Talk:Disney on Ice

This article needs to be cleaned up to become more neutral. Sentences such as "featuring all your favorite Disney music" sound like a sales pitch than an objective presentation of facts. -- unsigned comment by Special:Contributions/99.255.9.241

Why is it 100 years of Magic. That is inaccurate both now and in 1999 when the piece was debuted. The best I can think of is 1901 being when Walt was born.--TimothyJacobson (talk) 18:16, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

You are indeed correct, it was related to the 100th birthday of Walt Disney, not something to do with the ice shows themselves (which only debuted in the early 80s)

This article needs references. If it were something besides Disney the Deletionists would have slowly destroyed this article one line at a time.

There was an interesting but unverified piece of information added saying most shows premiered in Florida. It would be nice to verify this and the opening dates could really do with citations.

Disney don't make it easy to link to their website due to their excessive use of flash and poor accessibility but perhaps there are news reviews, magazine articles, or books that do give some sources to help verify some of this article. -- Horkana (talk) 01:12, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Kinda hard to show "proof" of opening in the various cities, Ticketmaster, which would probably be the best but tends not to archive old ticket dates for that long - there is perhaps a chance we can find news/tv bits out of Lakeland though... Otherwise the dates for now have been taken from an internal database, by me, which is impossible to reference on wikipedia. Lord of Haha (talk) 17:39, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

I realise it is difficult but the expectation is that all articles have "proof" and references. If anything particuarly interesting does come up you can often use WebCite.org to preserve temporarly sources like ticketmaster or press releases or news articles. -- Horkana (talk) 16:06, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

Not sure where exactly this might fit (probably with the show of the same name I guess) but a tie-in CD of the music (facts) are worth mentioning in some way: Disney on Ice: 100 Years of Magic -- Horkana (talk) 3 January 2011 (UTC)

The Stage has reviews of the shows that came to the UK, so the article now has at least some references to help verify some of the details in the article. Not only do they give a brief outline of the shows they also give some criticism and critical reaction so there is potential to add a bit from the critics too. -- 93.107.156.176 (talk) 23:03, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

The shows have regional varitions. For example I was talking with the crew of 100 Years of Magic and was told Disney traditional hand drawn animation is more popular in Japan than modern Pixar computer generated films, so the Incredibles section of the show was replaced with a segment featuring Lilo & Stitch.

How can we account for regional variations? Some editors will mistakenly add films to the list when the characters appear only briefly as part of the group without actually getting their own story segment. Other editors will make drive-by changes in good faith based on the version of the show they actually saw in their area. This further complicates the difficult task of trying to WP:VERIFY anything in this article. -- Horkana (talk) 14:41, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

I was on 100 Years of Magic for a while, the Lilo & Stitch element was a rare aspect - often any variations that get picked up along the way - stay. For example the Lilo & Stitch element you are talking about lived on for a while, and made its way to Mexico too. While many other changes allow for some changes that occur over time (ie: Mickey & Minnie's Magical Journey has had a few stories added/removed in the past 4 years)

As for a "knowing" if its a regional variation or not, I think it's near impossible to verify - simply because any way to verify this would be internal knowledge which is more or less impossible to quote.

I'm concerned that a lot of the show listings give undue weight to characters that only appear briefly. I suppose all I can do is ask those who are more familiar with the show to try and keep the article from becoming too misleading where it overemphasizes minor characters that do not really get their own story section. -- Horkana (talk) 11:45, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

A section "In popular culture" was added to the article. I'm concerned that the items are not particularly WP:NOTABLE, ideally they should have references such as reviews noting the connection. That leads to my next concern that the Reptar on Ice reference is just a general reference to any "on Ice" show (e.g. Barney on Ice) and not necessarily Disney on Ice. So far at least, the items do have links to the specific episodes they are talking about, but this section needs avoid turning into a miscellaneous list of WP:TRIVIA. -- Horkana (talk) 11:41, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Should Europe and Asia be included in "non-traditional skating regions"? That whole sentence needs to be cleaned up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.216.133.42 (talk) 08:47, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

I've seen unsourced articles but this topic is an entire unsourced category... Category:Disney on Ice with not a single reliable source cited in any of them. Wow. 2001:5C0:1000:A:0:0:0:4D5 (talk) 21:03, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

that is useful for people that want to find information about past shows.84.212.73.96 (talk) 19:06, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
