Snoozles™
Snoozles™! You know the drill. Seeing this first scan (from a slide dated "November, 1961"), it's clear why it's a Snoozle, having been drained of all color except for pink and a trace of yellow. It's not great, Bob.
But I decided, what the heck, why not try to do a little Photoshoppin'? It helped a bit. The photo was taken from the Disneyland RR - I appreciate that the somebody was moved to try to capture the Mark Twain as it churned along the west side of the Rivers of America - but the timing was off.
From July, 1972 comes this very pink (but not due to fugitive dyes) photo from The Enchanted Tiki Room. It's not terrible, per se, but the angle is odd, and it takes a moment to figure out what's what. I can't help hearing "Let's All Sing Like the Birdies Sing" in my mind when looking at this picture!

Mark Twain Butt and Bird Butts…there is a theme here, I think.
Thanks, Major, for today’s fun pics!
Major-
The Enchanted Tiki Room has not aged well with me. On the other hand, I can still remember quite vividly to this day being there in June, 1963, watching the outdoor pre-show and looking-about in the theater at the many features of the entire show and being spellbound.
So, even for this guest, Disney clearly did something right-!
Thanks, Major.
"The timing was off"... Looks like the timing and the faded color were the least of this photo's problems. It's the motion blur that probably sent this pic to the Snoozle bin. Motion blur can add to a photo's appeal, if it's not too bad. But there's just too much here. The photographer should've told the engineer/driver/train guy to stop the train so he could get a decent picture. ;-p What is that structure sticking up in the background? Pretty good shot of Injun Joe's front door.
Hmm, I have to agree with you on the 2nd pic. It's very difficult to tell what the heck we're looking at! It's pretty and artistic, but... At first I saw only one bird (Susette), finally I could see a couple more. The thumbnail looks like a dancing shrimp with a Carmen Miranda fruit-laden headpiece.
Sue, Major is going to remind you that this is a Family Blog. :-D
Nanook, the part of the Tiki Room I remember most is the clickity-clacking, carved chanting Tikis on the corners of the walls.
Fun Snoozles today, Major. Thanks.
Something fishy in that first picture. Is that a nasa guy on the other side of the river by the cave entrance? What would he be doing there? I smell sabotage!
Jawohl! It's Offenbach! ;-)
