As you approach, you’ll hear the classic song playing along with a medley of holiday tunes. As dusk begins to fall, gather in front of the attraction’s iconic façade and watch thousands of twinkling lights come to brilliant life. Then, every 30 minutes throughout the night, watch in wonder as a joyous light projection show animates the façade with a kaleidoscope of charming holiday colors and images. It’s a memorable nighttime treat—and the perfect way to kick off the most wonderful time of the year! Set sail along a wondrous wintry waterway transformed with whimsical décor. Behold delightful regional adornments all along your world tour of good cheer. Listen as the costumed chorus of children sings a medley of traditional holiday tunes—plus the classic “It’s a Small World (After All).”
The enchantment begins as you approach the iconic façade, which is adorned with thousands of shimmering lights for the season. A Charlie Brown Christmas has been hailed as a staple of the Christmas season for decades since it aired in '65, and launched a legacy for Peanuts as a franchise and a generation of animators. Ironically, it was commissioned by The Coca-Cola Company, and if not for this mega-corporation, this anti-commercialization-of-Christmas special and maybe even all the specials, movies and commercials that would follow would not be possible. Their sponsorship tags would be cut from subsequent broadcasts, although the studio also used this to their benefit to correct the clearest and most fixable animation errors they could notice (while adding a few more in, ironically), the end result having been a disaster in the eyes of Melendez and New York executives in the first place.
The version that has been broadcast and remastered since is the revised version, while the original print would not be screened ever again except during special screenings from an vintage 16mm print. One of these prints was offered to ParamountCartoons, member of the Internet Animation Database forums, who dissected as much as he could from this version, and the print was soon shared as a colour-corrected MKV at the Lost Media Wiki for all to enjoy and examine, and in this video will be compared in split-screen with the changes made in the final cut.
