Poor Unfortunate Souls

Mr. Hunter doesn't look as if he feels particularly unfotunate, even if he has found himself in the hands of Ursula, the sea witch who sings "Poor Unfortunate Souls" in The Little Mermaid and then tricks Ariel into giving up her voice.  

If Mr. Hunter made any deals with Ursula when he met her, he's not talking!

Love those Howard Ashman lyrics!

A Selection of Frozen Treats

One of these things is not like the other...

Mr. Hunter felt inspired to join the lineup of treats

 at this snack stand near It's a Small World.

Ice cream sandwich, anyone?  Or perhaps you'd prefer a wooden tiki doll...?

La Belle et la Bête

It's been twenty years since Disney's Beauty and the Beast was released.

Mr. Hunter and the Beast's enchanted rose.

The torn portrait.

I still remember going to see Beauty and the Beast with my best friend.  I remember the wondrous feeling of adventure and sadness during the prologue, the feeling that this could be something special.

  And I remember cracking up during the "Gaston" song.  Howard Ashman lyrics can be so astonishing; I grieve that we lost him so soon.

Caution A-Head

Disneyland likes its puns.

Mr. Hunter found this punny hat at the Autopia Winner's Circle shop in Tomorrowland.

Shrunken Ned

Mr. Hunter appreciates a corny pun now and then.

Here he is shopping in Adventureland -- at the Indiana Jones Adventure Outpost, I believe.

the sign says:

Fashion Plates

Fashion mugs, actually.

Easter Island in Anaheim

Naturally Mr. Hunter hopes to visit Easter Island someday.

He hasn't made it yet, but he couldn't resist posing with the Easter Island figures in It's a Small World. 

This particular Disneyland visit was at Christmas time, 

so the Easter Island guys were in Santa Claus mode. 

Ho ho ho!

It's a Small World

Mr. Hunter and his flat friends have learned that it is indeed a small world.

Steve's Flat Mr. Hunter got to visit Hong Kong Disneyland while on a tour of China.  Here he is with Hong Kong's It's a Small World.  Notice the umbrellas; Hong Kong was enjoying some torrential rain.

The real Mr. Hunter visited Disneyland Paris, although somehow I managed not to photograph him at It's a Small World there.
