had read that in the final scenes, which were filmed on a sound stage, the "plane" wasn't really that far away from the major actors so they used a mock-up built of wood and cardboard and used midgets (height challanged folks) to act as if they were servicing the craft. All this to give the appearance of great depth in the scene.

Other "planes" in CASABLANCA were models hung by strings. I don't recall a real plane in any scene so if the serial numbered plane they found was the same it must have been used as a model. No?

[brian]

There's a full-size plane in the "here's looking at you" scene, isn't there? Or maybe a film projection behind them of a real plane?
