Mickey’s Audition aka Mickey’s Big Break last appeared at the Main Street Cinema in the 90s. Now without fanfare, it’s finally rediscovered.

4 Theme Park Musical Moments from Pixar in Concert
The concept is a bit strange. Pay a hundred bucks for the right to dress up in nice clothes and go to a theater to watch a full orchestra play background music from cartoons. It’s even crazier when you’re a theme park fan and you spend half the time relating various peripheral melodies to your […]
What if Disneyland Arrived 60 Years Too Late?
Try to imagine, just for a moment, a giant space monster punching Father Time right in the teeth. A punch hard enough to jar loose sixty years. A half-dozen meaningless decades. A skip on the record player of history. Now imagine that this cataclysmic punch occurred in 1901. History shrugs it off. Life finds a […]
The World’s First Traffic Jam
In the classic EPCOT Center attraction, the World of Motion, they based an entire show scene around the idea of the World’s First Traffic Jam, complete with animatronic chickens. But Disney World’s First (and Worst) Traffic Jam happens every night at the Magic Kingdom. I don’t spend a lot of time musing about the future […]

Nothing symbolizes this more than the old House of Magic shop on Main Street (now part of Goofy’s Plush-o-rama and Magical […]

Tramp Sleeps With the Fishes
Never go against the family. That’s the lesson here, especially in the high powered Italian underworld of Main Street U.S.A. “Take the gun, leave the meatballs.” Tramp always had it coming. He should have known better than to skim free spaghetti dinners from a kingpin like Tony. And he’s out flaunting his status with those […]
