Before we get started, we'll hear the last about Disney Dream Jobs. Stephen and Kaity tell us their dream jobs - even though they have worked extensively as Cast Members. We also hear from a listener about wanting to work in the kids activities area, either in the parks or the resorts.With Walt Disney World not doing full blown Overlays as Disneyland does with the Haunted Mansion, it's fun to look at what could be. We'll hear from Stephen first with his idea to lightly add Christmas touches to Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway. Kaity will then talk about adding Coco to the Three Caballeros attraction in Epcot's Mexico Pavilion before talking about a fun idea of adding the holidays to Expedition Everest. Bryan then provides his idea of the Muppets Christmas Carol taking over Remy's Ratatouille Adventure and providing it from the point of view of Rizzo the Rat. This kicks off a conversation about the state of the Muppets. We even get into Honey, I Shrunk the Audience and Captain EO before getting back to Overlays. We'll consider the Simpson's taking over Tiana's Bayou Adventure and Muppet's Treasurer Island Overlaid on Pirates of the Caribbean.Before our last conversation about holiday music played by Sonny Eclipse at Cosmic Ray's, we have a fun conversation about Alien Extra-terror-estrial and a scary Stitch.You can find the Idiot's Guide to Imagineering on Instagram ‎@IdiotsImagineering  I appreciate them joining me this week! Make sure you hit that subscribe button so you know when there are new episodes.

We explore insights into the complex effects of this 4D film from its director, Radal Kleiser, and describe how each of the ground breaking in-theater effects were achieved. So grab your safety googles, pick your feet up off the ground, and watch out for Gigabyte! Early History"Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" released in 1989 to great success, followed by a moderately successful sequel, "Honey, I Blew Up the Kid" in 1992. "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids: Movie Set Adventure" opened in 1990 at the then new MGM Studios park. A new attraction themed around "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" was announced in November 1993, originally named "Honey, I Shrunk the Theater" and later changed to "Honey, I Shrunk the Audience." Kodak sponsored the attraction. ProductionThe film was directed by Randal Kleiser, known for "Grease" and "Flight of the Navigator," and written by Bill Prady and Steve Spiegel. Cinematography was handled by Dean Cundey, with effects by Kleiser-Walczak Construction Company. The score was composed by Bruce Boughton. The set was designed by Les Dilley, and the cast included Rick Moranis, Marcia Strassman, Robert Oliveri, Eric Idle, and others. PreshowThe preshow included a presentation by Kodak and a segment featuring Dr. Nigel Channing on WNN-TV. In 2003, the preshow was changed to include a short film replacing "True Colors" and altered dialogues. Technical Details and Run of the ShowThe film was presented as the stage of a live award show, with technical details ensuring the appearance of a live event. Ten significant 3D moments were incorporated into the show, each carefully choreographed to enhance audience immersion. Other Parks ChangesThe attraction underwent changes in various Disney parks, including Tokyo Disneyland, Disneyland, and Disneyland Paris. Closure and LegacyAfter Michael Jackson's death, there was a resurgence of interest in "Captain EO." As a result, "Honey, I Shrunk the Audience" was temporarily closed in several parks for the "Captain EO Tribute" but never reopened. The attraction left a lasting legacy, with elements incorporated into other Disney experiences. Our MemoriesPersonal reflections on the attraction.

If you ask Brad Sundberg, storytelling is an effective marketing strategy that allows you to build trust. Brad shares his experience of using personal storytelling to promote events based on his time in the studio with Michael Jackson. He believes that sharing stories, especially about personal experiences, helps to establish connections with customers. “When you are a business owner,” he says. “You either sit on the couch and eat popcorn and go broke, or you've got to get out and beat the drum.” On this episode of Be a Marketer, Brad and host Dave Charest, Director of Small Business Success at Constant Contact, discuss the power of personal branding, storytelling, and building trust in marketing.

Welcome back everyone! We hope everyone had a great October / Halloween / Spooky Season.  As we head into the holidays Zack and Jenny follow up with the questions nobody ever bothered to ask about our coverage of Bram Stoker's Dracula. We threw a little bit of shade by omitting Peter Cushing as Van Helsing in our main episode, so we make sure to give him some love in this one.  We talk about the Spanish language Dracula filmed at night on the same sets as the Tod Browning version.  Have you ever heard of that, we hadn't? We go through the films for Francis Ford Coppola.  From nudie flicks, to possible the first slasher, the Godfather, to Captain EO.  This guy has done it all. We pause for a moment to look at a movie ratings site to try to determine the most forbidden film we have covered.  Spoiler alert, Dracula is pretty low on the list because there is no cursing. We go over how the trippy special effects were created, and how they were mostly parlor tricks that would have been available to the makers of the original Dracula.  We also talk about the 2nd unit director, Roman Coppola, and his influence on one of our favorite filmmakers. We dig up a 5000 year old fart joke, ponder the Steven Segal film Under Siege spending 4 weeks at #1 in the box office, dig into a newspaper from the day of release, and even find a copy of the motorcycle magazine Easyrider at an estate sale and try to figure out what was going on when this was released.
