Blanche Neige et les Sept Nains या Snow White's Scary Adventures.
The Paris version of this classic डिज़्नी 'dark ride' is the version I have most recently ridden. However, I will take a look back at the डिज़्नी World version, as well as using some online sources to compare and contrast the Disneyland California and Tokyo डिज़्नी versions.
The 'English' शीर्षक for this ride is incredibly apt. Scary is what it is. After the usual twisty-turny queue line (no fastpass for this one) आप are placed into minecarts decorated with squirrels and the like. The ride first leads आप through the dwarves' cottage where आप see जानवर cleaning (as in Whistle While आप Work); Snow White climbing the stairs to the bedroom; and the seven dwarves गाना and dancing to The Silly Song.
आप then leave the cottage to pass the क्वीन outside before heading down the mines full of colourful, glittering jewels. A minecart full of gems heads towards आप before leaving the mine and heading through the great wooden doors of the Queen's castle. Two vultures wait sinisterly on an overhanging branch. The क्वीन is in front of her mirror and as आप approach she turns, transforming into the old hag.
आप continue through the dungeon, past rattling skeletons until आप meet the witch again, brewing a potion in her cauldron to enchant the apple. She appears again, moments later, with a basket full of apples, tempting the riders as they pass by.
Leaving the dungeon, the riders enter the dark, forbidding wood Snow White finds herself in when running away from the Huntsman. Huge, leering trees with horrific faces and clutching branches hang over the track. Again the hag appears and then we see all seven dwarves chasing her up the mountain as lightning flashes - and she falls to her death. Suddenly, we pass through a pair of doors to see the Prince's गढ़, महल glistening on the horizon and finally the riders pass under a bridge, atop which are the Prince and Snow White, astride a horse, waving as we leave.
It is an effective ride - and very dark and scary. After the initial scene in the cottage, the rest of the ride is focussed on the frightening scenes - the Queen's transformation into the witch; her dungeon and poisoning of the apple; the terrifying wood and the witch's death a चोटी, शीर्ष the mountain. The final 'happy ending' is incredibly brief and the rider barely has time to catch their breath after the horrors they have been presented with before trundling back out into the real world.
One detail I had missed, which has only come to light watching यूट्यूब ride-throughs, is the क्वीन standing at a window above the entrance to the ride, drawing the curtains back to gaze over the visitors below. I'm disappointed I didn't notice this on visiting the park as I would have loved to point it out to my children. It's so true that one visit to these theme parks is never enough because of all the details आप miss.
My main criticism of this ride, and of all the dark 'story' rides (Peter Pan's Flight and Pinocchio) is that they are simply far too short! They are over in a matter of minutes. No sooner have आप taken in one scene, than आप are rushed through to the next.
There are some highly effective scenes, though, in this ride. The most striking is the Queen's transformation. The गाड़ी travels through large double doors entering a long, straight corridor at the end of which can be seen the back of the क्वीन looking into her mirror, her image reflected for the riders. As the गाड़ी approaches, the क्वीन swivels round, revealing the witch and the mirror image fades to दिखाना her back. It's an effective illusion.
Less effective is the final scene with Snow White and the Prince. The figures for Snow White and the Prince are bizarrely emotionless, with slightly blank faces and the room itself is flat and uninspiring. Someday my Prince will come plays over this scene and the picture of the गढ़, महल glimmers, but there is no depth to the scene as a climax to the ride is is a little disappointing after the intense scariness of the rest of the ride.
So how does this ride differ from the other versions. The only other iteration I have ridden is in डिज़्नी World in Florida and I must admit to my memories being a little hazy. This is where यूट्यूब ride-throughs come into their own. I have sometimes wondered what the point of people filming their experience on rides is, but in लेखन this blog and trying to remember what rides (and very short rides at that) were like, I have found these वीडियो to be invaluable.
The डिज़्नी World version adheres closer to the film. The opening sees the carts travel around the well Snow White sings into in the opening scenes of the film before the riders meet Snow White herself sitting on the steps of the गढ़, महल गाना to a dove. From there we travel through doors and into the Queen's dungeon, passing the Magic Mirror (a character missing from the Paris version) quoting his famous phrase before heading down the corridor towards the Queen's transformation into the witch - exactly as it is in the Paris version.
This scene then continues और या less the same as the Paris version as we travel through the dungeon, passing the witch as she enchants the सेब in her cauldron. Next, though, we find ourselves on the outskirts of the forest being urged द्वारा the Huntsman (another character absent from the Paris version) to flee. We see Snow White in the woods and then eventually arrive at the Dwarves' cottage for The Silly Song sequence seen in the Paris ride. The डिज़्नी World version, however, includes Snow White at the window receiving the poisoned सेब from the witch. We then enter the mines before following the dwarves up the mountain side to witness the witch's death.
This leads to us discovering a sleeping Snow White being leant over द्वारा the Prince before entering a final scene, similar to the final room of the Paris ride. However, now only Dopey is atop the bridge waving at us and Snow White and the Prince are, instead, a two-dimensional painting on the दीवार riding off towards his castle.
Of course, this ride is no longer at डिज़्नी World as it has been लॉस्ट to the Fantasyland expansion.
Aside from the extra scenes, the most marked difference between the डिज़्नी World and Paris versions is the presence of Snow White. In Paris she appears twice - once in the cottage and once at the end, riding away with the Prince. In Florida we see her on the गढ़, महल steps, in the wild wood, receiving the सेब and in her एनचांटेड sleep. Apparently, the original version of this ride, way back in the early days of Disneyland in California, didn't feature Snow White at all. The concept was that the riders were Snow White and they were seeing the story from her point of view. This confused visitors who expected to see Snow White on the Snow White-themed ride and so the ride was re-tooled to insert her.
The Disneyland California version is very similar to the Paris version. The entrance facade is almost identical and the ride begins with the dwarves' cottage and The Silly Song sequence. It then takes आप into the mine before आप enter the Queen's dungeon and watch her transform into the witch - just as she does in the Florida and Paris rides. The rest of the dungeon sequence is practically identical before आप find yourself in the terrifying wood. This is followed, again, द्वारा the dwarves pursuing the witch up the mountain to her death.
The final scene is very different though in that it lacks any figures at all, merely being a giant storybook with an illustration of Snow White and the Prince heading off towards his गढ़, महल with the legend 'and they lived happily ever after' inscribed beneath. This means that Snow White only appears once in this ride in the first scene in the cottage.
The Tokyo Disneyland version (which I will probably never get to ride, but who knows) is very similar to the California and Paris rides with a slightly rearranged order of scenes (the Dwarves cottage is near the end of the ride rather than at the beginning). Oddly there doesn't seem to be a finale दिखा रहा है a revived/reviving Snow White which seems a bit of an omission - indeed the Prince is conspicuous द्वारा his absence.
In all 4 versions of this ride, the focus is very much on the witch. She appears time and again, popping out around corners, leering at visitors and cackling all around you. In a way I understand this focus. As I टिप्पणी जोड़ा गया हे on in my review of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Snow White herself is a twee, relatively ineffectual heroine. The Queen/Witch though is a classic डिज़्नी creation and very much the mould from which other डिज़्नी villains, such as Maleficent, Ursula and Mother Gothel, were formed from. Even the dwarves aren't a huge focus of the ride, maybe because there are too many of them to give anyone justice - although it's telling that Dopey, possibly the most recognisable of the seven, is who waved goodbye to riders at the end of the डिज़्नी World version.
It is right and proper that डिज़्नी theme parks have a ride based on the company's most iconic film and I find it surprising that डिज़्नी World have removed it (although it has been replaced, to some extent, द्वारा the Mine Train rollercoaster). It's just a shame it is such a short experience.
But Snow White's Scary Adventures is not the only attraction of this theme across the park, so I'm going to also have a quick look at some of the others.
Please feel free to jump in with your own experiences of these rides and attractions - I'd प्यार to hear from other डिज़्नी fans

Hello everyone! I'm Veronica (a.k.a. ApplesauceDoctr :D), and hey, it's been a little while since I've written an article. It feels good to get back into the spirit of writing. :D
So, what have I today? As आप can see, I'll be analyzing the song "Reflection" from Disney's Mulan. I made a lyric video for it about a week पूर्व and realized just how deep the song is! However, in this analysis, I'll also be taking a look at the extended version of the song. It shows a different side of मूलन that...well, you'll see soon enough.
Alright then! Let's take a listen to Reflection!

I want to make it clear- I प्यार THE MOVIE ALADDIN, I प्यार every character in it- except Aladdin. And finally, i'll tell आप why.
I didn't really organize this well because I couldn't figure this out.
Main issues- Aladdin's sexist/classicism assumptions, and Jasmine's hypocrisy
Scenario: अलादीन sees चमेली in the marketplace, falls for her, brings her back to his poor-boy hut, and together they have a दिल to दिल about how they feel trapped द्वारा their situations. Although चमेली doesn't explicitly state that she is a princess, she does hint that it's not an enjoyable life. "Oh sure,...

With the pending release of two “Snow White” revamps, boasting Kristin Stewart and Lily Collins in the leading roles – I began to wonder: look-wise, who could fill the shoes of the other 9 princesses? And after exhausting गूगल image, I’ve found my answer. These celebrity-princess doppelgangers share और than merely eye and hair colour; in fact, many are practically identical. Give their faces and features और than a quick glance and I promise you’ll agree.
This is the only picture I can’t claim credit for – but kudos to its maker for pairing...

Disney has enchanted us for decades with its beautiful, singing heroines.
As many of us know, Disney Princesses are not always viewed in a positive light. Some people believe them to be passive, codependent damsels in distress. But is this really true? या does each Princess offer a kind of strength in her own way? Here, I have carefully ranked the princesses in terms of being good role मॉडेल for young girls. We'll start at the bottom of the सूची so we can work our way towards, in my opinion, डिज़्नी Princess' best role model. I have spoken to plenty of parents to make sure that I have diverse research and opinions.

Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind!
I haven't done a ranking in a while, so here ya go. This लेख is dedicated to the amazing animators of डिज़्नी who gave us wonderful character designs and, sadly, unrealistic hair expectations! (*cries because my hair will never be as cool as DP hair*)
That being said, although every princess has beautiful hair, some manes are better than others. This is my opinion of their hairstyles, ranked worst to best.

Since it's हैलोवीन soon I decided to write a few लेखाए relating to that, they're actually pretty much the same, this one is about the scariest moment in each DP Movie, the other one will be my चोटी, शीर्ष 5 या चोटी, शीर्ष 10 Scariest DP Movie Moments, haven't decided yet which one I'll do, but I'm leaning towards चोटी, शीर्ष 5 at the current moment. Anyway so I hope you'll enjoy this article
