Let's Watch the Disney-MGM Studios Opening Special

Kevin, Dan, and Nate are back to watch the glorious 1989 Disney-MGM Studios Opening Special, featuring Smokey Robinson, The Pointer Sisters, Dick Van Dyke, and more.

(0:20) Eisner: “Hello, I’m Michael Eisner.” The Perj: “Y E S .” Audience: “OOH... S**t’s about to go down, man!”

[@scaram0uche]

"Kylo Ren casual" made my sister shoot hot tea out of her nose. Also, this may be my new favorite version of Magic to Do from Pippin???

[@michaeleisner4758]

I'm in the thumbnail, ah this is perfection. Also at the time of this special, Lech wasn't president of Poland yet. He became president in December 1990

[@DoubleM515]

“Would you look at that?” “No.” Why did that crack me up so much lol

[@l.g.956]

I really like the idea that the Walt Disney Company chose to have an anti-Communist Polish leader from the tail end of the Cold War and Margaret Thatcher to advertise for their little faux-Hollywood theme park like what was Michael thinking lol.

[@micycles1200]

He was probably like, "Well, if we're going to have Ronny Reagan on here, might as well bring in the whole crew."

[@fritzimperial9210]

"That's the guy from the Universal videos, he's a traitor" my favorite line

[@joeymontgomery1191]

YES!!! The kings of Disney nostalgia and satire have returned!

[@ThatOtherNathan]

"poor people." what a lovely quote that has absolutely 0 connection to the special currently going on.

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

Smokey has powers we never knew

[@DoubleM515]

I love these “Lets Watch” videos, the mixture of Disney nostalgia and you guys having fun is great

[@malxredleader]

I for one, welcome our new Dark Wizard overlord Smokey Robinson!

[@redfive1300]

Glen Campbell got stuck on the Great Movie Ride. Gangster stole his guitar and we never saw Glen Campbell again for another 5 years until he was spotted at Innoventions.

[@KendrickHarrisKenfinity]

And they wanted his rhinestones!

[@orahdonovan7141]

Gosh this makes me so happy. I love this content, I practically live for it.

[@TomBrazelton]

I just wanted to say thank you for posting this. My wife and I were looking for a "Let's Watch" from you guys a couple nights ago. She'll be thrilled to learn there's a new one! Keep going!

[@PaddletailPhilly]

Ngl the costumes in this special were pretty great 👌

[@redfive1300]

We can al agree that Smokey Robinson's opening was unforgettable and should deserve a remastered version on Spotify or Apple Music.

[@ruinpowder]

“i’m just gonna keep listing movies that i’ve seen” killed me LMAO also i’m in love with the costumes at 13:49 i wish more celebrities still dressed like that

[@waterbed12]

I can’t wait till we get to the Universal promos just to see the vast difference in styles between them and Disney. Disney got a bunch of celebrities with some kind of story and went at it while Universal actually showed attractions and reasons to come

[@2x4noah]

Aw ya my favorite thing to come out of 2020

[@jtonsing]

I don't think anything will top that Smokey Robinson intro god damn...

[@krisdunphy1073]

Oh my God I am so excited! I vividly remember Watching this as a kid. We had it taped and my brother and I watched it constantly.

[@CarolinaMouse]

16:41 "Yeah Dale's in rehab" No that's actually Dale so Chip must've been in rehab! :P

[@JacobHillSBD]

Herbie really connects all of these specials, doesn't he? Even when he doesn't appear, like in the 10th anniversary special where Dean Jones and Michele Lee were the parents. He really was the Iron Man of the Disney Parks.

[@BonBon42]

🎀🎂🎊 Can The Next One Please Be The Barbie Birthday Party At Walt Disney Epcot '94 Special? Thanks❣️ 🎊🎂🎀

[@threepoint14159265]

Lech Walesa was the leader of Solidarity and played a major role in liberating Poland from communism. Why he and Thatcher are here is beyond me.

[@madaction9373]

Yes MGM Studios....Finally! Been waiting for this.

[@kingboobs20]

Michael Eisner: Hello I'm Michael Eisner. Kevin: We meet again, old friend.

[@joeymontgomery1191]

Top 10 Anime Betrayals: (9:34)

[@dan5827]

yes! I love these videos

[@MichaelPenaRiderKick]

Smokey Robinson was singing a song from the musical Pippin.

[@redfive1300]

DO The Muppets At Walt Disney World Special!!!!!

[@joeymontgomery1191]

Oh, I’m DEFINITELY down for THAT!!!

[@logancrapser3866]

That chip? Yeah Dale is in rehab. Hahahahaha. Also is west side story but it's about the socioeconomic split in mgm studios the next defunctland produced movie? Cause if it isn't it should be.

[@clarec5447]

Saving this for tonight ...but holy lord am I EXCITED

[@KendrickHarrisKenfinity]

With all of the stars, replicas and tour attractions, we have to just relish the unforgettable and cheese filled moments. Keep it up and stay safe!

[@ElyseExplosion]

Knowing that Buster Poindexter is a pseudonym of David Johansen of the New York Dolls makes this even weirder in my opinion. Not even scratching the surface of Margaret Thatcher.

[@averyeml]

These are genuinely the best things on KZbin and better than half of the RiffTrax movies I’ve watched, lmao. “I can’t read” KILLED ME

[@theresacherco3503]

Smokey Robinson and his magical demon god powers

[@brickstitch435]

Couldn't make it to the premier but at least I can enjoy it now😄

[@bizarroguy6570]

10:11 Mufasa’s cloud condo.

[@JAKECOT_CENTER]

Comedic genius. Would love to hear y’all riff the 25th anniversary of Disneyland!!!

[@classyonabudget4758]

I hope Dale is doing okay in rehab.

[@MkR2398]

WHERE WAS MARGARET OR TOMMY TUNE

[@joeymontgomery1191]

What about Julie Andrews???!!

[@JacobHillSBD]

There was a Margaret, unfortunately it was Thatcher.

[@joeymontgomery1191]

10:08 Eh, still better than the live-action remake...

[@christine5803]

Yet we still didn't get on a ride yet. My only complaint is that Herbie didn't get a musical number. I hope we get to see a Halloween Horrornights special next.

[@emmad8533]

The animal kingdom special is going to feel so ~recent~ compared to this one

[@phanfinger]

'Magic to Do' from the musical Pippin is really catchy and a good choice for the opening ahah

[@ry_avi]

Disney parks Fans when Disney announced the closure of Splash Mountain: OHH! 3:23

[@NMarsden]

Can you please upload more of your "Let's Watch" reaction videos such as Disney On Parade, all three Mickey's Fun Songs episodes, Sandy In Disneyland, Disneyland Summer Vacation, and countless others? Please Themed Alternative, I really want you guys to make more of these "Let's Watch" videos for all of us on KZbin to crack up alot!

[@fredreindljr1996]

Seeing the Streets of America in there is so surreal because now it's been replaced by Galaxy's Edge.

[@memethyst]

i love how half of this just has nothing to do with the park and the rest of it is elaborate dance numbers inside the park

[@jameskerwin2178]

Simba! Lol love this series

[@hellking36]

Honestly, Disney Dan was on fucking top of it on this one. When I finally go to epcot I'll definitely be singing, "welcome to epcot, it's time to drink"

[@DistoryDan]

*finger guns*

[@Luma38]

EuroDisney opening speciel up next!

[@joeymontgomery1191]

F L Y , F L Y , D I V E !

[@danalexander6049]

Whoever is doing the Mickey Mouse voice at 10:48 and 10:52 sounds pretty much exactly like Chris Diamantopoulos doing the voice.

[@missybarbour6885]

The real question is why Smokey Robinson is singing a Studios themed cover of "Magic To Do" from Pippin

[@WasatchWind]

Hey guys, I think the opening of Disney Quest might be one you'd enjoy: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rH2nYXatndetm68

[@disneyfanaticsanonymous6344]

Hey, wasn’t that Britney Spears in the day glow yellow looking for her jacket? Shameless MMC plug!

[@JacobHillSBD]

I'm pretty sure that Streets of America bit is just In The Heights. Lin Manuel Miranda's gonna get sued by Disney.

[@potahtwah9591]

I can't tell if Kevin is bullshitting me on the Biker Punk Indiana Jones special. Don't be Horseturdding me, Purj.

[@thetravelingsteampunkkitty534]

Fact: the snow is actually asbestos

[@stitchcorpuse2161]

Pleasssssse do Universe studios Florida Promo VHS.

[@iangraham9988]

14:24 Wait.....Walt kissed Gracie???????

[@Teletran35]

Disney even to this day can't do TV.Even the newer specials are bad

[@PrincessMeggala0913]

They used a song from the musical Pippin as the opening song. But they ruined it by using other lyrics. NOT COOL.
