Happy birthday to Disneyland Paris! 31 years ago on this day in 1992, the beautiful French Disneyland opened to the public. To commemorate, I finally made my first ever 11 minute loop of the soundtrack from their version of "it's a small world", my personal favorite attraction of all time. It is the original version of the Finale audio, specifically used from opening in 1992, until the 2015 refurbishment. This was my personal favorite version of their Finale audio, and one of if not my favorite soundtrack from the 1992 John Debney soundtrack recorded for this version. It had the main symphonic music for this soundtrack, mixed with a multilingual mix of the French, German, and unique English vocals, with each language getting two of the six verses in this soundtrack. But unfortunately, although much of this soundtrack is used today, this Finale audio was replaced with a different version in 2015. The current version omits the German vocals as well as these English ones, instead having a literal mix of the French and American English vocals on top of each other. Usually I love this idea, but in any small world's Finale it's weird for me. I definitely prefer this version because of that, and that it's a good basic representation of languages spoken by many of Disneyland Paris tourists. I also think it worked better in the general atmosphere of this version's Finale, with the other instrumentals, and the visuals being a more vivid, slightly modernized version of the Magic Kingdom (Since 1971) and Tokyo Disneyland (Since 1983) versions, themselves based off of the original at the 1964-65 New York World's Fair and Disneyland since 1966. However, the color palette in every version of Paris Finale seems to be based on a repaint to the California version from the late 1970's until their 2008 refurbishment. Although I personally prefer the 1960's World's Fair/Disneyland soundtrack, I still really love this soundtrack as well and was thrilled to have it released in 2019 by RedzRobinz (Thank you!). I am also really glad to have this loop of this Finale audio, I hope you enjoy it!
