Cool video about GE's Carousel of Progress. GE isn't mentioned as a sponsor because Kodak and RCA, who sponsored Walt Disney's show, also had exhibits at the Fair and didn't want to give GE free publicity.
*VaultDisney has a another part from this episode. On his channel you can find the video that showcases Ford's Magic Skyway.

  • walt looked like a cool person to hang with at disney world..to bad he is gone now =(

  • Actually Jean Shepherd was the last voice of the father in the 1993 update. Actor Andrew Duggan's voice took over in the 1975 version.

    Disney's traditional diminishing of their human voice collaborators adds to the confusion in tracking this info down.

  • @RetepElegean Yeah!!

  • @tamisweetie I like a lot of the shows on there now, but I'd like to see a Disney History Channel with things like this and episodes of The Mickey Mouse Club and The Wonderful World Of Disney.

  • @RetepElegean They should still do that. Disney Channel I feel is falling apart. It is supposed to be a happy magical atmosphere full of shows like these. I can't even believe the shows that are on today.

  • @tamisweetie it's the disney channel logo....they used to run these amazing videos overnight....wish they still did.

  • Great Video!!!! What is that Mickey ears and box symbol on the lower right? I see that allot in videos here.

  • I've been on this invetive ride a time or two in those days and sometimes, it would stall and you'd wait awhile and keep seeing the animatronics continue to move as you watched so sometimes you could have more time to see the Disney detail. I like when it first started to move and shift your body as it slowed to a stop and you could feel the carousel move beneath your feet, amazing ! I'm glad it still exists if not in it's original place these days. Thanks for the memories !

  • @DisneyFreakToTheMax The audience. The audience sat in a "Ring" shaped area divided into six sections that rotated around the show.

  • The original COP was the best, always enjoyed it at Disneyland.

  • Analog tapes. This was done a year or two before they found walt had cancer... All the programing for the motion capture was done to analog computer tapes.

  • Of all the things I knew about Audio-Animatronics, I never knew the control harness went that far back. Talk about ahead of it's time.
