Ernest goes to Splash Mountain!

In 1989, this special aired on television in order to promote the opening of Splash Mountain At Disneyland.  My reality with regards to this very important bit of history is two-fold:

1) I had no idea this existed until very recently.

2) I freaking love that this exists!

I was somewhat complacent that Disney's promotional videos involve Samantha Brown, 50% slow motion shots, and between 3-5 moments where I actually tear up (it does't take much folks).  It's often refreshing to unearth things from Disney's past where they clearly are not taking themselves too seriously. This is so incredibly silly and different from the homogenous crap that we're used to seeing. Welp, enjoy!
