140. The Panache of Mr. Toad: Neglected Art & Barnyard Chaos in WDW's Mr. Toad's Wild Ride - Track B - Part 14
What are several glaring anachronisms in Walt Disney World’s Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride?On this episode of Distory, we motor on through the first half of Track B in the extinct Walt Disney World version of Mr. Toad, looking for the details and history that have been lost over time. After discussing some silly portraits (and a disappointing motto) in Toad Hall, we crash into the library and find some anachronistic quills, a few connections to Disneyland, and a surprising origin of a word connected to a piece of armor. We then fly out into the barnyard to explore some recycled Bruce Bushman concepts, learn about curly pig tails, and admire some eyelashes. Kirk gives us a lesson on Disney’s favorite chickens, Kate gives a rundown of some repeated audio animatronics, and we end this episode toasting Disney’s incredible illusioneer Yale Gracey, who brought us chicken mobiles, pouring tea, mylar flames. and so much more.
