"Golden Dreams" Going Bye-Bye

Thank goodness.
The last performance of Golden Dreams for the public, an American dream film performance in Disney’s California Adventure, is Sept. 7. Disney announced back in fall that as part of sprucing up California Adventure, Golden Dreams will be replaced by a dark ride based on “The Little Mermaid.” So, if you want to see the show — show up by Sept. 7. Still, the theater will be open through the spring, but only to school kids as part of the Disney youth education program.
Golden Dreams is a movie shown at Disney's California Adventure that purports to tell the history of California. I saw it the second night the park was open and immediately nicknamed it "The We Hate White People Movie". To watch that film you'd think that persons of pallor had absolutely nothing to do with the settlement and growth of California. It was one immigrant group victim story after another. A complete waste of 20 minutes, and being narrated by Whoopi Goldberg didn't help. It's too bad that kids will continue to see this propaganda through the Spring

And I'm not the only one who saw it that way. Back in June of 2006 Mark Krikorian posted an item at The Corner describing some of the things he saw during his visit to the Disney Resort. This was one of them:
The movie on California’s history at California Adventure is undiluted leftist agit-prop — with Whoopi Goldberg as the host, no less.
Good riddance to Whoopi and to Golden Dreams.
