    What show would you put on Spaceship Earth?

    • @HunterTheHero
      @HunterTheHero 2 года назад +3

      A Star Wars show where Spaceship Earth’s points of light turn it into planets like Tatooine, Hoth, Coruscant, Naboo, and even the Death Star and Starkiller Base.

      I would do the song “Fireflies” by Owl City because when he sings the lyrics “I'd like to make myself believe that planet Earth turns slowly” then Spaceship Earth turns into Earth just like it did when it was in the 50th anniversary.

      Except when you look into the fact Disney (With the approval of the Henson children but still) fired Steve Whitmire (One of Jim's main puppeteers and Kermit's voice in this from the 2011 film), it's more of rubbing salt to the damaged wounds of Whitmire's career as a puppeteer with The Muppets.

    Thanks for always posting such amazing content I was crying until I heard Animal ‘s roar Disney should be making more room for the Muppets. I was in WDW 3 years ago I was so disappointed when I realized that that the store dedicated to them in Hollywood studios had closed only weeks prior to my visit Disney should show more respect to the work of Jim Henson . His vision was very similar to those of Walt Disney’s in the sense that they were both dreamers & believers. We all need more people like that in the world Ps Please pardon my long editorial...
