EarzUp! | How Disney Influenced the Space Race

The space race of the late 1950's started not with a "bang", but with the steady "beep beep" of Sputnik, as it spun overhead. At this time, the American public was only just realizing how space travel was not only plausible, but probable, and they weren't really ready to see Russia dominating the world with technology in this manner. So how DID we get so interested in space travel in the first place? And how did that interest spread to the highest levels of the US government? Two words: Ward Kim...

EarzUp! | Interview With Pianist Tom Ameen

The music of Disney movies and theme parks is iconic. It inspires, it relaxes, it can make us happy - so of course there are artists in the world that want to put their own spin on such exemplary forms of music. Tom Ameen is a pianist who has done several Disney-themed piano albums, and we had the pleasure of talking with him on today's show. Tom is a Disney Parks fan who fell in love with music at an early age, culminating in 4 Disney music albums (with one on the way), and a Star Wars album as...

Walt’s 9 Old Men | Part One

The success of The Walt Disney Company in all of it's ventures was due in large part to the people Walt surrounded himself with. Never one to assume he was the smartest in the room, Walt was always pushing his team to learn more, to do better, because he wanted the brightest people to be on his payroll. Perhaps the most famous of these were Walt's 9 Old Men; a group of guys that were instrumental in Walt's achievements. Today, Terrence kicks off a nine-part series, focusing on one of these "Old ...

EarzUp! | Let’s Replace Luigi’s Rolickin’ Roadsters!

When you think of Cars Land, you typically think of one ride only: Radiator Springs Racers. Then maybe Flo's V-8 / the Cozy Cone for food, and if you are feeling depressed and want to suffer, you might remember Mater's Junkyard Jamboree exists. Almost nobody thinks of Luigi's Rolickin' Roadsters as being much more than a cool queue attached to what can only be loosely defined as a "ride". On today's show, we put our heads together to do Disneyland a favor, by coming up with cool ideas that can e...

Disney’s America | The Theme Park That Never Was

When a concept gets "green-lit" and approved for concept art, defined ideas and concepts, you generally would assume that it had also made it beyond the "Hey is this a bad idea" phase of any creative endeavor. Not so. In fact, Disney's America took things so far away from what could be considered of interest to anyone, that it's surprising just how far the concept was taken.

The EarzUp! Reboot Machine and the Return of SpectroTime

Through the long list of shows and attractions that have come and gone at the Disneyland Resort, there are probably only a handful that could be brought back and dropped into place with no additions or plussing and still be popular.
