Book[edit]

Hall of Presidents is a book —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ћофи (talk • contribs) 10:00, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

FDR slides[edit]

I just visited the Hall of Presidents - Obama was so realistic looking it was almost creepy.

Anyway, to the point, all the FDR slides during the video part of the presentation were of him without his trademark cigarette. Don't know about you, but when I think of FDR the image of him with a cigarette stands out in my mind.

Has it always been this way or is Disney pulling a revisionist PC stunt?

Thomas (talk) 20:55, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

My suspicion is both - the hall opened in 1971 and widespread condemnation of marketing cigarettes to children had already begun. Between that and three technical issues (how would you get the holder to sit there without the subtle pressure human muscles had a monopoly on at that time? how would you keep lip motions realistic with an object in the mouth? how could spot lighting accomodate it fully?), I'd believe that technicians and organizers independently decided to avoid that image - Roosevelt on campaign, rather than in the thick of the New Deal or the winter of the war.

And in the end, it's hardly 'political correctness' to elide a universally acknowledged but youth-inappropriate part of a historical personality for a light educational display. It might have been more accurate to have made Jack Kennedy with Marilyn Monroe's hand surgically attached to his bonch, but try selling tickets for it.

More stuff[edit]

I got this while surfing youtube, i was wondering if this link is encyclopedic? According to the link, it was on AFV and the tape was dated April the 18th, 1993. Is anyone good with adding another section to the article?

The link alone is pretty much useless; we'd need some sort of textual source describing the occurrence. Powers ^T 14:30, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This article states that as of 1993, Disney voice actors such as Paul Frees no longer appear in the Hall of Presidents show. I have seen the show many times between 2001 and 2007, and Paul Frees is very prominent in the show, voicing several characters. Additionally, other voice actors in the show are very familiar and harken back to my memories of 'Walt Disney-era' Disney television and films. Perhaps between 1993 and 2001 Disney opted to reintegrate the original voice talent?

As You can tell by the Sound of Lincolns Voice. The Voice of Lincoln was Royal Dano (As You can Tell by the Sound of Lincolns Voice) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vHOng0vm8o (Please Skip to 7:35)
