Disney is hurriedly preparing for the opening of the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train roller coaster in New Fantasyland. Now, they have unveiled the impressive animatronics of the Seven Dwarfs in this great video!
Video from YouTube.
Personally, this blows me away. These are some of the most impressive and advanced animatronics Disney has yet created. It’s simply incredible how fluidly the characters’ facial expressions are!
Eventually, Bob realizes Larry is making fun of him in Spanish:
Larry: "!Pobre tomate!" Bob: "Poor tomato!" Larry: "El deberia poder bailar" Bob: "He wishes he could dance" Larry: "Como el pepino" Bob: "like the cucumber" Larry: "libre y suavemente." Bob: "free and smooth." Larry: "Pero el no puede danzar." Bob: "But he can't ... Okay! Stop the music! What do ya mean I can't dance? I can dance! What about Uncle Louie's polka party? Didn't you see me dancing at Uncle Louie's polka party?"
(Lyrics from ST Lyrics - great site!)
Right about here, after Larry refuses to listen to Bob ("No comprendo," he says), Junior Asparagus appears. He asks that his dad get a picture of him and the dancing cucumber.
And also right about here, I paused, staring at Junior.
He's got Mickey Mouse ears on!
Disney reference!
Makes your day, doesn't it?
Well, anyway, that's really all I have to share with you. Junior and his parents are dressed as Disney tourists, and the "Seven Dwarfs" make an appearance chasing after Junior's mom: "I think the dwarfs have your mother confused with someone else!"
The dwarfs run by very quickly, with only really their hats visible. Impossible to tell which ones as only a few run by.
The Disney Mermaid turns to me after the reference finishes and says, "You've got to put that in your blog."
So here it is.
See ya all real soon!
(If you're wondering, the song first appeared in the episode Rack, Shack, and Benny. Wikipedia's article mentions this scene.)
