- Hilarious in Hindsight: The initial adaptation of Toy Story follows the plot of the movie pretty thoroughly. However, when we get to "The Claw" scene, the alien toys perform a dance number to Cantina Band. This particular show began performing in 1996. Guess what franchise Disney acquired 16 years later?
- Older Than They Think: While the show launched in 1981, the concept of Disney characters on ice predates the show by 35 years, as The Ice Capades would feature various Disney characters and segments in its shows from 1946-to-1963. Notably, the costumes created for the The Ice Capades would be reused for Disneyland in its first few years of operation.
- Nightmare Fuel: The costumes for some Finding Nemo characters are just... yeesh
... - Spiritual Successor: The ice show is this towards an earlier traveling show, Disney on Parade, a series of shows from the 1970s, each with different units themed to different Disney movies. Just imagine that show without ice and you've got a basic idea for the ice show. Here's an hour-long Disney TV show from 1971 and commercial from one run of the show in 1974.
