Trivia / Disney on Ice

• Cash-Cow Franchise: At least five different shows are running worldwide at any given time.
• Cut Song: At least two shows each used one from the films they were adapting — "Human Again" as an instrumental for a pairs skating routine in Gaston's tavern at the start of Act Two of Beauty and the Beast, and "Master of the Lamp" as a brief comic piece for Jafar in Aladdin.
• The Merch: T-shirts, light-up wands, dolls, programs, reusable snowcone mugs, etc.
• Milestone Celebration: In The '80s there were shows themed around Donald Duck's 50th birthday (1984) and Mickey Mouse's 60th (1988). The franchise itself mounted a 10th anniversary show, and 100 Years of Magic marked Walt Disney's centennial, as well as Disneyland Adventure for Disneyland's 50th anniversary in 2005.
• The Other Darrin: Prior to 1988, characters were not voiced by their official voice actors. The 10th anniversary show from 1991 also did this with Jessica Rabbit and Eddie Valiant.
