Disneyland Pirates of the Caribbean History Documentary by David Oneal

[@monique10j]

1:16:22 The voice of the talking skull. X Atencio, the legendary Disney animator and Imagineer who worked on “Pinocchio” and “Fantasia” and helped bring the Pirates of the Caribbean and Haunted Mansion attractions to life at Disneyland, died on Sept. 10 2017. He was 98. Atencio worked for Disney from 1938 through 1984. He left the studio temporarily during World War II to join the Army Air Corps. He was inducted as a Disney Legend in 1996. Atencio was a favorite of Walt Disney’s for his versatility as an animator, tunesmith, writer, and innovator who brought indelible touches to some of Disneyland’s best-loved attractions...

[@Mstarhorses]

I loved the fireflies, the sound of the crickets and hanging lanterns as you boarded the boats and started out on the ride...made it all seem so real. I am saddened any time a change is made that is different from the original design and concept. I think the persons in charge at Disneyland park should listen to the overwhelming response of the people.

[@skunkman9815]

Yeah i hate change too

[@Tryingtohaveityall]

This video was mentioned on another creator’s video. They called it the best piece done on POTC. I have to agree. Incredibly well done. Love all the interviews of the imagineers we’ve lost.

[@xo6910]

Beautiful video - so nice to hear from many of the attraction’s creators! A great tribute to a magical ride. Thank you!

[@Spartan265]

My favorite ride in Disneyland. Even since I was a kid. I haven't been in about 10ish years. Really need to go again.

[@jaysonrogoz8822]

This remind of mini documentary that Disney make at the end of VHS Tape. It feel nostalgia and heart warming this is a cute feel as a child

[@TL_oS]

Thank you for gathering these amazing people together to tell the story of this magical attraction. Just brilliant.

These animatronics are so well for the time! They are so realistic and smooth in their movements, and so revolutionary! In the Netherlands we have an amazing themepark but some of the new animatronics are so fake and stiff, but these after all these years still work perfectly fine. Stunning.

Happy 50th Anniversary Pirates of the Caribbean!!!!! Yo Ho, Yo Ho! A Pirate's Life For Me!!!!!

[@ZoeTheCat]

X Atencio needs a super-kudos shoutout for that song. So Iconic and yet he sounds like he came up with it overnight.

[@WarrenFahyAuthor]

My step-sister worked as a matron at the the Blue Bayou restaurant at Disneyland during the '70s and '80s for 20 years. She treated me and my miscreant friends with special fudge cakes after our Monte Cristo sandwiches whenever I showed up like a bad dabloon, and she gave us E-Tickets and C-Tickets that she had been left as tips, too! Damn it, it was all so good back then....

[@JoeMotionVideos82]

So few people can make an impact on the world like Walt Disney.

[@skunkman9815]

I’d make an impact.

[@kparcparc4230]

Next time I ride on Pirates, I'll have to look up! I never noticed the sky before. THANKS FOR POSTING THIS!

[@lesmorrow226]

This was GREAT! Thanks for posting! This and Haunted Mansion are my favorite attractions ever. All those guys are geniuses, especially Marc Davis. IMHO they soiled it when they implemented all the movie stuff, but oh well. I've only ever been to WDW and hope to visit the original very soon!

[@skipbauchmam5995]

This is the best historic review of this attraction. I was at Disneyland.on a schoolField trip. We stumbled across Pirates. There was no line. We walked in and got into a boat with 3 other students we rode this thing a bunch of times. That was a great ride.

[@erniedemos3074]

To see Walt Disney everywhere on everything is just spectacular! Thank you Mr Oneal!

[@marvinjenkins4212]

Man that unused Western show looked fantastic. Disney should have looked into that!

[@downlink5877]

It genuinely was going to be built. Some of the animatronics even went into production.

[@wenchsammas]

I think he had passed away by then.

[@Lil_Angry_Bitch]

Disney woudl never build that now. Animatronics are too expensive and Disney won't build a ride anymore that isn't based on an IP.

[@kkeegan32]

They really should do this today. The cowboy version of pirates!

[@Fire-Wolf-The-Wolgan]

Maybe they should try to fit those animatronics into Thunder Mountain.

[@DodgerBlueRobert]

Watching this in 2019. At the 46:30 mark, there’s a lady saying how “you can’t make it politically correct. You’d have to take everything out of it.” Hmmm, interesting.

[@AntiFaGoat]

Meh... I think that's less true now that PotC is a mish-mash of the original ride and the movies. The ride doesn't know what it is anymore, so you might as well change it. Besides, little girls want to be pirates too. That's an awkward conversation comparing the movies and ride. - At least we got that cool dead pirate effect, original cave audio and a dancing octopus out of the deal (in Disneyland).

[@skunkman9815]

Sounds like another ride that is about to open at disneyworld and disneyland that replaced a beloved water ride

[@DodgerBlueRobert]

@@skunkman9815 yup, exactly.

[@DavidinSLO]

thanks for posting: the story about Walt Disney spending the night - alone, wow! - in Carlsbad Caverns is absolutely incredible! (25:48) And love the quote from Walt himself: "when you spend a night in a place like this by yourself, is when you realize the hand of God is what built this." Couldn't agree more.

[@healthymindedkids3213]

Yes, thank you! It was on youtube before but since taken down! I am thrilled to see it again!

[@loricottrell1520]

another one of my fav rides of all time.

[@angelcitygirl]

Disneyland was a part of my childhood and super nostalgic. I hate any changes and adding the star wars world is just lame.

[@edart9]

Always enjoyed Walt's presentations, he made my childhood very enjoyable and creative! @EdArt9~~ sho buz~~~~

[@vivalapinkchic]

Seems like the original Pirates of the Caribbean ride tells more of a story than the one here at Disney World.

[@CODMarioWarfare]

Even before 2006 the narrative was pretty lost in the Orlando version. It's very much abridged.

[@NotOurRemedy]

They thought Orlando wouldn’t want a pirates ride so they had to squeeze one in without really any room.

[@newworldastrology1102]

I’ve never heard anyone complain about the Blue Bayou when you’re on the ride, except the woman in this documentary.

[@caseypilarczyk9312]

"What happens when we're out of Walt's ideas?" Well you just buy every other studio, assimilate it into Disney, and continue off of their ideas.

[@PO0DGE]

Tower of Terror wasn't mediocre though! The atmosphere sold that ride a thousand times over!

[@gargantuaism]

Yeah.

[@Jcolinsol]

That's why you should never incorporate your business. They'll take everything you've built, they'll even take your name, and they'll exploit it all for profit.

[@agustinlavia]

bigevilwhatever, you do realize that every single one of your examples actually ratifies what Icon of Sin said, right? All the attractions you mention appeared way after Walt Disney died. Try to check your facts before trying to sound sarcastic.

[@skunkman9815]

To be honest i used to be scared of this ride when i was little, but it wasn’t until i went with my brother my dad, my grandma and grandpa when i finally got over my fear of the ride. Also the reason why i was scared of this ride was not the animatronics or the atmosphere, it’s the waterfalls

[@TheStgmp44]

why is the rum always gone

[@DoubleMrE]

I rode on this ride when I was 8 years old in the first week it was open.

[@amazingtoad7244]

Woah cool! What were the crowds like?

[@DoubleMrE]

@@amazingtoad7244 Back in those days, nothing was as crowded as things are today. There was a fair amount of people in the park, but we got on the ride pretty quickly. I don't have any recollection of waiting in line a long time. Maybe around 10 mins. for my whole family to get on. 😉

[@binyon7]

Does anyone know what year this documentary was released?

[@postallyheidi5821]

based on the camera quality / production value / and people's clothing, probably in the 70s?

[@ValenciaJoe]

Dave O’Neal did these DVDs a few years ago. It was fan-produced. He got sued by Disney for using copyrighted material on DVDs that he made. You can find these on eBay.

[@sodadj1608]

Love it

[@robotwolf]

Unnecessary trivia: The bird barking at Pirates was called "Plaza Parrot" in the show manual. He had a "breathe" function that was kind of gross due to his scar tissue tattoo.

[@taticatnineland]

robotwolf I used to think it was cute, even the breathing. My mother used to comment to me ‘silly parrot! No one’s going to see your tattoo once your feathers grow back in!’ ☺️ And then we’d make fun of him while we waited in line.

[@sabrinanascimento5248]

The Pirates will always be my favorite ride, this is before Captain Jack Sparrow.

[@runi5413]

Me thinks there was something going on there between old Walt and "Miss Disneyland Centennial"... Kinda thinking the pirates weren't the only ones getting booty back then, if you catch my drift.

I will never understand why the Pirates ride at Disneyland is so much better than the one at Disney World. I am a WDW regular, so I have only been on the Disneyland ride once. That and the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Both the California rides are so much better than the Florida versions.

[@1crispypickle]

this is very cool

[@emmaduncan2991]

as a kid, I have to admit, I was a bit disappointed, that female pirates Anne Bonny and Mary Read were not represented. apart from that, still, the most perfect ride.

[@beepbeeplettuce5890]

the ride wasnt meant to showcase real pirates, it was a romanticized version of what being a pirate was like

[@AestheticMess]

It would have been quite funny to have had a female pirate chasing a man next to the male pirate chasing a woman.

[@Hal566]

Felt it was a shame to see the artists work being changed because of todays marginal culture. This is my personal opinion and response to the political correctness issue as a whole now days. This kind of attitude is a slippery slope, and its really disguised in a sort of superiority complex of fake modern morality. The problem is when you start erasing the past to safe guard a hand full of peoples fragile sensibilities and feelings theres really no end to it, is there? Everyones feelings and complaints are now valid, and thats more important in this outrage culture. Who cares about an artists vision or being historically acurate. Something vague as each individuals reactions and feelings are now king and dictate how we must all live. People like this will always find new things to get offended by. Theres no limit or end to it. Someone will get offended for the lack of gender neutral characters in the ride, or that they didn't use enough pink, while others will get offended for you simply disagreeing with them. Where is this all taking us? Tip toeing to these kind of ideals will have us living in a completely homogeneous and bland world where no one can express themselves because it might hurt somone elses beliefs or feelings. How exactly in the long run is that making anything better. History is what it is. As well as art. Hiding from it achieves nothing. We have to face it all and accept it for what it is. Changing times shouldn't dictate the past or even the present it should only colour each individuals choice how to live in the now. Hiding from what has come before achieves nothing. Observing it for what it is doesnt mean you agree with it either. How we treat each other in the here and now has nothing to do with the past or art. We should let things be and truly give each other the freedom to be ourselves without the noose of public offence and nannying to rule our lives. That all being said did they really need to change the ride? Who exactly was it hurting? I really hope we learn to laugh again and stop taking everything so seriously in the years to come, if not i don't like where were headed as a people.

[@GlockenWhale]

"boo hoo hoo, why can't i laugh about women getting raped wah :'("

[@johnlynch42069]

I thought the grand opening was 18 March 1967, not 19 April 1967.

[@josephnixon5509]

John Lynch March was the soft opening. April was when it opened to the public and everyone else

[@johnlynch42069]

I figured out that the public was allowed to ride it in March and the official press event was in April. All I know is that it would've been cool to go on it when it first opened.

[@jenlee3110]

Sigh. First time I went to Disneyland was 1997, the year they shut it down to make it PC. I didn't get to see the original version and that irks me.

[@alexamerling9363]

Bet you wish they made more movies like Dumbo with racially stereotypical crows too right? Times change. Grow the hell up.

[@JD-dq8zn]

Kayla Day Yeah, let's be sure to cover up real history so nobody's feelings get hurt. This is not to say that the original ride was particularly accurate, but the idea that something like slavery should be covered up is wrong. People should be more upset that drunkenness, prostitution and crime are being romanticized, if they're going to take offense at caricatures.

[@sentinelmoonfang]

Alex Amerling That's a really closed-minded way to look at it. I'm also against changing classic Disney rides like Pirates of the Caribbean (though I find adding the movie characters much more egregious.) I would also be against removing the crows from Dumbo, and no, that doesn't mean I'd like to see that in movies now. What it comes down to is changing someone's art. I'm particularly passionate about this as a professional prop and set builder. An attraction like Pirates of the Caribbean is a piece of art, and documentaries like this only scratch the surface of how much labor, creativity and craft went into something like that. And yet it seems that Disney is able to easily dismiss all that passion, creativity and artist ownership of the finished piece. While art may later prove to be offensive to some, that's part of why it shouldn't be changed, as it serves as a reminder of the cultural climate during its production. We shouldn't forget things like how Native Americans were portrayed in Peter Pan or how lightly slavery themes were addressed in Song of the South... In censoring or modifying those things to fit with modern sensibilities we lose both the window into the artists' mind provided by the original piece of art, and with it a valuable look into the time as well. If racial stereotypes were common then, we should know that, as it helps us not only to see how far we've come since, but also it lets us see how pervasive and casual hurtful stereotypes were, which lets us better understand the plight of the victims of those stereotypes. There's an argument to be made against pieces of art that are created with malice. For instance the Confederate statues in many states (which were commissioned predominantly during the 40's-60's by groups sympathetic to the KKK,) but with something like a Disney ride, there is no such slight intended. It's not about historical accuracy to the eighteenth century. It's about historical accuracy to when the ride was created, which was also a different time. And as an artist, working in the same field as the people who made that ride, I would be grossly offended to see my work altered somewhere down the line. If something like the Siamese cats in Lady and the Tramp make you feel uncomfortable now, then good. That should make you feel uncomfortable, it shows you're a good person, but on the other side of that coin, intentionally censoring that leaves the door open for ignorance about those racial stereotypes.

[@MsDisneylandlover]

this ride can be two hr wait smh

[@Captain_Of_A_Starship]

Wow, that political correctness part really shows how ridiculous it can get, making villain everything until nothing is right.

[@alexamerling9363]

Times change. Grow the fuck up. By your logic, we need more movies like Song of the South or Dumbo with racially stereotypical crows right? I bet you miss the Jim Crow days right?

[@Clay3613]

You have never seen Song Of The South yourself have you? Nope, just keep parroting your useless lies and misinformation because you want to be outraged. You feed off of insulting people!

[@NotOurRemedy]

Song of the south wasn’t racist is was just very very racially tone deaf. It couldn’t predict a world where anything concerning the old south and black people would be a very very touchy subject. So the uncle Remus character just seems so so racially insensitive now. The movie itself honestly doesn’t have anything about slavery or anything in it. No one even can tell if they are slaves or not.

[@TherealRNOwwfpooh]

I have & David Burnett is actually correct. There is no indication of slavery because the film is actually set post-slavery during the Reconstruction period. So yes, segregation still existed at the time that the film was said to have taken place & even when the film finally premiered, it came about around time of the Civil Rights movement getting underway, so there were known issues going in when the film was made & eventually released. In fact, the premiere got so abrasive that, for his own safety due to the massive outbreak of violence surrounding the controversial nature of the film (surprisingly, even though African-Americans in the film were treated positively, the NAACP cried foul, falsely assuming, like many viewers did, that Walt Disney was idealizing & romanticizing the plight of black persons, which was not the case, because once again, the film is set in the antebellum South during Reconstruction post-slavery & even any segregation the film might've had was underplayed if it was shown at all, which from my concise viewing of the film, wasn't the case, because the actual conflicts within the film were with Johnny running away from home after blaming himself for his parent's infighting & possible divorce [which was naturally because divorce at the time was also seemingly unheard of, let alone talked about],only to return home with new resolve that led to him gamely trying to back up his black friend & the lithe little girl playing up the southern belle stereotype serving as Johnny's adolescent love interest against neighborhood bullies next door who rudely pushed Johnny's black friend down like the jerks they were clearly intended to be & even made the aforementioned doe-eyed blond with her hair in curled ringlets cry after turning their hurtful actions towards her, which resulted in Johnny standing up to the two bullies to protect his fallen friend & defend his lady's honor like a true gentleman, only to find himself on the receiving end of a knock-out beatdown, which transitioned to bedside concern from Johnny's parents that actually reunited them for their son's safety & was the catalyst for what brought them back together after arguing throughout the first half of the film whenever they were on-screen, yet because it was Uncle Remus' stories that appeared to light a fire under Johnny in which he stood up to the bullies & took the clubbing he got like a man, Johnny's almost liberal parents were thinking of not letting Uncle Remus come visit anymore if his stories led to their son getting injured, when in actuality, the entire problem began with their own petty squabbling that had caused their son to run away in the first place & they should've been proud of their boy for manning up & standing toe-to-toe with the bullies like a man instead of cowering in fear or whining childishly that the government should sue for every miniscule transgression like overly-sensitive people prefer over standing up for what's morally right [which may or may not mean decking blindly ignorant scumbags who deserve it in the face or perhaps even hitting below the belt, if absolutely necessary, but only as a last resort if either talking out any problematic situation like sensible people or trying to ignore any possible confrontation just do not work as solutions] as a direct result of political correctness gone terribly awry nowadays, however the film ended on a happier note as Johnny got better from his injuries, the bullies were likely properly punished by their strict parents after being made to apologize even if said comeuppance occurred off-screen due to time constraints & the 3 main kids - Johnny, his black friend & his debutant lady fair - joined the cartoon animals that were spliced into their "real world" via green screen effects in a reprise of Zip-a-dee-doo-dah whilst kindly Uncle Remus used his walking stick/cane to hobble along behind them, as the sun dipped beneath the horizon before a fade-to-black curtain close & the ending credits rolled), James Bassett, the African-American hired to portray the kindly freed man Uncle Remus (who, in character, still remained loyal to the affluent family he previously worked under - as even the mammy archetype nursemaid remained employed as hired help after slavery was abolished, as well - but he more so served a role as mentor/teacher to the neighborhood children, essentially using the Br'er Rabbit tales as metaphors to impart life lessons as well as lighten the tension, with the only racist story out of the bunch told being that of the Tar Baby, which ironically was the only Br'er Rabbit adventure that wound up getting recorded as a "Story & Song" LP record & "Read-Along" audio cassette in spite of the fact that it had blatant racist connotations to it [the Tar Baby - a "person" Br'er Fox & Br'er Bear made out of gooey black tar to trap Br'er Rabbit - being a symbol of black persons who just wanted to be left alone in peace & Br'er Rabbit's uncharacteristically hostile reaction to the Tar Baby literally being unable to answer him when he asked it "How Do Ya Do?" but got no response, obviously because it was just tar done up like a person & therefore, couldn't talk, which somehow riled Br'er Rabbit up enough to punch it in its "face" & end up stuck in the tar - which was a thinly disguised representation of white-on-black violence that ended up being played for comedic effect once Br'er Rabbit found himself unable to escape the mucky situation he put himself in - which meant that the Tar Baby trick Br'er Fox & Br'er Bear pulled actually succeeded, only for Br'er Rabbit to fool them again upon being freed from the tar & strung up upside down via hanging rope above a boiling kettle inside the villain's cave lair), was told to stay away to avoid possibly getting attacked by white supremacy skinhead racist scum were he to show up at the film's gala opening. @@Clay3613

[@Jiskpirate]

Well actually, the Wicked Wench was the Black Pearl before it got sunk by Cutler Beckett when he branded Jack a pirate because Jack didn't want to transport slaves for the EITC. So there's a sense of accuracy in there. And really, I wouldn't want them to paint the Wicked Wench into the Black Pearl because hell, it would take away the craftmanship that's over half a century old.

[@jqulrich]

I have nothing but love for Atencio and everything he did, but what a hypocrite! Literally mentions how people wanted to have their voice used so they could go on the ride and tell others, "Hey that's my voice!" to boost their ego. Yet when the filmmaker mentions his favorite quote on the ride, he perks up and says, "That's my voice!" He obviously has the biggest ego of them all, but it's funny that he pointed out others, and did the same thing. If that's not being a hypocrite then I don't know what is!

[@ellieespinoza8088]

I personally don't see anything wrong with the original redhead scene. I think it's accurate to how pirates would be acting and now that iconic scene is being taken away. It makes me question what Walt would think about this change.

[@OrdinaryPigeon]

Walt also regularly attended the German American Bund and happily hosted Leni Riefenstahl. Also the ride has next to nothing historically accurate in it and never has.
