Odd Yet Magical Amusement Park Photos to Brighten Your Day
Watch Out!
Despite the frightening nature of dinosaurs, kids can’t help but be fascinated by them, especially those in the “Jurassic Park” franchise. This child, for example, appears to be scared of the creature behind him yet still wants to see it up close. The Islands of Adventure at Universal Studios in Orlando is a popular destination for fans of the movie.
One of the must-see attractions is the Raptor Encounter, where visitors can get close to a raptor and snap a photo with it. The theme park is based on Steven Spielberg’s iconic 1993 film that grossed an incredible $900 million at the box office.
Instructing the Younger Generation
‘Buzz Lightyear’ is undoubtedly one of the most beloved characters in the “Toy Story” franchise. So it came as no surprise when Disney announced that it was creating a live-action spin-off movie featuring the heroic toy astronaut. However, not everyone knows that ‘Buzz Lightyear’ wasn’t always called ‘Buzz Lightyear.’
The character’s original name was supposed to be ‘Lunar Larry.’ Yet despite his name change, ‘Buzz Lightyear’ has remained a fan favorite for decades, inspiring children and adults alike. This young boy, dressed head to toe as his hero, couldn’t contain his excitement when he finally got to meet the famous toy.
Kindred Spirits
‘Mickey Mouse’ has a steadfast companion in his loyal canine pal, ‘Pluto.’ The beloved pup made his first appearance alongside the iconic mouse in the 1930 short “The Chain Gang,” and Walt Disney was so impressed with him that he decided to make him a permanent member of the crew.
Interestingly, ‘Pluto’ faced an identity crisis when he appeared as ‘Rover,’ ‘Minnie Mouse’s’ pet. But today, he’s regarded as one of the good boys in the Mickey Mouse club. Pluto is always ready to make a new pal, so when another furry friend appeared in the park, they instantly clicked.
A Family Reunion
‘Donald Duck’ is undoubtedly one of Disney’s most temperamental characters. Created by a group of illustrators, including Carl Banks, Don Rosa, and Al Taliaferro, he first appeared in the 1934 movie “Silly Symphonies.” It’s also said that Walt Disney was inspired to create Donald’s unique voice after hearing Clarence Charles Nash’s distinct quack.
Despite his well-known irritable nature, we see Donald reunite with his long-lost family in this photo. Perhaps, he missed them so much that he begged for a hug! However, given his size and color, the ducks in front of him seem wary of the larger-than-life bird in their midst.
Loyal Fans of the Mickey Mouse Franchise
Are they dogs or mice? It’s hard to tell! These service dogs are certainly well-behaved, posing side-by-side and even sporting Mickey Mouse ears. Could they be the next Pluto, Goofy, or Mortimer Mouse?
Speaking of Mickey’s friends, ‘Goofy’ is an iconic anthropomorphic animal and a member of the beloved Fabulous Five. Known for his towering height and distinctive voice, it’s hard to imagine him with a more fitting name than Goofy. However, his original moniker was ‘Dippy Dawg,’ before he became ‘George Geef.’ In an interesting twist, Goofy is the only character in the Disney universe to have a son named ‘Max.’
