Another Reason to Loath Barney (for Barney Haters)

I hate to admit that as little girl growing up in my native New Jersey, I was a Barney fan. Of course, there are legions of those who abhor that big dinosaur, who claim that his shows on PBS, DVDs, and videos are insipid and sappy. With his fellow saurians Baby Bop and siblings Riff and BJ on hand, those types of Barney-bashing people want to assassinate him. The video from FailBlog.org, which brought us Adam’s size XXL pants, makes most of them chalk up one reason to hate him, a boy named Shawn mimes brushing his teeth and dancing, all the while using a rather obscene gesture, set to the song, “Brushing My Teeth.”

In honor of all the Barney haters, I give you – “Pantomime Fail!”

What Menken and the Late Ashman Don’t Approve

The magic of the show, Beauty and the Beast – Live on Stage, allured families, princess lovers, and theatergoers visiting Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World. At the same time, thrill-ride fans had to be dragged by their parents to the Theater of the Stars to see it either because it’s for their pleasure or because there are little girls who love princesses in their party. Well, being a thrill ride fan, theatergoer, and dedicated Disneyphile, I can take the show or leave it, but despite all the piped music, it is theatrical gold, from the waltz of the titular theme song to the New York-worthy kickline climax of “Be Our Guest.”

One YouTuber had the liberty last year to film a snippet of the show, and captured the musical number, “Something There,” when Adam, in Beast form, showed the effect of his few-sizes-larger blue trousers to the unsuspecting audience. It eventually made it on FailBlog.org as “Wardrobe Fail” almost a month ago, and at the time I was writing the post, it had over 450,000 views. I even wrote an article on that wacky incident on a Disney show and the song implicitly jokes about it!

I guess Howard Ashman is ranting in his grave right now…
