32 thoughts on “Disney’s Living Characters: A Broken Promise”

  1. Hey everyone! Thanks for watching this monstrosity of a video. The real broken promise was not the friends we made along the way, but the fact that we had a few credits ommisions, including one of our Patreon Executive Producers, Bill Zanetti, and one of our Patreon tiers were not listed in the end crawl. This was due to an error on my part, and I'm really sorry. Please view them here, and play the credits music as you view them. https://bit.ly/49AMcXl

    Also, I am planning on playing Thrillville for this year's charity stream. We will likely simultaneously stream on my Twitch ( https://m.twitch.tv/defunctland/ ) videos and our second channel Defunctland After Dark ( https://www.youtube.com/@DefunctlandAfterDark ). More details to come soon. Looking forward to playing some PS2 and raising some money for a good cause.

    Take care and thank you, sincerely, for allowing me to create things.

  2. They just did it again with the Olaf showing. But Disney now wont do anything that wont make money. They are already making a huge amount thru the parks where they dont need to add the non living NPCs

  12. "They wanted a character to live in the parks. And the character they chose was a big one. THE big one."
    *The doors swing open, revealing:*
    "…a powerful rat…"

  13. 01:42:20 This whole thing got me thinking about the way Disney lacks consistency in countless areas of their entire existence. And nowadays, they hate admitting when they've screwed up, or that a mistake they made happened at all, or that the mistake was definitely a thing they did, in retrospect, they shouldn't have done.

    Disney's also inconsistent in the more bendy things, like promises they make and plans they set up. They're inconsistent in the things that are definite financial risks, and all of what they do. They manage to keep a pretty spotless public image, though. Keeping quiet about anything negative works in their favor because their positive reputation precedes them thanks to the public and their timeless catalog of really good movies and projects.

    ("I really didn't like Wish and I can't believe they made Elemental, but most of Disney's/Pixar's work is incredible. Horrible ethical conundrums aside, I grew up on Disney Channel, and I'll never get tired of The Lion King. My kids had a great time at the parks, too, and we made a lot of memories there. It's half our old photo albums.")

    It's like a wealthy country's government, or any huge business that has its fingers in all kinds of pies. It's an enormous entity made up of tons of smaller groups. Amazon is a good example, or Google. The US, Chinese, or Russian governments as political examples. As long as they MOSTLY work and are profitable in a monetary or social sense, they're basically safe from downfall. Even one or two truly bad leaders haven't killed Disney or Google yet. For now.

    Barely anything they do even matters. Even one big screw-up can't kill them, not completely. They're not untouchable, but they're like a freaking hydra in the sense that cutting off one or even several heads doesn't hurt them in the grand scheme of things.

  17. As much as the lack of roaming automated animatronics sucks, I imagine a big reason for it is how much of a risk there is of guests messing with or destroying them? Just spitballing

  18. I'm 2 hours, 6 minutes in and It's occurring to me now…is this how we got AI Darth Vader in Fortnite? Some secret "Living Character Initiative" playtest? Fortnite Players being guinea pigs for a future horrifying Disney Attraction?

  22. All the while of watching this video I keep thinking about the two themeparks closest to where I used to live. the Efteling in the Netherlands, and Bobbejaanland in Belgium. One is themed to fairy tales and is partly immersive, and a beautifully designed park with some really good attractions, the other was the brain worm of a country singer, with very little left to his memory – but it's a good fun park with lots of rides and relatively short wait times. If you asked which was my favorite park, it would probably be the latter, cause I never went to parks for the theme, but for the rides.

    But man what an incredibly deep dive again, RIP big dino, as much as that was a liability, he was very cool.

  24. Okay so Disney made a ultimate robot of death in the 90s and they're still not a DoD contractor? They're doing quadripedal tank that weight 5 t just for the sake of it? I respect that

  29. DOCTOR BUNSEN HONEYDEW, the CANON GAY MUPPET would NOT be homophobic

    also as an enby, stitch saying the nonbinary people "aren't meant to create but to destroy", while intended to be crude & transphobic, is metal af

  30. Dang, I don't even care about Mickey Mouse that much, but honestly the attention they gave him as a soundboard live character (in Magic Words With Mickey) really almost brings a tear to my eye, it's so cool in a way even as this video seeks to critique the concept as a whole
