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!

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.

Wild Ride

Mr. Hunter is a big fan of Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, at Disneyland.
(Aren't we all?)
December 2005

Yes, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride takes a brief detour to... Hell.

The overconfident Mr. Toad and the reflective Mr. Hunter.

And a blast from the past: a 1970s ride in the Toady car.
This is long before we knew either Mr. Hunter.

Fashion Plates

Fashion mugs, actually.



Mr. Hunter hops into some Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse mugs while he's souvenir shopping in Critter Country.

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.

Mr. Potatohead

At Disney's California Adventure, there's a super-fun (and super-popular) ride called Toy Story Midway Mania.  The lines are usually long, but it's one of those rides that's worth the wait.

Here's Mr. Hunter with the boardwalk barker, Mr. Potatohead.

The Incredibles


An utterly satisfactory moment for Mr. Hunter.  We ran into Mr. and Mrs. Incredible outside the Animation Station at Disney's California Adventure.
